Default What direction do I take with my GT?

Well its time to mod the GT or sell it. I have 3 different setups i want to go with with wheels/tires. it is a DD and no it will never get more mods under the hood (C&L Racer intake with Diablosport tune, Steeda UDP and charge plates and exhaust) I want visual.

The current pics of the Car:






Option 1: Leave it alone other than billet grill (already ordered)

Option 2: Cervinis classic lip/painted, FRPP springs, chrome 18x9 AR Shelby Razors

Option 3: Complete Saleen Body kit, FRPP springs with 5 spoke Saleen 20's

Option 4: Cervinis C500 body kit FRPP springs with 20x9 AR Razors in chrome or gray

i have always been a huge fan of the saleen styling... all except for the spoiler that is on some of the cars... If i didnt think the gt500 was so sexy i would have got a saleen

i think the saleen is the way to go but it will get expensive, but it just depends what the budget is.

If your budget allows, I say go with option 3 as the Saleen hood is one of the nicest out there along with being a bit less commonplace.

I have the Cervini kit and love it...but it's a pain as a DD. I have to watch everywhere I go and plan beforehand where bumps and hills are. My car is still on stock 17's for another week or 2 and lowered 1 inch with Steeda springs.

If you do it with FRPP springs your going to have to be really careful where you go because your gonna scrape on everything. Everyone forewarned me as well and I still did it. Still glad I went with the kit and would do it again but just passing the heads up to you.

I also think the Saleen kit looks great and love it on your color.

I love Torch Red!

If you are getting rid of the hood scoop in any of your options, I vote for that.
