You MUST change your side stripes to match.

Gloss on the side and flat on the hood just makes no sense.
Once you do that you will be looking good!

i figured some people would be hatin on my hood only choice , but the old boss/mach mustangs only had the hood and it didn't look weird...




maybe some boss style side stripes or when i paint my spoiler would help offset the oddness and make it flow better.

anywho, for the wheels, i'm planning on 18x9 all the way around (i.e. the ones from cruzin concepts )

The hood only looks good when you have a black rear spoiler and black side stripes like you do. Do you have rear louvers in mind? That would really help complete the look

i've thought about rear louvers, but i'm not really a big fan of them on an s197; they look like they make it hard to see out of

but a black spoiler is in the near future

Oh I forgot that was a photoshop lol, yeah that black spoiler will be nice. As far as visibility with the louvers I hear its actually nearly unaffected, there are pics around here proving it. It just ends up looking like the lines of your rear defroster have thickened up.

Nice. Is it a stock GT spoiler painted black or some other style?
