Oh, and i have some lowering springs i hope to get put on tomorrow along with my new brakes and shocks, ordered the cross drilled baer rotors just for looks and i have some MGW red caliper covers to throw a bit of color in the mix. I plan to pain the center of the hood black like Pascals when I get the Xenon aggressive body kit installed next month.

Man, that looks great!! I need to call my painter ASAP!!
Is it just me or does the front/lower lip sit lower than the fenders? Is your hood flush with the top edge of the fenders as it almost looks like the hood bumpers need to be raised. Also curious if youyr hood came painted on both sides or was the under side just primered?

I assumed it was just a couple adjustments.
The more I look at yours now, the more the GT rear spoiler looks out of place... especially with that clean hood. Am sure that Foose ducktail will really clean up the look.
Have you thought about painting the A47 mirror cups body color??

Yeah i almost ordered them pre painted. But with the black and silver colro scheme i just went black. the greenhouse part of the car is all black with my top so I just went with black. I really like those mirrors too. the spoiler is on teh car now with 3M? tape. I woudl have fired my assistant installing the spoiler, but she woudl take half my stuff. the gpas aren't righ ton teh back so i am going to have teh body shop fix it when I get the body kit done.

I can see your point on not painting the cups. Even with my Alloy, I plan to have the cups painted just to make it subtle. And as with you, I have been considering some type of contrasting color on the hood like maybe in Vapor Silver (either like Pascal's or maybe just on the top of the raised arrow). Part of me just wants to keep things low key and one color, but it might also be nice to get a little contrast going.
So where are those pics with the spoiler installed??? Even though they might be a bit "mis-aligned"...
