Default Need a next appearance mod suggestion!

So I'm thinking about the next mod and what I want to re-do is do my front end all at once. Clear turn signals, clear side markers, tinted fogs, and the billet grille with the hidden fog lights from DG custom.

Do you all think this is the right move to make? Or is there something else more pressing that I should address?

And just for funsies, here's a walk around I've been wanting to do for a while now. Maybe it'll help you come up with some options. Open to anything but neon!

Sounds like a good idea to me, Mad.

I am a little more of a "bling" lover. Go chrome and clear! I love the look on Vista blue. I have removed the rocker stickers since the pics, just gotta get my chin spoiler painted and put on.

If you like the clear turns that is fine, personally I like the tinted version, but to each his own. Other than that I would recommend going to Agent 47 mirrors, rather than just the mirror caps. you can also paint the calipers, get side scoops,etc.

Thanks Tanner and Hotwheel. I don't know, I guess I'll have to try to get it chopped in there to see which grille looks better. I loved my previous billet grille but I'm still not sure which would look better...

The only reason why I would go with the clears is because I don't think the tinted lights would look good on the silver on blue set up I have right now... Believe me, I love the tinted corners a lot better. Those agent 47s look like they go for 220 a pair unpainted... kind of steep. Painted calipers ain't a bad idea though...

I'm not really a fan of clear turn signals, IMHO I think they stand out way too much with a blue car.
I think it would look good with tinted turns even if you do go with a lighter colored grille.

Tinted turn signals would look really good with your front chin spoiler! If you decide to tint the turn signals, you may want to tint the tail lights as well. I love your cowl hood, looks really aggressive! Have you thought about lowering the Stang?

If you're going with a black grille, I say tint 'em, if you go chrome grille, go with the clears. Seems like you like the chrome/silver look. Old grill-chrome, wheels-silver, stripes-silver. Just noticing a little pattern! Not saying you can't change it up a little though.

I can see what you're talking about tanner and kevin, it would sort of distract from the other aspects of the car... whereas the tinted would look better than the orange... However, if I'm going to tint the turns and the fogs, would tinting the rest of the lights look good? Would the tinted tails and side markers be too much? Clashing with the silver and blue? I'm heading over to the chop shop now haha
