Couldn't have said it better. Cai/Tuner is always a good place to start this journey...I would also agree with the rear blackout panel. Side mirror covers would also look good with the red. Nice ride, congrad's

So now I have a problem.

I've talked myself into rear quarter louvers as a starting point. The problem is that I have conflicting goals. I'm not so sure I want to put 3M tape against painted surface so that I have a nice paint marred area if I ever need to take the louvers off. However, the Roush and American Muscle variant are the only two that really appeal to me.


HELP

If you put them on right you shouldn't have any paint issues.
The 3M is suppose to cushion the louver from the paint.
And if its taped down right it shouldn't move at all, so their won't be any damage to the paint.

Hmm. I stand corrected then. I was just assuming that after a while, the removal of the 3m tape would pull up some clearcoat

It might pull up some clear coat, I can't say for sure because I haven't taken mine off.
There are a few that attach to the window or the SHR louvers that replace the 1/4 windows, so there is no damage... just not 1/4 windows.

There are a lot of options just take your time picking them out and you will find one that you are happy with.

I've pulled my louvers off a couple times. No paint marring left from the 3M tape. Maybe some clear came with it, but I couldn't tell at all.

about the hood, the trufiber GTS-IV hood really works well with the CS front end. I love my trufiber RTF hood, looks really good with our front end!

**********UPDATE***********

Since the last post, I've installed Cherry Bomb Extreme mufflers <-- wowowow
I've also replaced the fishing rod with a 14" antenna, added a blackout panel, and bought a replacement 12v cover that was missing when bought.

I like the hood that you asked about BUT I like the Shelby CS6 hood MUCH better.
MANY people have the hood you have and it's good looking.

But not many people have the CS6 hood and I personally think it looks AMAZING.
