Default What do I need?

Ok guys, Heres my problem I have some extra money to spend on my stang for appearence purposes , what does it need, im just getting a little bored with the way it looks right now and want to add something but i dont know what. Im seriously thinking into new rims but am hesitant because i want to find the perfect fit. I dont like the frog look when they stick out too far , and i dont know if im going to be able to get that going with deep dish.

So any suggestions on wheels or things i can do would be helpful im just looking for idea. Thats what you guys are here for and i trust your opinions.

I personally want to keep a "clean" looking car i dont want to junk it up with a lot of heavy mods just want some tasteful accents .

Thanks!!

Side louvers= overdone

I have yet to see another 'stang with rear louvers in person though
But some people hate those, so I won't force them on you

No offense taken. I realize when most people say louvers, they're thinking of the side louvers

and Dwisforme05, you should get the aluminum Astra-Hammonds. IMO they fit with the lines of the car better

I got my aluminum Astra-Hammonds on Amazon.com for $225

the Asra-Hammonds have seven "slats", while the MRT's/ Visus have six "slats": this make the MRT's/Visus lager and stick out more (both are aluminum from what I understand)

also, the styling on the Astra-Hammonds is similar to the s197's "squircles" (Ford's word for "square circles"), while the MRT's/Visus stlye looks like it matches the style of the mid-90's 'stangs (IMO)

The MRT's/Visus are hinged, and the Astra-Hammonds are not (you can take your 'stang through the car wash by taking off the Astras, with the MRT's you are forced to wash your car by hand)

also, I think the MRT's/Visus are $350-$400

those are the differences I know of

Clear corners. And perhaps painted mirrors.

I think the CDC billet grille would look killer on your white car. I have the black billet on mine and it is a verywell donepiece and looks great without the running horse emblem. http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com...splay/699.html Here's a picture of mine. -Andrew
