The black front chin spoiler takes away from the "mean" front stance. At first glance in the top picture, I thought you had a V6 front bumper.

I agree the stripes need to come off. I think if you got a different front fascia, or painted your chin spoiler (at least paint the sides, you could leave the center black, like the GT/CS front fascia) I think that would give it a more aggresive look int he front.

Its the colour, sorry to say. Reason #1 I didn't get silver. Sure it doesnt show dust....but its so, uhhhh, feminin.

I'd like to know where you got Brembo's for $1500. Those rotors have tiny holes for Brembo's

The hood needs something.

Custom hood, I think, would solve all your problems!!!

Hood Rally Stripes! A silver car can look aggressive. You either need a more aggressive hood, or stripes to break up all that silver.


This is my friend's car. Looks great in person!

Since you asked, I'll offer my opinion, although it's probably the minority. I think the wheels (large) and tires (low profile) are over-powering the look of the car, making the car itself look smaller. But then again I'm old school. (Your car does look great by the way, and as a owner of a silver GT I like the color choice!)

Here's a suggestion from me. Lose the side stripes get the stripe that has one large stripe down the middle and the two little stripes on the edges of it. Make it black. Next lose the Chrome wheel and go with Black or a Black and polished wheel lip look. The 20's are fine I just think they need to be black. And a aftermarket hood

Just got in from the garage. Stripes are (once again) history, screwed up, in the trash, gone forever. Or until I try something different, which could be anytime [&:]

Put a different hood on it or a hood scoop, Possibly the B-9 Scoop from Cervinis, painted black or a Shaker. I'd try a scoop first, it will be cheaper and easy to take off. Hint B-9.
