I would like painted but do to cost I think they are out of the question I don't wanna have to spend a large sum of money on stripes

yeah I like that color I'll have to check around some of my local shops to see what prices I can get on paint jobs or vinals

I'd take the stripes to someone professional and have them install the stripes.

yeah that's probably a good idea. But what about the rear black out yes or no with the vapor color and strips and as for hood scoop whats a good one at a good price?

Vapor rocks! Especially on a vert with a black top. Love the car. Get new rims. If stripes (I have them on my coupe), don't do the scoop with vinyl. Most people have bunching of the stripes under the scoop over time. It is annoying.

If you don't have the money for painted stripes, don't do it. Just save up. Do the job right, once, and don't half *** it.

ok well to get stripes painted on mine about how much would I be looking at? and still wondering what would be the best choice in hood scoops?

I personally like the factory hood scoop the most. It's around $250. The next best option in my opinion is the Roush which is around $150, I believe. Getting stripes painted on is going to vary among shops greatly. I'd expect it to be around $1,000.

ok yeah I was thinking the factory one too because I like the look and it just seems like a pretty stable scoop. But as for paying a 1000 for painted stripes I think I'll get some qoutes before making a choice on that. Now for a chin spoiler I really like the one that mandoq posted but my question with that is will it be flush with the rest of the car being stock or would I have to get side skirts to get an even hight all around?
