I like the xenon side scoops myself. Not too sure about stripes. If you get them they would have to be black.

I dont like red cars ussualy but yours looks nice with the red/black.

I also vote to lower it. Its pretty easy to do. Just need basic hand tools like a few sockets, wrenches, and you will need a spring compressor that can be rented from Autozone for free

Hmm alright Ill start lookin up the prokit springs.

I think I will go with the xenon scoops here in the near future I think they would look the best!

If you're going to lower the car, then you should really look into an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the axle and adjustable upper or lower control arms to make sure the pinion angle is OK. You obviously will need new shocks.

Honestly, I can take or leave the lowered look on these cars. It made quite a difference in the last model, but on the S197, I can go either way. I think big rubber with a small wheel looks fine on these cars, probably because it's a retro car.

I feel the same way. I like it either way. It sounds like just shocks is a bad idea and I do not really want to redo all the suspension at this point in time..I was contemplating it if it was just the springs, but if it all needs to be done, ill just wait on it.
