Default Buying new 2011 GT Premium: Want Aggressive Look

I don't even know where to begin. Things I would love to do are:

Some combination or solid color using red, white, and/or black with red leather /accented interior. 20" Alcoa Wheels, Tru-Fiber Venom Hood, and if it's possible... GT500 front end.


Any opinions/ideas? I'm not even sure what kind of work would need to be done or even if the 2011 body style has changed much at all from the previous year.

Thanks everyone.

I don't think it's changed at all.

No stripes, CDC chin, spoiler delete, black/polished lip 5 spokes, 315s in the rear.

Everything else you buy for the car should be shaving tenths.

Well Mid 4 second 0-60 is fast enough for me .. for now. Looks are more important to me. Was thinking race red, venom hood, side/window scoops, similar spoiler to below, and stripes to match this:



I can't think of anything that is better than this.

Buy a GT500, while I admire all who have adapted the Super Snake look, they're not the real thing(no matter how fast their cars may be). I think a 2011 GT with the Brembo pkg, with those kick-*** 19" wheels in Kona blue looks pretty sick(just needs to be lowered to be perfect IMO). Changing a car's personalty, by changing it's original design is cheesy IMO. Okay, got my flame suit on, let's hear why I'm full of it....................

You're not full of it you are entitled to your own opinion. HOWEVER, I decided to make my car look like a Supersnake because I'm tired of losing thousands of dollars on high priced cars when I sell them. I lost 18 thousand dollars in fourteen months on my last eighty thousand dollar car purchase and I'm never doing that again. My car pictured below cost one third the price of a real S/S. So I took the remaining money and bought a second home which is an appreciating asset instead of a depreciating asset.

it's also a hell of a lot slower

there are thousands of combinations of appearance mods out there.. personally, I dislike mimicking other stock cars.

Ever notice how 95% of the pics out there of the 2010+ body style are of something OTHER than the rear...??? Just an observation..

As stated, I admire those who make their car theirs and your car looks amazing! Everyone has lots of $ invested in their cars(regardless of how many, or little mods). You have your reasons and you need not justify to us, it's your hard earned $ and your taste that matters and I respect that. Just not my cup of tea, cheers

I love the way the SS looks, but I don't want to ever go to a drag strip or race anybody on the street. If I did I would just buy a SS ... but I can think of a dozen other ways to spend the money better at my age (18), and they are all in investments.

I've decided I want to change the wheels to Alcoa's, get a SS Hood, and possibly change the front end... havent decided on the color though. Thanks for the opinions everyone.

Does anyone know where I can get a kit to change the front end to a GT500? I won't be using the cobra badges though.... I'm no copy-cat. I'll be keeping the 5.0 badge.
