I like the stripe actually.


Dare to be different.


Oh and don't do drugs.

Your car is extremely good looking first off.
The fogs might need a little tint, they stick out a little to me.
Those rims are great, I love black rims with machined faces.
A billet grille would look good as someone mentioned before.
Removing the rocker panel stripe gives a cleaner overall look, but if you like it more power to you.

A good wash and wax with some back to black on your rocker panels and rear bumper would really bring together the black and red look. That's the hardest part of doing the black accents is keeping the car clean enough that there is a nice clean contrast.

Yup I said it before and I'll say it again in this thread.

Slap a kick **** flat black stripe job on there!!!

Siggy... those rocker stripes aren't different my friend!
I see them all the time on the sixxers. I mean they are stock on many hehe.
Have you been smoking the devil's lettuce tonight? Hahaha!

If I owned a 2010+ the first mod out of the box for me would be a drop. They look sooooooooo much better when lowered. Rocker panel stripe would have to go, with the black trim around the bottom they look out of place to me. The roush grill would also be a great option for you as well.
To summarize....drop, drop, and drop

The BEST mod for your car is the one thing you can't remove - the damn Jersey front license plate. Lower that thing, quickly! FRPP suspensions are great. They improve the ride, lower the car and still allow it to be drivable on our rotten Northeastern roads.

oh goodness...you have the misfortune of living in PA?! I went to school in Reading (Albright College) so i know just how lousy it is.

I'm afraid to lower it! It seems like such a challenging task -- especially since i know NOTHING about what i need to do it.

cool..thanks for the suggestions. problem is i dont know much about lowering the car and what parts are required to do so. how much would that cost, top to bottom? can you recommend any decent parts?
