Default Need Input - Exterior Mod Suggestions

I have about two grande that I want to spend on mods. I'm thinking mostly exterior appearance mods. Here are some ideas.

1. GT front grille (so I can install the GT style fog lights and putting HID bulbs in them; I already have the lower fog lights, but the more lights the better in my opinion).

2. Side Scoops?

3. CDC Lightbar?

Other than that I can't think of much.

Suggestions?

I personally think your car would look better with the v6 style fog-lights. Light-bar is another kewl option.

how are the stripes going??

I already have the V6 fog lights, but was thinking of adding the others as well. Too much you think?

As far as the stripes go, I'm getting sick of waiting on my "stripe guy" and am thinking about just having the dealer do it.

I like the pony grille you already have.

Did you decide on dual stripes or supersnake style?

I'm going with the Supersnake style. I don't see many 2010's with that style. I do like both styles though.

Change ten..... I am now going with the dual stripes. I ordered them from Graphic Express and should have them soon. I also ordered some side "C" stripes that I think will look pretty cool. Here's a pic (mine's white though and will have silver stripes, but you get the idea). Also, the hood stripes I ordered will come all the way down underneath the front bumper.

Alright, stripes are going on tomorrow and I'll have my car back Friday. I'll post pics when it's done.

I've decided to order to GT style grille with the big ol' fog lights (I already have the fog lights in my bumper so this will be six lights total).

Currently, my headlights and fog lights (in the bumper) are the 5000k (very bright white) version HIDs, so I'm going to put the 3000k (yellow) HIDs into the new GT style fog lights. I think it'll look pretty sweet.

Still need some other suggestions (side scoops, etc.).

Thanks!

It's done and waiting for me to go pick it up after work. The installer emailed me some pics, but I want to take some better ones before I post them. It turned out really good.
