Default Thoughts on upcoming mods to my 2011 GT?

I just recently purchased a Roush front fascia for my car. It was a take off part and I also got the front splitter, side splitters and rear valance. When they arrived they weren't in as good of a condition as I would have liked. So, I'm going to have the front repainted, sides painted and the rear valance painted. Here are some pics of a custom job done by GAS in California that I really liked. My car is grabber blue... I'd start with getting those bottom pieces painted and then maybe get that cool side stripe done. Maybe something in the future for the hood. I'll probably get the side stripe in flat/matte black. Thoughts?




I actually really like the rear like this matching the body color but also having some black in there to break it up a little.

Default Also...

Also, thoughts on whether you think the splitters in front and on the sides would look better painted black or keep them the same color as the body?

Anybody good with Photoshop? I'd like to see the car in this pic in grabber blue with that side stripe.

Thanks!

I like the front end, but not the stripes or anything else.
If you want Boss stripes, get ones like I have. They are more accurate.

im not a fan myself of everythign painted body colro on these cars, it makes them look very thick. Alos all that car is is a roush body kit with all the parts painted body color. All of that is stright roush parts with soem paint and an gt hood with the appearance scoops.

I definitely do not like the side splitters or front splitter being painted. In addition i think the Roush Rear-valance looks better black.
