Default Cosmetics done, now for wheels and performance, looking for Spring project ideas

Well cosmetically she has the looks that I want, only mechanical change was a pair of Corsa Extreme axle backs. Trying to figure out wheels and some minor performance upgrades, any ideas? 2010 Premium GT auto, snake stripes, rocker stripes, tinted fogs, tinted side markers front and rear, color coordinated front pony and tailight trim. Would like tinted lights, but Virginia authorities frown big time on that! Pics follow:

You have done a great job. I love the dash and tailight bezels.

Thanks, thought the dash needed something and I couldn't tint or cover the tailights due to Virginia laws.

Could only find them in chrome, so bought them that way off EBay from www.chromerestyling.com Then I sanded them with a very fine grit and used 3 coats Ford Sterling Gray (UJ) spray paint and then 4 coats Clearcoat to match the car.

Your passengers are going to hate you if you ever get into an accident...

Looks amazing though!

True, but at least when they look in the mirror they'll see the name of the car, how cool i is that? Kidding of course, hopefully it will never come to that. If the airbag deployment works as spec'd the dash splits at that point and the airbag deflects everything up or down with the panel.

I definitely want something a little darker to blend more, but I'm not a fan of all black wheels, they blend too much with the tire. I also like 19s which are limiting, I like some rubber but not too much, may drop to 18s if necessary. I'm prone to the old muscle car look, and was leaning towards Bullit style in black chrome or hypercoat, but haven't found any 19s yet. Tough decision, wheels can make or break a car, that's why I was looking for ideas.

I think your car would look awesome with some 2010 GT500 wheels.

Like these:
