Default Need Red Candy Exterior ideas

I own a 2010 Gt, Red Candy Metallic. I havent seen a great deal of photos posted here showing how people have modded the exterior of their cars. I am interested in stripes/decal photos to determine what colors compliment the Red Candy. Also, I am interested in the Black Chrome rims but also think that matte black may look good. If anyone has any photos available, I would love to see them.

I would eventually like to tint my windows, add window scoops, GT500 rear valance and possible the Steeda lowering springs.

I've seen quite a few pics of Candy mustangs with both black and white stripping. Both work pretty well but if you are going to put black wheels on it (which also don't look too bad) I definitely wouldn't put white stripes on it. Keep searching around the forum, there are pics out there.

no springs as of yet. Im getting 3:73 gears installed tomorrow finally (ive had them in my garage since November) and than im getting the GT500 installed. My local ford dealer quoted me $150 plus tax which I thought was a pretty sweet deal.

now that its nearly 100 degrees here in NC, i need to get the windows tinted. Got a quote of $160 with 20% tint. claims a 1 year warranty. never had windows tinted before so ill assume this is a decent price as well.

How about a black decklid panel? http://www.americanmuscle.com/decklid-panel.html As a fellow Red Candy owner I always felt between the Red Candy car color and the red tail lights we had a "lot of red" on the back of the car that needed something to break it up. The panel is a nice dress up item and the black goes well with the red. Check out the pics in the link the American Muscle site.

i couldnt agree more. I bought one of those not to long ago and really like the looks of it. I should post a photo. the one I have is the magnetic kind but I will likely upgrade to a more permanant piece as time and money allow.

check my sig, and then search some of my posts. I have some pics of mine floating around. I would try to dig them up for you, but we are getting some really crappy weather in the midwest, and my internet is working about as fast as the government does on passing bills that benefit the people (which is what, about 10 years per bill on average?)
