Grill Delete- eh, maybe- too many use it
Chin spoiler- definitely!
Rear blackout panel- yes!
Tinted Taillights- HECK NO! (dangerous in my opinion)
Wheel Spacers- I don't recommend them, but they can be used to make things fit

Do you have the stock 17x8 rims? If so i wouldn't do wheel adapters. When i had my stockers, i bought some 1 in. hubcentric wheel adapters. To be honest, they just didn't look right...just weird in fact. It just looked strange to have the skinny stock tires pushed way out like that. It's like there wasn't enough tire towards the inside of the car now.

If i were you i'd get some 1/4 in. slip on spacers (they're really cheap) throw those on for now, then get different rims later. That's what i did afterwards, and i'm glad i did.

That's just my opinion though!

I have shelby torque thrust in 17x9 on back with 275/40/17 is that big enough to not look weird I just want it out flush with the fender I think it will make it look lower since the h&r sports didn't lower it as much as I woulda liked.

Well at one point i had 17x8 in the front, and 17x9 in the rear, and i ran a 1/4 inch slip on spacer. It looked proportionate. With these, the 275's didn't have that odd "spaced to far for the size of the tire" look.

I'm not sure how a 1 or 1.25 inch adapter would look with a 17x9. I imagine it would be really close to rubbing the fenders, but i don't know for sure.

I might just have to try it out and see I'm sure I could always just sell them if I don't like it. I eventually would like to just move the 9's to the front and get some 10.5's for the back but can't afford it right now. I don't think I could fit any wider tire on a 9 inch rim so ill just try the spacers till I can get a wider wheel. Are 275's even gonna get traction if I get 4.10's anyways?
