Default What would you change? On the Purpmobile....

Guys-

Looking for some solid feedback here. This fall w/ be bringing me cams and some appearance mods. What would you do, APPEARANCE WISE ONLY, to the purp mobile if it were yours? I'm talking about bumper, hood, sideskirts, sidescoops, spoiler and trunk emblems/mustang bumper lettering.
Thanks for the feedback!! All is welcome. Please no trolling.

Here are the non-negotiables - window tint (may even go darker) and saleen wheels.

Hmm...i don't know your car looks pretty clean right now. I like that. Maybe some smoked tail light tint. I cant' tell but do you have a grill delete? If not that would look good too.

I know you said appearance only but if it were me, i'd concentrate 90% of my finances towards the power, and some suspension work.

I'd black out the emblems, get rid of the spoiler, maybe delete the side scoops. Maybe some wheel spacers out the back. Have you thought about getting different tips?

Maybe some smoked tail lights to go w/ the headlights (not crazy dark). And maybe try a spoiler delete andsee how you like that!

Do you have a grill delete??

Do you think the smoked taillights would look good with the sonic blue/chrome theme? That is something I've been debating for quite a while....

The things I've been considering have been:
01 cobra bumper
SOLDIERGT's hood
sidescoop delete
03cobra sideskirts


For the front end I currently have Mach1 grille delete and Mach1 chin spoiler.

See i think SMOKED tails would look good...not BLACKED OUT.

But A 01 cobra bumper is my DREAM! and that hood would be sick too man...i mean w/e you can afford i say do it. I think you have a good idea of what looks kicka** on these cars.

But new tips would be nice (think you're going w/ a new catback soon anyways but just sayin)

Debating selling my bassani catback...but I'm going to wait until my LT's are installed and see how I like it. If I like how they sound, I'll throw some new tips on, if not I'm going with SSS Terminators.

The chrome bumper inserts and badges would stay...they go nicely with the wheels.

It looks good the way it is now. I wouldn't change anything...well, maybe add chrome exhaust tips. That's it.

Yeah Rob i agree with CP get some SMOKED tail lights not blacked out ones. But the list u have above sounds awesome everything will look really good in sonic blue. Maybe get some chrome exhaust tips. And going with darker tint would look really nice too.
