Any ideas ? 03 GT

Go to car shows, check out other people's cars there or on the road or in magazines or on the interweb. See what you like.
I could tell you what to do but then you'd just end up with my car. The only thing that's a definite no-no is sticking Cobra emblems on it or doing anything that some idiot with a Civic would do, like ricey body kits etc. Other than that it's your very own personal blank canvas.
I've had my car for over 9 years, haven't done much in the way of exterior mods besides Mach 1 chin spoiler and grille delete, 03 Cobra wheels and of course dropped. I plan on replacing the front bumper with an 03 Cobra bumper and the spoiler with a Roush 4 post, and the hood probably with an 03 Cobra. I like the Saleen S281 rocker panels but I'm not a big fan of the price. I prefer a "clean" sort of factory look, nothing too flashy. Do what you want though - some will like it and maybe some won't but all that matters is if you do.

I appreciate it. I'm 19 so, I know alot of us younger people like to feed there cars rice. But I want a more clean/mean look . Not a sticker factory hahah. Is the black on the car look okay? And I wanted to put the snake instead of the Pony but your right. I do need to get a grille delete

The black stuff on your car - hood scoop, gas door and wheels; it's not my thing but I get why others like it. Having a few contrasting things like you do I think looks ok but just be careful because I think it's easy to go overboard and have the look get cluttered up or even worse it starts looking like a checkerboard.
If it were my car, the first thing I would do is lose the black wheels. I know I'm in the minority and being 20 years older than you I also qualify as "old and washed up" but to me, wheels are supposed to "pop". Black wheels in my opinion do the exact opposite, they hide. But again, I know I'm a minority on that opinion and instead if it were me asking the question I'd get a lot of responses telling me to lose my chrome wheels. So if you like them and they help get you laid or whatever, keep 'em - and at age 19 that's what a car is for, it's a pu$$y trap; at least mine was haha.

Haha exactly! I kinda regret the gas door. But I'm putting on H&R Springs go to lower it "1.6 Front and "2 back . I also wanna get a grille delete and tint my windows after that I'm done. Possibly change to front bumper sometime in the future. And it's a 2003 with 55,000miles so it better be a magnet for a lot longer

I installed the black honeycomb deck lid from AM. I kept the GT badge and Blue Oval badge. Too me, there was too much red in the rear with the stock tail lights so the black in the deck lid and the black rear valence breaks it up. And yes, a Mach1 Grill Delete makes all the difference and cleans up the front end. And loose the black wheels.
