So monday I decided to put the rims on the car and the new Blue Emblem on the front and Painted the Calipers Yellow.Yellow is good to use becuase it stands out like Red.
I have done alot to my car over the Winter and I just want summer to come.:) :)

Your car is starting to come along, It really does look good. Im still not sure about that wing tho :/ Anyways i would go with the hood first. How about the SD hood instead?

Wow, looks great, perfect wheels. I think you should do white taillights now.

I really don't like the wing, but if the car was lowered, it would be MUCH better. Man, I hate my car is wrecked for now :(

Nice. Keep the tails tho, I think that flows well.

I'm not big on the wing or the decals on the doors. And as others have said lowering it would look much better. But overall it's looking good. :)

Here's the rundown

1. The wing is managable, and actually, I kind of like it

2. Remove the stickers on the door. You are not sponsored by those companies, so there is no reason to advertise for them, and also, you only have like 3 companies on there, so it looks pretty silly. Especially w/ the apc sticker... that one HAS to go

3. Get the clear corner lights instead of covering up the orange w/ the vinyl

4. get some new lugnuts... nothing looks worse than rust

5. The color of your calipers should be your "second" color. Meaning, you need to decide what color will accent your car. You have a blue arrow, so get them redone in blue, or get your arrow in yellow. Either way, pick one secondary accent color and run with it inside and out

6. suspension should be your number one priority right now for sure. Lowering springs, new shocks & struts will really make the difference

7. I know it's only March, and we still got snow coming (I live like 1.5 hours from ya over in rochester) but you need to keep those wheels clean. When I had white wheels, best product I could find was called Wesley's blech white. Spelled like that. It's at Walmart (prolly kmart too). Comes in a white spray bottle, its a blue liquid. It's meant to get white wall tires clean & white, but also works excellently (yeah, excellently... prolly not even a word... big deal, wanna fight about it? :) ) to keep those wheels white as possible.

8. Not for nothing, but see if you can get some new plates... nothing makes the front look grimy like dirty plates

9. A de-badging could be in order as well, but that's a preference thing... I won't hold it against ya

only thing i disagree with is the wing... if it didnt stick up as high it would look alright, but seeing the car is nothing but curves, and the wing is more boxy...

id also think about bigger brakes to fill up the wheel space some... looks kinda funny with wheels on there trying to maket he car look/be faster, and have stockie brakes showing thru...

yeah I hear ya there, and that's definitely one thing i'm lacking as well, but i'm not about to spend 2500+ on a big brake upgrade for the front and a disc conversion for the rear...

like the others said, drop it, kill the decals, and the yellow. Instead of using caliper paint, try to use old ford light blue engine enamel, will probably match closely to the arrow and is still high temp.
