Woah looks pretty darn customized already! Maybe time to get some aftermarket rims...or your existing ones powdercoated blue might look good, kinda go for the CE effect. As for your engine bay...the red is nice, but doesn't seam to match anything else on your car. I'd say paint the FRC's blue and get your STB blue or chrome. Swap out the red wire loom for black too! Besides that...I think you car is very unique.

You could powder coat some chorme Z06 Wheels anodized blue. Maybe do the same to the exhaust tips, but that may be a little much. and get the vents in the fenders painted metallic blue. If their not already its kinda hard to see. As far as the red stuff goes it would look alot better with that stuff blue, but hey its your ride shich by the way looks bad ***

oh, and a polished ATi would look good under there too!

I think the most dramatic and best mod you can do to that car would be to mail me the keys.

Seriously, looks great.

Rims/new stance will change your car into something completley different

Things to consider:

-I agree on the ridding the engine bay of red.
-Get a more aggressive stance
-Different wheels-hp evos with blue centers?
-Short throw shifter
-Key hole covers painted white
-And maybe hand paint the back bird like the front one to bring the blue down the backside of the car more
-If you wanted to be really unique color match the area surrounding the tips(lower back bumper) to the stripes-paint it blue

Thanks for all the compliments. I have a feeling the car show competition is going to be fierce in the STL this year... I am definately looking into maybe lowering it an inch, putting 18" wheels on it, and maybe some new embroidery in the car. Do you guys think that white leather inserts in the seats would be nice looking? I was also considering doing white leather door panels where it is Charcoal grey now.
