Default Appearance Mods, What would make my car look good?

Well, my car's appearance has been the same now for a while. Although the headlights look good in the pics they are very hazy, and need to be replaced.

GIVE ME YOUR OPINIONS!!!!

1) Manta design hood decal or paint, carried into the deck lid/spoiler.
2) Definitely drop.
3) Body color mirrors. ( I don't like the way the mirror pofile changes colors from the fender to the mirror.)
4) !molding.
5) SLP Grill. (Painted to match body color.)

The one thing about lowering the car is that I have tsp trueduals. They have lousy ground clearance.

So as of now I'm thinking:

Pewter mirrors
Some sort of grill (opinions wanted!!!)
Clear corners (should I get clear or black housing?)
Headlights (OEM new, Better Whistler, or Halos?)

there is nothing wrong with the car.
you only need some new wheels either chrome 2002 SS wheels or RPM R-505 and your car will be badass

new wheels, lower an 1" or no more than 1.5", a really dark tint would look good (just depends on preference though), and what about painting the scoop part of the hood black?

The only thing I can think of not mentioned is the whistler mod after you get new head lights. There is a sticky at the top that tells how to do the whistler mod, and how to get rid of the hazy lights (save you a lot of money). Would be best to do both at once

I've done the whistler mod on my headlights. I also have tried to clean them up. They didn't turn out too well as far as the haziness goes. The only thing about getting a grill that gets me is being able to see the pewter behind it. Does anyone have any directly front shots of that car above?

Either black halos or PCP whistler lights
black housing corners

flat black grille
!molding


Keep it simple, your car looks good already. Things I've mentioned above will enhance the appearance more by just doing small things.
