Default penguined out bird?
outside - front white bird, ram air, deleted door badges, soon to delete rub strips on doors, back end whited out, blacked out top and sides of 3rd brake light, not certain on pinstrip yet... thoughts?

inside - white lthr wheel cover, white door locks (nasty crooked orange stickers gone), coming: white gauge faces, white lthr shift boot and e-brake boot,

trying not to do too much, i like a simple, clean look that doesnt scream... suggestions?

Not really diggin' the steering wheel cover. You should do blackbird stripes or ram air stripes instead of pinstripes.

Do you have Sirius or XM radio? i see the cables i think
