A hood is a big changer as well as wheels.. Those 2 mods can make or break a car...

pick a theme and go around that. Wheels are always a good starting place!

Buy a meaner looking hood and then paint the whole car tangelo orange.
then buy a new set of wheels ,

you can buy black rims and then paint the outside of the rim (Hoop) tangelo to match the car !

Tangelo is a candied orange paint.
