Default Changing My Cars Apperance

Alright guys im thinking of changing the appearance of my car...This is what it looks like now...The car will eventually be getting a paintjob, i want to COMPPLETELY redo the interior..Change all the interior panels to black ones. Put new black carpeting in..Get new, better racing style seats, 6 point cage etc..However for the exterior im not sure...I definitely am going to go with some new rims..Probably CCW SP500s, with the black spoked and polished center caps and lips. Then im thinking of maybe switching headlights over to the New style black halo headlights, but im not sure yet on those..Maybe do either a sunoco style hood and do the sides of the scoop flat black...But im not sure...just looking for other peoples opinions...Thanks Alot!!

Man, looks good the way it is! CCW's are always a good choice, but only thing I see that I would do is get the holes in the bumper filled. I like stock whistlered lights over the halos. Looks good though.

the black halo's and a sunoco would look sweet on that car imo! and the ccw's to top it off..all the changes you have in mind have my vote. but if not, your car looks great as is!

Add some flat black 98+ style SS stripes! Not the 35th Anniversary stripes, but these

Wheels are the biggest appearence change, I would start there... leave the hood, add the flat black manta stripe/berger, whistler the headlights, and leave it at that!

from the 2nd and 3rd pic it looks like he already has whistlered the headlights.

car looks really good, love the stance, only suggestion i got on top of your ideas would be blacking out the rear corner lights.

imo the stock headlights flow much nicer than the halos with the stock ss hood.. with the sunoco hood might be a different story
