Default anything else i should do ? 99 S S

Ok here are a few pics of my 99ss,I have been buying parts since I put the car away nov. 1st for the winter, so far I have gotten a cme valance and tip ( I got the tip that looks more like the stock slp one) I didn't reallt like the 3 inch cme tip,ss slp grill,lowering springs,new short atenna,windows will be tinted in spring or if the weather breaks for a few days,I also will have some paint work done on the hood,front clip,and valance. What do you guys think I should do with the hood,I was just gonna do the black decal under the scoop, also I was thinking about a gloss black berger,should I have the side mirrors painted white, just looking for opinions,thanks guys God bless

It's a good looking car Bob. I'm not a big fan of the tips, cause they stick out a bit far. I would lower it too.

I think the tips look fine, I am interested to see the replacement. I prefer the hood being painted white with the mantra/scoop black, with a thin pin stripe along the edge. Im sure either way it will look good. Having the scoop white may help to make it look smaller if thats what your looking to do, have you played around in photoshop with it? Great looking car, hopefully it has the power to back up that hood lol.

wow i really like your car man i wish mine was white.... hmmm i would have the side mirrors painted white aswell so it goes with the flow of the car get me?.. even if you leave those like that it would still look good and would match the color scheme but i would paint them white.

Eh, don't lower it. You've got a real muscular look going on, and I don't want you to ruin it. You didn't see guys lowering their Chevelle back in '71...

Everything on your car looks manly; I think you're done with exterior modifications.
