Need Help For Appearance Mods For My Car I am having a little bit of a dilemma. Currently as the car sits I have black overlays on everything and will have to replace some of them because they are starting to come off. I saw a SOM T/A with chrome overlays and I really liked the way it looked compared to the black overlays that I currently have. Other appearance mods that will be done are darker window tint, tails blacked out (maybe tint all lights including fogs, turn signals, side markers?), and RPM 505 rims in either hyper silver face or chrome face (undecided). I have the stripe on the hood for now because a previous owner had a pin stripe on it that made the paint look funny so it is covered up with the black stripes until a repaint down the road. I have made multiple selections as I have several options to go with so just looking for some input.
My car currently
SOM with chrome overlays
RPM 505's with Hypersilver Face (sorry the picture is huge)
RPM 505's with chrome face on red car
Pick 1 if you like it the way it is
Pick an option between 2 or 3
Pick an option between 4 or 5
Pick an option between 6 or 7
Pick an option between 8 or 9
Hopefully it all makes sense

I will be getting the Corsa clones when I do the rest of the exhaust. I also looked into the CETA mod and will probably have that done when the rest of the car gets painted.

Go with some emblem pro's letters. You can't go wrong with them. I have the stailness steel one's with the etched centers. They also have them in black stainless. Or you could go with one of their other rear letters acrylic or composite. You can't go wrong with either black or chrome. I personally like chrome/silver on SOM.

I just yanked exhaust off the other day and slapped on a Loudmouth 1 and some 4" Corsa Clones. I honestly thought I loved my car before... But damn, I can't even walk by the window without looking at it haha
Also, I know they are slightly crooked. I wanted to send it through a few heat cycles and let it settle to make any final adjustments!
www.ssclones.com has them for a pretty damn good price, just a heads up

^ Completely agree with Skraight, do whatever puts a smile on your face. There will always be someone that won't like whatever you do, so do what you want. A lot of people hate my car, but I get compliments all the time and the car looks great for me. Whatever you do I'm sure someone will compliment it. My personal input, I think the chrome wheels on your car look sick. Blacking out the wheels is so common now, well around here anyway. Either way enjoy what you do to it.

What about either removing your window tint or go a bit darker (if legal)? It's kinda hard to tell but the current tint looks purple-ish to me. Beautiful car though!

Thanks for the info and imput everyone. I think the tint that is on there now was a home job that wasn't done really well. I am really leaning towards the chrome overlays. Couldnt agreee more that it is whatever I think looks good at the end of the day. I might try to see if I can get some photoshops done so I can see how it all looks together.
