Exclamation Help! Need serious help with appearance!

http://www.cardomain.com/id/cmkworm
Hey, I need some help! I'm thinking of repainting my car and I need some ideas. Should I leave it red or not? Should I add ghost flames, stripes, hockey sticks, etc? Hood, spoiler? I also thought about shaving the handles and antenna. What do you think? I would appreciate all the help I can get! Go ahead and check out my site! The bottom pics are current!

I remember seeing your car in tulsa, looks awesome! i think black hockey sticks would look sweet with maybe like a 400hp decal in the stripe on the fender or whatever your rating is.im not for the shave handles on a new car unlees everything else is done that could possibly be done. as for your antenna i just cut mine to about 14", rounded off the tip and put a coat of black on it. i would also think about a grille. have you seen the one on the berger camaro that looks kinda eggshelled like the 69's? good luck!

Nice car. If your going to repaint I would say go black maybe some white racing stripes. That and an SS hood or something would look pretty sweet. Just my .02. Good Luck.

I would go with a Ultra Z hood, SS spolier and loose the blackouts.

Leave it red. Red is awesome, and for that money you could get some awesome mods for it! Get a Z-style hood, and call it a day.

Ok, I'm thinking of leaving it red and maybe adding an ultra z or ss hood and spoiler. I'm gonna do the headlight mod today and maybe clear corners. What grille do you like? Vintage? What about tail lights?

Just leave the taillights, unless you can find a set of exports ($$$).

As far as the grill, I think an SLP grill insert painted to match the car would be nice- and unique.
