Default Suggest appearance mods for my WS6!

What kind of mods do you suggest for my WS6 while still keeping it as close to original as possible? Wheels? Tires? etc.

It looks great as is. If anything, get some new wheels.

i dunno, i've always liked the look of the raised spoiler more than the more flat one you have... i think it's be hot with some black wheels and some black stripes...

but it looks damn good like it is now.. just rock the sunset orange!

Put a set of springs on it, that will do it.

I agree. Don't touch it. Your car is rare. Price is going to go up on it and it is better to leave it all original.

I like the way your car looks now. If you just wanted to do somehting small and cheap you could always get the rear turn signal markers from a Camaro, which are red, and use them in place of your yellow ones up front. You could also remove the side moulding, which is free. Unless you plan on never driving your car and trying to sell it for a profit it 10 years, screw keeping it original. It's your car, do whatever you want and don't worry how it will effect resale value.

18 inch FM5's all the way. With it being a vert in that pic it looks a lot bigger (longer) and I think it would bennifit from a bigger wheel.

The reason it is a flat spoiler is 'cause it's a convertable. You can't have the raised T/A spoiler with a convertable...

Thanks for all the ideas. Anyone have some good pics of a lowered WS6 vert w/non-stock wheels? And if it's out there, anyone have all that on an SOM.

black is way to overplayed right now. Fikse FM-5's or FM-10's and don't piant them. I would do FM-10's

There are a lot of appearance mods that you could do that wouldn't de-value the car in any way. There are all easily taken off if needed:

Custom Fuel Rail Covers: See Afterthoughts Auto for that
Battery/Fuse covers
Braided lines
Billet fluid caps

etc. etc.

Car is amazing, if you choose to keep it stock awsome. If not, I'd suggest considering painting your lower valence maybe a gunmetal or even black. It looks ridiculous on that color. Definatly some wheels and a drop would look real good.
