Default What would you change about my ride?

I did a post like this on a more local board and was just curious how their comments would compare to the members of a larger board. So, if you could change anything about my ride, what would it be? Let me have it, negative feedback is just as good as positive feedback .... sometimes

i would change the rims and all the blackouts on the car, i really hate blacking things out. and i think i remember you saying you had a hood on the way or something but i would throw maybe a ws6 or ws9 hood on it. but i must say that i really love the color, the accent color, and i like the front facia on the bumper cover

You want honesty?

I like that your car is different, but I've never been a fan of the formula look over the WS6 T/A look. I say a hood and a rear spoiler, but thats just me.

Ditch the side add ons, add a silver bird and Formula on the back center panel, and add some nice exhaust tips, and you're good.
BTW where in Kansas are you and how the hell do you get away with tint that dark ?

Thx for the comments everyone, and yes I wanted honesty. It's your opinion and there isn't anything wrong with that whether we agree on it or not

Yes, I have a raptor hood going on it just waiting for it to get painted.

Definately the raptor hood and do black wheels. Will look really intimidating.

ok i would put on your new hood, get a t/a spoiler, ditch the blackouts, change those bird decals to the gm firebird symbol, change the front airvents by the tires from silver to black, add some formula badges with silver vinyl overlays, remove the door moulding, and finally add some TTII or ccw's. thats just me though.

The moldings are already off, and I just removed the Firebird badges
