not exactly digging those kinds of spoilers... almost looks ricerish along with the side ground fx
that ss hood is a little extreme and may need more red to pull it off

hmmm u think? i dont think the side skirts or the spoiler make it look ricer, it has more gfx on the front and back bumpers but i had them take off when i painted the front and back bumpers along with, hood and both front fenders(the whole car was not painted)

well IMO I think the car looks really nice. I would change a few things myself, but its what you like that matters.

IMO either put the front and rear ground effect on the car the complete it. or remove the sides. I would shorten the exhaust tips just a little. Paint the door handles and side mirrors silver. Also you might spray or have chromed the grill in the hood. That red and red there isn't working IMO. You can get some metalcast spray paint and spray it with that then clear and it would look great.

Good luck!!

Add an "SS" rear spoiler and swap the exhaust tips for something else.

I love the rims, and the paint. For some reason, a few of the front clip shots look abnormally firebird-ish to me, I think it's the hood. Either way, nice looking car.. I'd get the rest of the gfx on, i like the spoiler. The tips, they're right... take your car to an exhaust shop and ask them to put them in a little... shouldn't be more than $30.
