Default What direction to go with my car?

Well you can see my car in sig. The hood has a few dings in it and I'd really like to replace it with something more stylish anyways. I want my car to have a sleek look, blackouts on headlights, tail lights, fog lights, blacked out side markers, etc.

What I'm really thinking about right now is getting a Harwood cowl and a SS spoiler. I think that would look downright mean. Does anyone have pics of this combo?

If it doesn't look right I may go for a SS hood and SS spoiler, or maybe a harwood and leave the spoiler.

Stay away from three piece spoilers, they look like ****, especially the stock RS style one.

sunoco hood and the lt1 ss spoiler........DROOL. It will be aggressive, and won't look like you are trying to copy an ls1 car or going overkill on the hood.

There's the hood I'm wanting. Anyone else have opinions?

i agree with mostly everyone on here, but since you asked for what to do to your car heres my list! 98+ SS spoiler, Sunoco styled hood from vfn, berger panel (gloss black), stainless badges all the way around, from dragonz28, CME (if you can find it) and I would drop the rims also, get some TTII's, C5 Z06, or Zr1's, they will look 1 million times better! Also dont do the blackouts, they make the fronts of lt1's look like turd city. you also have to glue stupid hinges on to your bumper which in my book is a NO GO. thats about it hehe
