Default Decisions, Decisions, Decisions???

So here is my dilemma. I'm not sure yet if I want to have the centers on my wheels powdercoated black. In the meantime I'm wondering if I should replace the black side vents and hood vents with polished ones from dragonz28 to better flow with the car. Additionally, should I hold off on doing the black CETA mod until I decide to do the wheels black or just do it now.

Here is how she sits now.

Looks good how is and do the ceta to compliment your sidemarkers.

Are you running spacers in the rear?

No spacers in the rear. I'am running a 1/4 spacer in the front though. The hub of the wheel was rubbing the caliper bracket a bit. I could grind the bracket probably but figured I could just run the spacers since I have the longer studs up front. The guy I got them from was running them on his C4 Vette so I guess the offset is a little off in the front.

i think if you do the ceta black then that will set off the side vents and ram air grills pretty nice. just my two cents anyways! you car looks really good btw!
