What appereance Mods for a SOM SS ?

Looking for input on wheels and perhaps some paint accents. Tried the search option, but came in with little info. Post pics of your mods.
Leaning towards some ccw wheels, but open to suggestions.
Car is a 2002 SOM SS, hardtop with a six speed and ebony interior. Is this consider a rare car?
Thanks in Advance

Som

Berger panel and some 15-20% tint would be a great start

Thanks man! Can't remember how much the kit is, but i'm sure several sponsors on this site offer it. I have the 1" BMR Springs with Strano Revalved Bilstiens and love them. Prokit is just springs. You need shocks too. If you can afford it, do Koni shocks, or if those are too much, do Strano's.

Don't do berger, SOM is too nice for it. Some polished aluminum wheels (fikse style, ccw, zr1's, etc), stainless inserts and SS badges, and lower it. Done. The perfect car.

I would def put 20% tint on it. Tint really compliments SOM. Best thing to do is go on either Fquick or Cardomain and save the pictures of cars you like.

hmm i wonder how black hockey stripes and some other black accents on an SOM would look. Never seen that done before. I have seen gunmetal rims w/ a flat back berger panel on an SOM. It didn't look bad
