Default New here. Need opinions on my car

this is my daily driver. wanted to see everyones opinion. the color is some green color that the previous owner painted it. its not the mystic paint. i was thinking of painting it black or yellow. if yellow, then it would be a darker yellow than the paint used on the CETAs. anyone want to recommend any mods? the other cars in the pictures are mine too. 87 mustang gt m5, 97 mustang gt m5, 97 camaro

Tomzwheels (a sponsor here) has probably the best prices.

what year is it originally? 94 formula perhaps? From an appearance standpoint, I would start with a good paint redo first. Keep the same color if you want but get a quality paint job, that rear bumper is pretty rough looking. Second, if you want to pass it off as a real T/A, you'll need to change that front bumper and add some side skirts. I personally like the formula front bumper better though.

yeah, the rear bumper and hatch are just spray painted until i decide on a color.
i could just paint the bumper/hatch to match the rest of the car, but i dont know the color code. and i dont really like the color. i was wanting black or a dark yellow so the car will stand out. i plan on getting the front bumper and sideskirts soon.

The paint isn't too bad. If you really want to paint it, I would go with black and not yellow.
A set of rims would set off that paint though.

Leave paint alone. Think the color looks good/unique. Like everyone said, Time for some wheels.

cool. anyone wanna help me guess the color code? (so i can paint the rear bumper/hatch) its got metallic in it. looks similiar to the green used in the mystic teal metallic paint.



what color should i paint the brake calipers if i keep that green color? they're currently red but i dont think it matches.

should i get solid chrome/polished rims or black with a polished lip?

A paint shop would be able to match the color I would think....not positive though.

You should polish your brake calipers and get solid chrome or polished rims. Some EVOs would look nice
