What would YOU do to this car?

Guys-

I want to do something to my car.. Not sure what next..

It needs to be subtle but noticeable, if that makes sense...

Something a car enthusiast would notice but maybe not something Joe Blow would notice??

What would you do, besides wash it..

If it were mine.

I would make sure it is clean to perfection. Stuff the biggest front brake system I could afford behind those wheels. Tint, CETA (maybe as it's getting beatin to death) Other than that it looks good, I wouldn't change much on it.

Honestly, nothing, it looks wicked!

EDIT: The more i think about it, I would get some new turn signals (in the bumper) so they look new. Clear corners (looks good on white) and what LS1 Eddie said, get some really nice big brakes

Thanks guys..

It's hard to keep it super clean - as it has to sit out in the weather..

It's tinted - as deep as Alabama will let me go with it..

Not soo sure I like the CETA mod.. I waffle back and forth on it..

I dunno what to do..

Maybe I'll just leave it and put the $$ into some HIDS..

Nickstock - that is the look I was going for..

Good to know I made it..

It's modded enough so someone who KNOWS what they are looking at can notice it, but not everyone.. Unless you stuck it next to a stock TA..

I've thought about going with black Z06 wheels for the "on and off" seasonal type thing..

i love the way it looks now. i'd go darker on the tint, but if you don't want to go darker forget it. HID's look mean but i wouldn't say it NEEDS them. IMO, you could leave it the way it sits now and i'd be very happy. nice car man!

With those foglights in there, maybe make the Bird on the front filler panel blue? Not sure if you want to start a "blue theme" going though, a la 1999 30th TA.

Nah, I thought the 315's were too big.. Didn't wanna BFH anything, etc..

They are F1's in a 285.. Just perfect - if you ask me..

Yea get some 30th blue rims, blue the bird out in the front, and maybe some blackbird stripes to match it..
