the stripes arent bad but it needs bigger wheels like a 17 or 18...and do some clear side marker lights and some chrome emblems on the side to give it a clean appearance without over doing it

New wheels like others have said would be good and the front plate filler. Is your driver's side seat different color then the passenger? Also a new driver's side tail light. Looks like yours is darkened like mine was due to water seepage.

Not a fan of the hood stripes. A different color perhaps?
