Once you get the SS hood get some kind of stripe on the scoop or some kinda stripe. Car looks good but kinda plain at the same time..?

An SS hood with a black manta stripe on your car will look badass.

Damn dude that thing looks like a BEAST. How much were those wheels? And yeah i'd take the side moldings off it would look great. I was skeptical on taking mine off at first, but once I did, it looked so clean Sorry to hear about your other car too, what kinda car was it?
