Looks good for the amount of miles on it, thought about maybe putting on some blackbird stripes?? and tint those windows.

Great lookin car for the mileage man!! I agree on the blackbird stripes and the the tint, but also will suggest putting the black overlay on the firechicken on the front LP cover, clay barring it, and some zaino to get the red to pop even more before doing the stripes. Other than that I like it how it sits.

That has to be one of the best looking high mileage 4th gens I've seen. I will definitely look up to your car!!

As for looks IMO I think you're there already. You could add the accent sripes that run alongside the ws6 hood (I think its a tasteful addition). Other than that, why change perfection???
