What do you think of this idea?

Okay okay, so it's still another 6 months until I get my car (or even my license), but since I have tons of performance mods completely figured out, why not think about the cosmetic aspect as well?

What I have planned so far is to go with black paint (whether factory or not) along with Boyd Coddington Smoothie chrome wheels (I personally prefer the center of 'em to Torq Thrusts) and the American Sports Car Design SS hood. To add a bit more flair, I was thinking of going with either silver racing stripes or blue ghost-ish flames - not a solid blue so that they really stand out, but outlined and shaded in a metallic blue so that they are visible from a distance. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

I like the way the it sounds so far. I would go with the flames instead the of the stripes, but hey, I never have really liked racing stripes. Just Me I Guess.

Sounds good, I'd go with the ghost flames. You could also lower it and tint the windows, that would look good.

Yeah, it will be lowered a bit because I plan on getting Bilstein Sports with an Eibach Pro-Kit...I hadn't thought of tint before, but I think it'd be an awesome addition.

Thanks guys!
