Alright people, imagine this....

I wanna take the idea from, who was it... 89WarBird, but sorta apply a different idea to my car. Instead of doing the same colors he did, i'm gonna eventually switch hoods and rear Spoilers. Would it look cool for my car to stay Platinum, and get the ram air hood scoups stripped black, and then spoiler stripped balck also??????

Hers a few pics of the car-









Thanks,
Shane

that sounds cool, what hood and spoiler are you going with? I say ram air I. the bigger bulges don't look right in my opinion. no so sure you really need to change your spoiler though, looks good already. I say change your wheels though before anything else.

yeah wheels are comign as soon as i get a job, but i would most likely be going witha RAI hood since it matches the lines of the car. But the spoiler i gto is the stock rubber spiler and it is split in many places. I filles the slits with bindo but it still needas to be replaced.

i called the local paint shop and they wanted $620 to do a hood and a spoiler striped. Thats why its not a plan yet.


I PAID $650 TODO MY ENTIRE CAR, thats why its a big deal.

How bout just the lower gfx painted black? MAYBE the spoiler too? What do you think? I'd try a photoshop and show you what i mean but i just got the program and im not too good with it.
