Looks good !
I like the look of contrasting black on black. What do you think about painting, everything that's now white (the bottom & bird on the hood), a gloss or semi-gloss black ?

Re: Spray Bomb, Spray Can, What you think?
Thanks for the support everyone. I really enjoy this idea alot. Keep the black flat, but use a more of a high gloss/reflective or even deeper black for what is white. At the time I spent literally hours over about a three week period asking asking everyone I came across on what color I should paint it. Finally I just went with my gut. Wanted to capture the old school muscle look, and I knew flat black would be the best representative to do just that. At the same time I wanted it to look new and fresh with a custom stand alone style. So instead of some 3D paint or aftermarket b.s like v8 emblems on the fenders or racing stripes that mustang owners overkill. I knew what I must do. Keep it original. Doing the slight minor changes would make the big difference and stand out. So I used the colors that most counter each other. Black and White. Then the basics one color for the body and one color for the ground effects, but I still needed the new look, so it hit me, the headlight doors. If I can find the picture I even painted the spoiler white also. It looked amazing especially with the GTA Gold rims.
