entertaining.
in retrospect you should've checked here before you started you aesthetic mods, your hard earned money could've been put to use better. it's not too late though.
as for suggestions i don't think you have that much to do since you seem to be somewhat...umm how should we put it...flamboyant...that's the word i'm looking for. just color co-ordinate the ground effects, tint (to hide the seat covers :)), the 17" or 18" white tsw or tdm and you'll be good to go.
see. you're not that far off.
what color were you going to get the svt ground effects?

Considering that I have racing stripes on my SVT I think you should reconsider the color of your strips. I'd go with a charcoal grey instead and repaint the bottom back to the original color. As far as rims go thats always up in the air but if you want a nice rim thats resonalbly priced I'd look at the Rage 5.0 offered through Discount Tire.

i think that the taillight covers would be cool if they were not white, i like the wing (and am getting one for my ride) exhaust is cool, the interior detailing (minus the seat covers) is cool, if i did it i would do a different color, but that is just me, but yeah, tint and rims are needed
and a question that im sure all of us are thihnking (maybe just me)
How did you do that rear bumper thing??

Well it certainly is original.... I think that maybe it would look better without so much white. It's kinda slaps you in the face and screams "look at me!" -which isn't always bad. There are, however, more subtle ways to have your car leave a lasting *and positive* immpression on people. I think a new paint job would be best for now. Hell, the new paint job could be yellow and look better  . Seriously though, the very mannerly and businessman-like "medium graphite" and "Brand spankin'new tennis shoe White" do not make for a good color combo. mis dos centavos solamente,

The car would look good if the white was body color. And some rims would help out too (but those help out everybody ;)). I don't really like the interior cause it does seem to fit, looks out of place. Other than that the car looks good. The bumper mod is new and is not something I have seen before. Good job on that one.
