$$Underhood: Looks...or Launch?$$




Okay, for me.....
Right now, my car's performance is far above anything I've ever owned so I'm actually quite satisfied presently. However, the Flowmaster tips are almost totally "blingless". They are chrome but no flange that helps make them visible directly from the rear. But they sound great IMO.
I'm having a real tough time deciding on the bling factor. There is a LOT of what I feel are totally tasteless add-ons, glue-ons or whatever. I have to admit to liking my car in it's "clean" state right now. There are no gee-gaws interfering with its smooth lines.
Some bling basics I am considering:
1. Wheels - I like my polished stockers but am looking for the right ones. I'll know 'em when I see 'em.
2. Underhood - Some paint and some minor covers. I want to do the valve cover covers myself....tasty with a bit of retro perhaps.
3. Rear spoiler - I've seen a couple of smaller ones on the forum I like and the installation is easy.
4. Stripes? - I'm imagining two very broad stripes total front to total rear and possibly filling into the rear valance. Color? Almost ghost-like in a shade just barely darker than the pewter. And maybe some barely perceptible ghost flames at the front within the stripes.
5. Side vents - Possible two "spears" about 4 inches long, chrome and not too wide. Can't find anything like that yet.
I also really like the new "non-pop-up" headlight kit available.
I guess I just want to keep it subtle and clean looking. Some of you have some fantastic examples of that.
Thanks for responding to this thread.
more?
