Help! What if any thing does my car need?

What if anything would you add to the exterior of the car? I thinking it needs something to really set it off. FYI-The bullites are staying so please don't suggest changing those. Just trying to get some opinions TIA.

Here's some pics as it sits now.

I think a black CDC billet grille would look great on your car. I just don't really like the way the stock grille looks. Overall Leo, you've really done an excellent job with the exterior.

Add some Dark Red. Striping, pin narrow or wide do something different than others. Make it YOUR'S. Maybe a reverse C Stripe for the sides. A MACH makeover for the trunk lid rear. Up fron paint the grille honeycomb protrusions the Dark Red also to bring it all together. Quarter scoops work good too. and a full rear window loover.

I love spending other peoples money. If you can photchop, or know someone who can, thats your best bet to try different combos.

If you'd look at the pictures he posted, it should be apparent that he has those already.

What to add? How about a supercharger?

Edit: Oops, Alloy 07 RN beat me to it!

How about a SHR anodized black fuel door? I think they look pretty sharp on black cars. I think the polished one's might stick out a little too much though.

I think your car looks great! If it was mine I would exchange the quarter window louvers with the SHR flush mount ones.

Okay. Either way, louvers look like crap. IMO, of course.

LEO !!!
If you don't know the answer to that question, no one does.
It is your car. Get to know yourself. Does it make you happy?
I know you are still fairly young, but the real adventure in life is to find YOURSELF.
GO FORTH AND FIND YOUR INNER VOICE !!!

WTF?? Thanks Dr. Phil. Seriously though I'm very happy with the way it looks. I just feel it's missing one thing to put it over the top. I just can't but my finger on it.

LOL you sound like my wife. She's constantly telling me to put the GT badges back on. So far I think I like your response the most.

Thought about it and probably would do it it's just whenever I see gold stripes on black GT-H comes to mind.

Considered that to it's just I like the stock grille a little more.

If I did stripes of any kind they'd be matte black or charcoal metallic. Considered doing the SHR honeycomb panel but I like the nice shiny look of the paint back there. Plus IMO doesn't really pop on black like it does with other colors. Not a fan of 1/4 scoops or rear window louver.

Thought about that although If I did I'd want it painted to match the car. Looked into the price of all that and it would run me like $250 which IMO is way to much money to spend for a fuel door.

Thanks. My only complaint on the SHR louvers is they leave that gap just like the stock 1/4 window. Plus I already have the CDC louvers and can't see me spending more money on a variation of something I already have.

I tried that but I think I like having the contrast of the red lights out back.

I want the fader stripe it's just the guy offering them doesn't have them in matte black or charcoal metallic.
