My $0.02: I see you're going for a blacked-out retro look, so I can only suggest you either paint the chin spoiler or get matte black rocker panels. The rest looks great!

Leo, If you are looking to pick up points in a show then I would add the flat black fuel door and change out the rims... You need to do something to help you stand out in the crowd a bit more. As far as painting the CDC spoiler... I don't know, I go back and forth with that idea but with my low driveway I'd leave it unpainted.
Other than that, I'd leave it the way it is. Your car as of now has a nice understated look and good cohesion throughout. I can’t see changing much that wouldn’t throw off the nicely balanced look you have.

Id put the GT badges back on, black out the rear's and possibly put a small pinstripe on the side, like on the Roush Roadsters, from the hood along the side, out to the tail.

You car looks great! I'm partial to the stock grill as well, but I really love the webelectric pony grill insert with chrome fog bezels. Sets off the stock grill, IMO.
You've probably already seen it but just in case:

paint the outsides of your chin spoiler gloss black and leave the middle matte black, it really makes it look like part of the car.

and get california special side scoops

She's perfect the way she is. You've got all the right pieces already...IMO.
Maybe, just maybe... a pair of reverse Silver C-stripes, similar to the '69 Boss 302?

I agree that your car looks great as is! However if you do get stripes what about reflective black rocker stripes!

Personally, I think your car looks great. I have always thought a carbon fiber hood on an all black car looks mean. A more affordable addition that would really set the car apart would be some stripes.. maybe silver or pewter? Just my 2 cents... good luck with the car!

Your car looks great as it is, the only thing I would do is remove the sticker on the shaker - doesn't go with the tri-bar stealth look.

(edit - probably not a sticker but you know what I mean.)

69 or 70 Mach flat black hood treatment is all your car needs.

I agree with NECIO! Photorealistic flames would rock!

Hey Leo:

I've always thought our Ponys are somewhat "related" so to speak, having similar mods.

I am a fan of the GT/CS side scoops, but since you already have quarter window louvers IMO they would clash.

Leave your CDC chin spoiler matte black. I have learned the hard way that you DO hit things with it and the matte finish is easily repaired with a rattle can. (I hit a piece of steel cable laying in the road!)

Get the Webelectric pony corral. I love mine!!!

Have you thought about a SHR honeycomb panel on the back? I've been tossing that one around, it may look good, it may not...

And LAST BUT NOT LEAST: You DEFINITELY need the 17" bright aluminum wheels. GET THOSE NOW!

Rocker panel stripes?
