I think grabber orange screams for polished or chrome wheels IMO...

Black looks too 'heavy' on GO if that makes sense.
I disagree with ya there, GO is already so bright its gotta have mean and dark contrast, but that's just my 2 sense

But that rear with a duck tail spoiler (google saleen dan gurney) is my favorite and would look excellent with the steeda front bumper you said you have.
I am also a big fan of the Saleen/DG rear bumper and the red one you pictured (Torch_vert) was the inspiration for me to go that route in lieu of CS/GT500 rear. And yes, this option is a bit more pricey than others, but the bumper was the cheapest part (think I paid ~$150 shipped). The cost comes in on the trunk panel for relocating the license plate as it runs $200 (also requires drilling holes in the trunk for the license plate). I picked up both the bumper and DG grey tips on ebay for pretty cheap (just checked and neither are currently available) and it is not that expensive to have them welded to your current mufflers... I had mine attached to my existing GTA's.

As a point of reference, here's mine with Saleen trunk panel and DG tips, as the red pic the OP posted was a photoshop of the new Cervini trunk panel/light set-up. I think any lighter color car would look great with this set-up along with having the lower part of bumper painted black.

Not to thread jack, but your car looks amazing. I've pretty much decided that this is the rear I want for my car eventually. Out of curiosity does the decklid panel for the license plate have lights in it? Or do you no longer have license plate lights?

I do like the rear a lot for the dg/ pj bumper and your ride looks nice...

I think I might just stick with simple mods and not to the bumper because it costs too much.

I think a new spoiler with the painted tail light trim and blacked out lights will look nice in the rear. Then ill get some new Stripes in the spring... Remove the good scoop and get the steeda bumper finally painted will look nice.. Maybe even a hood if I get a deal on one too ..

I sorta like the set up in this picture

ducktail/blackout is a neat look- just for fun, get a cheep magnetic blackout andtoss it on there- I think the contrast (especially on orange) would really change the look.

some like it/some dont, but I painted my wing/lower bumper lip/rockers semigloss black, I still like the oldschool black wing

Yes, this set-up does have a license plate light, which comes with the trunk panel kit from Saleen (this is the 3rd hole you need to drill to feed the wiring through from the trunk).

Good idea as any bumper swap will not be cheap as a good paint match will run another $300-400 on top of the bumper cost.
