Christmas gift to.....myself :)

Decided to finally get a new front.....so im happy

(side)

Within the next week or so im taking off my stripes because they just look trashy (rain drops and rips).....so im open to some feedback on what style of strips yall think will look good or stick with the style i have.

I like it but I would change the lower grill to black. The aluminum clashes with black pony pkg grill imho.

Leave the lower side stripes and remove the hood stripes. I think the wide stripes take away from the clean style. Not fond of wide stripes

The new front looks awesome! If you're gonna take off the stripes, make sure to heat them up with a hairdryer as you're peeling them off. If any adhesive is left, use 3M Adhesive Remover. It works great and won't hurt the paint.

I would say call KC at Clevenger and get a GT hood scoop, it would look even better.



[The car has since been lowered with FRPP springs]
