Have the body Mods come to an end?

Are your body mods completed? And have they come to an end? I feel any more changes on my ride and it would be overkill.

I know I am done with mine. I agree with the fact that if I did anything else to the exterior it will be way too much.

Well, I'm still waiting on my bumper cover to be finished, put one coat of paint on just the head light portion ,and was able to see things that where missed. so hopefully have it done this week.
As long as your happy with what your car looks like ,then the body mods should stop. I just wanted something different.

Not even close! I still need a hood preferably the SS hood, wheels, GT500 spoiler, and I would also like to add black chrome billet grilles but no one makes them and SS stripes and a black out panel between the tail lights. Problems I have is no one is currently making what I want. That and I really can't decide which wheels to go with. Someone help!

Will, I just posted one last message on the KR/SS hood thread. I too would like to upgrade to the KR and or SS hood, but it won't be a Shelby hood. They can choke on theirs.

Aside from the hood, I want a Shelby GT500 grill with fogs in the grill. It may be overkill, but I'd like to have fogs in the grill and in the lower front bumper. I think I'm done after that...... I sure have been saying I'm done a lot. I keep finding things I wanna do woth this car

I'm content with mine with the exception of deleting the antenna. I actually bought a bunch of stuff that I THOUGHT I wanted to put on the car, but opted not to. I sold pretty much all of it to other folks on the board. In fact I still have a couple things to get rid of...

I am done, except that this coming winter I will be sitching from a stock GT Rear Bumper Cover with Street Scenes Gen 1 Rear Valance to a CS Rear Bumper Cover.

I'm not done with mine (more on that later), but I really appreciate people who know when to say when. I don't like it when the mods take too much away from the look of the cars original lines. "Less is more" can apply sometimes.

No one is making the bumper cover I want ,so I just had to do the mold myself,but now the driverside is done ,but the passenger needs a little fine detailing, hopefully it will finally be done this week.seems anything can happen when you do a custom one of.Not driving the car is getting old! Every one will know when it's done,but I won't post another picture until it's finished and on the car...

Only thing I'll add to mine is some new tires, maybe some type of mach1 style hood stripe and consider painting my chin spoiler to match. Other than that I'm happy with the exterior.

I like the matte chin spoiler...that's how mine is too.

I will likely lower mine about 1" over the winter (although I guess it's not technically a body mod, it does change the car's appearance) and maybe some tint. Other than that I'm calling it quits.

The only thing left that I am considering for the exterior is the Cervini 500 chin spoiler. I'm pretty happy with the way the car looks so it isn't a big priority for me at the moment.

Im up for a new hood(CS6?) a new spoiler(GT500 or something else) and *maybe* just maybe the GT/CS rear bumper. Other then that I'll prolly put 95% of my mod spending towards performance. The other 5% interior/engine bay bling.

You have to know when to stop. Thats for sure. Have a set theme and once its done your done.

I think I'm pretty much done myself...my girl says I should get a license plate that reads "never satisfied" cause I'm always changing something. The only thing I can thinkof next is either getting new Black chrome bullitt rims or finding a place that can coat them in that (if anyone can???)
