Some of my latest Mods - more to come soon

Hello everyone. So I have had my car since 08. I had done wheels via Forgeline 19 inch SP3P's, coilovers, and some power mods. This year I decided to make my car look different. I started by plastidipping my wheels. Then I obtained some 2010 Carbon Fiber Side and rear splitters from Brandon and Phil at trufiber. I had to modify them to make them fit. The work was worth it. I topped it all off with a Super Louvered hood from Paul Brown at Tiger Racing. I'm really happy with the looks of the car but I still plan on doing the following:
1. Possibly paint the Louver section of my hood Blue
2. Paint my calipers Blue with G2
3. Carbon Fiber rear view mirror covers
4. Paint the edges of the side splitters with a thin blue pinstripe.
5. I will probably use vinyl or Blue plastidip because if I don't like it I can just peel it off.













What do you guys think?

That's a pretty mean looking Stang! If you hadn't said the splitters were carbon fiber I wouldn't have known. It's a subtle look. How well does the plastidip hold up and how often do you need to reapply it?

That's a great looking car! I'm in love with that hood right now! I agree with adding color. Blue would be different and kind of neat too. Especially a line around the rim of the wheels and some on the side splitters and hood. That would be an awesome look

I think your car looks very good how it sits especially in-regards to the stance not an easy task to get the car to look that way.
The only thing I would change visually is the front/side makers and add a nice shorty antenna.

NIIIICE! Tint those tails & turn signals. Not sure what I think about the blue... are you talking like grabber blue or a darker like vista?

Thanks for the comments guys. It's been a long time in the making and I'm just diving into it. I'm shooting into getting some sponsors this year and hopefully int SEMA. The coilovers are Eibach R1's. I have them set about 10 full turns up from the bottom. I tries to level off the car as best I could. I might drop a little more in the back. The coilovers have a lot more adjustment to go lower. I'm thinking of using a blue darker than grabber kind of like Cobalt blue. I will probably use a custom plastidip color. I'm also going to order a shorty antennae today saw them on sale at s197 forum. I thought about tinting the lights but the cops around here do not think highly of that. I've had the plastidip on my wheels about a month now. Unless I tell people they think the wheels are powdercoated. Silversky what timezone are you in.....or just ask away I have no problem answering any questions.
