Talking Need suggestions & opinions!!! Happy camper :D

Picked up my car today I'm verrrry happy to say the least! WCC did a great job.. highly recommend for anyone even NEAR SoCal!

I'm torn between just blacking out the 5.0 emblems or laying down L-stripes. But I kinda like how it is right now!

Also thinking about the Roush grille that my buddy is giving me but I really like them foglights. Maybe just black out the pony??

What do you guys think?

Exterior mods:
- The kit is Street Scene front and sides (great fitment)
- 3DCarbon "Boy Racer" rear valance
- TruFiber 3" cowl
- 3DCarbon GT500 spoiler
- Roush exhaust (drool)
- H&R Super Sport springs 1.7/2.4"
- Koni STR.T + Eibach camber bolts














The owner's car!!


Base 2011 V6 PP back in 2010


A little modding


Saying goodbye and hello

I think the "L" stripes would look pretty cool.

The sky reflection in the first picture made me think you had it painted Dresden Blue - That should be your next exterior mod!

Hmm - honestly think I like your 6 better. The new one has more of a ricer look.

Either way, glad your happy with it! I'd add the Roush grill, I've got one and love the look.

I agree with that, and I think the Roush grill would look good too. And black out those emblems!

I'd leave the emblems unless you black out the rear medallion too. I would leave them chrome, get one of the rear blackout panels that is flush with the tai lights and tint the fogs 50%....

Really I'm warming up to it. I do think that with all of that "body" the car needs bigger rims though. It'll attract some attention no doubt.

Thanks for the comments

I'm in the minority but I really these wheels. Just wish the recommended max width was wider than 255s

Some people aren't gonna like the hood or the kit or the wheels, that's just how the world is! I did what I wanted and not what everyone else thinks is good, or else I'd just have RTRs and a Saleen grille (which are both beautiful).

If you think my car is "rice", it doesn't bother me - would still love to hear your opinion! No regrets here and I've learned that that is the most important thing to all aspects of life

Yea I hear you on the rims being wider.. You could have them widened if you'd like.

Since you asked for opinions...HATE the hood. It absolutely ruins it for me. Not crazy about the the black stripes on the wing. Other than that it looks good.

It's a great look, hood is a bit much for me, but then again I went with the cervini's cobra r hood. **** near as high, but more gradual. Lots of people love my hood, one or two haven't. C'est la vie. It looks nicely done and is a tight cohesive look. I would add the Roush grille, really mean it up. Congrats, great car.

the whole look is fantastic man, great job. those wheels are good for stock but with the aggressive style of the body kit, i'd sell them and put that cash towards staggered 20's asap. idk know if you should change the grill, it looks pretty sick as is and you need the fogs. if u do change it i would go saleen over the roush but thats just me. again, the car looks sick though!!

Body kit really looks pretty good. Tires are too small. Looks like a low rider as it sits in the pics. Not sure what drop kit is on it but it looks too low.
