    Need opinions on appearance mods

    I need your opinions on some appearance mods. I want to change a few things up.
    Picture #1 Here is the car as it sits now
    Picture #2 I wanted to add the gloss black roof wrap
    Picture #3 I was thinking of adding the hood accents
    Picture #4 to tie it all in, I was going to switch to the black chrome FR500 wheels

    Please let me know your thoughts. Be honest becuase I am not sure this is the direction I want to go. thanks!

    Roof wrap is badass, and that's all I would do.

    Sean - I think your car looks very classy as it sits. I love the deep dish look on the rears. Not a fan of the hood graphics. Black roof - maybe? Wheels - the FR's are nice but for all that extra $ I don't know if I'd pull the trigger. I guess I'm not that much help!

    I've said it before this is one of my favorite new edges on here. I wouldn't change a thing. Car looks perfect. Well, I would tint it...

    Thanks for the compliment! I agree, a trip to the tint shop may be necessary.

    i wouldnt go with any replica wheels, i think they are all cheap...just my opinion. i think the bullitts are better anyways and a lot of people have the fr500s...be different. that roof wrap looks interesting, and i always like the two-toned new edges. i would go with a new hood before putting graphics on it...

    Yup, but I'm a little biased cause I had tons of compliments when I had it done to my Cali.

    What kind of hood? I didn't think there are too many options for a new edge

    You're car is almost identical to mine. I would steer clear of the hood accents. I like the roof wrap, not to bad. The wheels aren't cheap, so if it is something you see as a must, then go for it. If not, save and just tint the windows! IMAG0063.jpg
