marguerite66 is finally modding

I spent a lot of time last night looking at catalogs and think I've come up with a couple things:
1. I like the Cervini hood..It has the functional air kit and redirects the washer squirters under the hood. so no drilling as Tony & Jared warned of.
2. I found a chin spoiler that I like and would paint all LL:

(also have a feeling ins. co is not going to replace the bumper..it has very minor damage) not that it mattters but this option saves me a couple hundred.
3. Leaning towards leaving the mirrors alone. I like the ones Nick pointed out but I really do love the big mirrors
4. Also leaning towards no stripes. If I were to stripe, it would only be the hood and possibly the BOSS style that Vinny pointed out. I can't see striping my whole car. It would probably be black. I'm thinking I can see what it looks like without stripes first, may cost me more $$ to bring it back later but at least it can be done later.
5. Not sure about spoilers, having a hard time with this one. Will keep looking.
6. Also having hard time with the grill. I did find an emblem I like and was thinking about it because if I did a billet grill, I thought the color would break up all the silver. Its a air brushed LL pony, can do a black base or chrome base..Was thinking black base if I did billet grill and chrome base if I leave grill alone.

7. Also thought about headlights/fog lights but couldn't find any pics of what they look like lit..I do like Jared's headlights.
8. Wheels..I kinda like my style now but would like to upgrade to the 18"...I do like the darker color wheels but not too dark and also like the 5 spoke. I have time to think about this though..
What do you guys think?? Your input has helped me so much already and I really appreciate it..
Matt..not thinking anything with the interior..not right now anyway.

Hey, sounds like you have an idea. Anything is going to look good!
And matt is a certified interior hoe, he's the person to ask about interior stuff for sure.
If you do stripes they have to go all the way over top & to the ground, like Jared's. Not solid, boss stripes look good.
Billett grills look FUGLY! Dont do the chrome either. Yuks. Chrome wheels on the other hand......
Your stock spoiler looks good or go w/ GT500.
Dawn, here's what I'm thinking for your car (and have been thinking for a while, lol)
First, picture of a CS bumper on a Limer. Looks great in my opinion. You can go center fog like this or stay stock, I personally don't have a preference.
Next Matte black stripes in a similar fashion to this (minus the "boss" logo). I actually like the wheel setup on this too, but thats a different story.
Paint the rear spoiler flat black and maybe get some window louvers flat black as well, but thats kindof extra. I would've done all this stuff to my car if I had the money, so I'm gonna live vicariously through you instead, lol. Its definitely a throwback look and something I love. You've already got the color right, might as well finish it off.

Nick..I didn't really like the billet much either unless you change the whole look of the grill. its ok to say if you don't like something..trying to get a feel for what works and what doesn't..
Tim..not worried about the price so much just no spoilers are really jumping out at me and I kinda like mine so its a tough choice. I will check out Brian's wheels.
