Before/After Pics of My Car

[whitepunisher]

So two days ago FINALLY my new hood arrived from Cervini's. The 2.5 cowl hood was pre-painted and matched very well. I got their billet grill and did a hidden fog install (thanks to inspiration on here). I also put FRPP K springs on it to lower it. When i first got it, it had white racing stripes. I took those off and put black (plasti dip) stripes on it (which surprisingly held up pretty good). But once i got the hood in i took off the stripes. Anyway here some pics of it.

When i got it

stock ride height

black stripes

and now

front with billet grill and hidden fogs

clay bar-ed it and waxed it, i was surprised how much contaminants the clay bar got out

and probably my favorite picture

Let me know what you guys think. I have the normal GT spoiler but have it off right now, and trying to decide what i want to do. What spoiler do you guys think would look good? It being spoiler-less right now I think looks a little weird with the cowl hood. I'm thinking maybe the GT500 spoiler? My next appearance mod is probably going to be a chin and then to the performance

I personally think it looks good without spoiler. I think maybe a CS rear bumper may help set it off a little, or maybe some new wheels.

No spoiler....looks good.

I think that it looks good without the spoiler, even with the cowl hood. I think having a rear bumper that goes lower would make it better. But maybe that is just me.

Lookin good bro......lovin the color but im biased as well......put the GT500 spoiler on the back......thats what i went with and it goes very well with a cowl......

I love our wheels, man. Greatest factory wheel for the 05-09 S197's.

I vote GT500 wing and splitter.

Car looks good! where did you get the hood pre-painted?

I also agree some aftermarket wheels would set it off. I also like the GT500 spoiler. That is one of my next mods on my car is to get that spoiler.

"our" wheels implies I have a set

The GT500 splitter. Just takes some minor trimming and some handy work and it will look perfect on the car.

I figured you did, but thought if you liked them so much you might want a winter set. lol!

Haha not needed in texas

I'm probably about to have to give them up for some wider wheels that will accommodate wider tires, I get zero traction in first/second

GT500 spoiler FTW! Ebay site has them for like $100. Car looks great.

 

[BadPiggy]

or maybe some new wheels.

This!

Yeah I almost jumped on some black Friday rims on sale but I know the wife would have killed me if I got them lol. I do really just like the factory wheels just wish they were wider. I probably will get some eventually though Love the car waldogt07 and I think that the gt500 spoiler does look really good with the cowl. Does it cover up the factory holes?

Thanks man.....and yes it covers the factory holes....you actually use a couple of the factory holes when mounting the GT500 spoiler

One thing you may want to consider if you really like the factory wheels are 1" bolt on wheel spacers all around. They will make you tires line up perfectly with the edge of the fender, and get rid of the "sunken in" look from the factory. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than new wheels.

Car looks good, BTW. Love the color!
