I'm not sure about the CF mirrors...

CF hood, gloss black roof + CF trunk could be sick though.

Having done pretty much all the mods you listed, I would say it's a good list and has potential, when do you think the future is that you would be doing this?

I agree. I never like the CF mirrors for our cars though.

black rims with chrome lips are overplayed IMO I think black with red lip looks cleaner, but only if you have a red and black theme goin. Did you mean tinted headlights or blackhoused headlights? cause the only person that really pulled off the tinted headlights was blindshooter.

with a car like that, you might end up paying some more fees. all that stuff could be the reason why a dick cop would pull you over and give you some BS.

but good luck. i'm not ragging on ya or anything, just be prepared to know what might happen when you mod your car.

It's overplayed because it looks good :P

I got my wheels for free when my bro joined the Navy so I'm gonna use what I have. I think black with a polished lip looks great when the chrome around our windows.

Go with what you have. Our cars are 11 years old - to put $3,000 rims on just to be different is just crazy unless you have money to burn. In which case, you're probably not driving an 11 year old car.

Black with a red lip will be overplayed soon enough, trust me. That's a problem in this scene - if you do something that looks good you're guaranteed to have it catch on and become overplayed. But, if it doesn't look good, then you get haters.

I'm so sick of the term played out, like doubleshot said, if it looks good, everyone is going to do it. Black with polished lip is played out, so is black with red lip, who gives a fuck it's your car. There's only so many choices before you get to green and pink rims, just do what you like

That reminds me I need to repaint my wheels neon green and paint all the crome/badges to match.

Joking aside I live in Indiana any time you tastefully mod a car it looks insane compared to the 150+ neon/cavilers I see running around with faded paint and fart cans.

Just stay out of trouble. Forget about the car for now. Everything you've mentioned has been done.

Just my two cents. Get your act together.

Speaking of CF hoods on a non black car... Does anyone know of anyone that has paired it with a gloss black roof on a lighter color car?

Some of the TL guys did it with tinted windows and the black flowing up the car down the middle looks insane.

I was really annoyed when I first read this thread, but i guess its better that he made one single feeler thread as opposed to 10 different recommendation threads.

The mod virus is incurable. Once it starts, it's almost unstoppable.
