Default 2004 GT Dress Up

I am torn between two ideals. I love the look of a nice "clean" ride, however;
I also am a big fan of a unique car as well. I am looking for any ideas on apperance items (mainly graphics) for my car. I already have plans for a grill delete and chin spoiler but I think I want more. The big problem is my car is Dark Shadow Grey. What color graphics work well with this color?

One more thing, anyone have a line on exhaust tips for mustangs? I want to get rid of the tapered tips and go round.

Did I mention that I love you guys?

No, I really do love you. I mean It!

No. I am not just saying that b/c I want some.

Good luck with the graphics, i think most graphics are gey.
All yer gonna find mustangwise are tottaly gay ones. Like the big burly horse with its arms crossed (give me a freakin break)

Honestly, if yer gonna do graphics, start watching Overhauling, and check out Foose's designs. I like rally stripes and that is about it. The boss stripes are pretty slick too. Try to come up with a custom design and see if you can get it done,.

As for color, i always thought Silver would look pretty slick on DSG.....

stripes may look kinda odd on your car...I haven't seen too many DSG Mustangs out there with stripes...I would leave it clean...my .02
Plus stripes don't look right on a vert.

Here's my buddies DSG vert...the vertical doors are taken off now.

Dude, I am not talking about flames, dragons, or a half naked lady on the side. Just maybe bumper letter inserts and-or mach 1 inspired hood graphics. Oh yeah I kind of like those engine designation graphics for the side of the scoop.

My buddy's Dodge 1500 Hemi Lemon is DSG. Not exactly, but damn close. I put some spare silver striping against the paint, tell ya what, it looked pretty sweet. good contrast, eye catching, yet not too bold.

Midas, Meineke, just about any mufflershop will have different exhaust tips. Personally i reccommend finding a local performance exhaust place and have them welded on. Personally i like the tapered ones better, if you go with 3.5in chrome they fit real well with the rear bumper.

50resto's side stripes in black would look good. Subtle which IMO is good. Red might be cool as well, kind of a throwback color combo.
