Default What Rims for Vapor Silver

2009 v6 vapor silver stang
Will be putting black stripes over the top and already has black tape stripe on sides
Will also be putting black quarter louvers and a vapor silver hood scoop, and black bullit fuel door.


What wheels will look good on my mustang?? I can't decide what color options will look good. Most of the things I am putting on the car are black, so I wasn't sure if black rims would be best or not? I'm just 17 so I'm new to customizing mustangs... tis my first =P

Any help or suggestions would be great.

I would say no to black louvers, do them the color of the body(Mis-matched body panels/pieces look terrible). Yes to the rest of your ideas (stripes, hood scoop(not sold on it really), fuel door). Black 18'' fr500's would be nice as would black bullitts. I know they are common but they look good. Also maybe the black out panel that goes between the taillights, give it a nice retro look?

Its your car if you wanted to paint a pink ***** on it, who cares its yours. Do what you like and if others do like it then you most likely suck.

Lol yea that sounds great I'll get right to it!..... What I mean't by all this. Is, I dont want multiple shades of black on my car and wasn't sure if the tail light trim could be used in conjunction with the honeycomb trim that goes on the tail lights. And I thought someone out there for sure, would be able to let me know if these products would go together or if I have to pick and choose between some.

Black Mustang Tape Stripe on Side of car


Add this stuff???

Vapor Silver quarter louvers
Vapor Silver hood scoop
Black Shorty Antenna
Blackout decklid panel this: http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-m...-blackout.html
Tinted tail light kit just tint them
Black tail light trim kit neg. You wont' need this with the tail light tint.
Black bullit fuel door
Black Fr500 Rims 18" ORRRRRR Hypercoated Fr500 Rims 18" I would go black since you are doing a black theme. Hypercoated would just look off, in my eyes.
Black 12" Rally Stripes







lance those wheels are kind of sick, what brand are they? My dad has a z and those would be pretty cool for it.

Ok So now I was wanting to ask about some things on the back of the car. mustangvsix said that I should get the magnetic blackout panel and tint the tail lights. What are my options on blackout kits on the back of the car? Like If I wanted the honeycomb panel, and the honeycomb tail light kit.. would I need the black mustang brake tail light dress up kit as well?? I just want to make sure I dont order stuff that i can't use together

Thanks for help guys

Ok since I'm about to start college, my budget isn't really large =[ So I was thinking to just do some exterior upgrades at the moment, no new tires and rims Here are links to the things I am wanting to get guys!

Rear of Car

http://www.americanmuscle.com/shr-20...rim-panel.html $150

http://www.americanmuscle.com/honeyc...trim-0509.html $50

http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...trim-0509.html $50

http://www.americanmuscle.com/brake-...ecal-2005.html $10

Front of car

http://www.americanmuscle.com/0509v6...utout-kit.html $170

http://www.americanmuscle.com/14in-antenna.html $20

http://v6mustangstuff.com/custompaintparts.htm (fourth from top item Gen-4 Hood Scoop - Painted) Vapor Silver $180

Side of Car

http://v6mustangstuff.com/custompaintparts.htm (top item Gen-4 Side Quarter Window Louvers -Painted) Vapor Silver $165

http://www.americanmuscle.com/sr-050...oor-black.html $90

I think that's everything I had planned. All parts would be ready to put on, no painting required

$885 Is definately in spending limits as well!

Is all of this going to match? Anything I left out that would look cool adding on? Spending limit is $1200 and I can do all installation at home with dad.

Thanks Guys!

I think I'd take that 885 and buy your black rims and tires...

But that's just me...

all that stuff looks great man. Only thing is skip the tail light outline things, you wont' notice them with the honeycomb covers you want to put on. Otherwise everything looks like it would work really well together.

Thanks guys! If I have any other questions I will post them! I couldn't decide between getting the billitt parts or not =[ I like the way the billit grills look versus the stock ones But I wasn't sure if it would be a bad idea because of the black and silver theme??

And ok thanks, I wont get the black trim then save me 50 bucks

I'm going to do performance upgrades and rims all at same time after the exterior stuff. Mainly because I've heard that when i change rim diameter it will mess with the speedometer?? Is that true? I thought I would get a tuner, cold air intake, 4.10 gears, and a T Lok
