The aero grilles are a good option, but the mesh design on theese looks cooler.
Yup, still kicken........ shoveled a lot of snow, too much................

LB, go with the CF if you need some more "shine", East Coast, have some practice out here, tough, says, the flater fitting, matt black, will look as good or better........ It's a less is more, form follows function = a black 55 Biscayne, limo tint, 572 BB w/800hp, a glide, a no interior interior, narrowed 9", bigs & littles doesen't need too much more.... maybe "avenger" on the quater pannels or not. You right about there with the "weapon".....

You could go black on the roof, or maybe a color that pops. Maybe Red like the new JCW's. Or Maybe a custom roof print. The white roof looks a bit out of place. The chrome bits look good with your interior though, but maybe you could lose a few bits. Or go black chrome... could look good.

I've thought about a mat red roof or a mat black roof.

The black Crome made me as I was thinking about it. I researched some paint that looks interesting. It turns Chrom into black chrome.

I was also thinging of what a couple mat black stripes on the roof would look like. Like on Jans GP
