Finally getting things moving...

Hey all!

Been preparing for a cruise I am taking in April, so I am trying not to get too crazy yet, just small stuff, since I have found out about a month ago that I may have to eat a cruise & plane ticket since one guy backed out, but to the point...

Today (Friday) I am getting my windows blacked out, at a 5%. After about 6 months to give the tint a chance to really set up, I am possibly going to do another 35% or better on top ( I have done it 5% over 5% once before & it sucked at night, but you just couldnt see in aytime).

I am going to paint my calipers a nice bright red on the next nice day, after it rains, so the dust stays down a bit since there are new homes going up just behind mine, there is a lot of dust.

My Zaino arrived today, and again, a good wash & polish is in order on the next decent day that I have time to spare.

So, what I am looking for is, does anyone know of any decent grill mods that aren't just silly looking? & I am LOOKING at alternatives to the fender strakes, with a black 8, black & red interior, the painting is an option, but red vents on the solid black car, I think, would be hideous. So,are there any other decent options out there besides paint or fender strakes?

Thanks...

Another member with a black car painted the grille silver and I thought it actually looked pretty sharp, at least in the picture. A similar silver treatment to the side vents might look sharp as well.

Sometimes just keeping it simple is best. Just do alot of searches and see what you like, but in alot of cases doing something (DIFFENENT) turns out TACKY!!!
