Red 3rd gens... what body/wheel mods ?

Just about everything ive seen on a red 3rd gen looked rather poor... Anyone have any recomendations of parts that actually look good on a red 3rd gen ?

And wheels.. Anyone got aftermarket rims on a red car ?

I have Alba 907 Blaze 18" chrome rims with Pirelli SS's on mine, had em 2 years, working on getting something else with a lip...preferrably all chrome of course, nothin like it....
body mods are GTC front, Cwest sides and rear bumper, 99 spec rear wing, factory mirrors located on the fenders, aftermarket glass sunroof, oem hatch sunshade, all Vintage Red...
I also have a few "light" performance mods....

What about the stock front end? It looks good IMO...also with you on the 99 spec. I also like the border but I don't know about the red.

This is why I have yet to start with body work is bc I don't know what I want and its so much a matter of personal opinion. Good luck Jon, let us know what you decide on.

on a red car, any blingin rim would look SMKOKIN! but make sure it has a large and mirror polished lip.

wheel colors that you should not touch with a 10 foot pole: bronze, gold, or un-polished silver. fugly, IMO, on a red car.

So what ARE you looking for? You seem to have a good idea of what you DONT like...


Also what do you have to start with here? Base/Touring/PEP/R1?

Stock rims/lip/rear wing?

How bout a pic so we can get an idea of what your working with?
