    Need Help For Appearance Mods For My Car

    I am having a little bit of a dilemma. Currently as the car sits I have black overlays on everything and will have to replace some of them because they are starting to come off. I saw a SOM T/A with chrome overlays and I really liked the way it looked compared to the black overlays that I currently have. Other appearance mods that will be done are darker window tint, tails blacked out (maybe tint all lights including fogs, turn signals, side markers?), and RPM 505 rims in either hyper silver face or chrome face (undecided). I have the stripe on the hood for now because a previous owner had a pin stripe on it that made the paint look funny so it is covered up with the black stripes until a repaint down the road. I have made multiple selections as I have several options to go with so just looking for some input.

    My car currently






    SOM with chrome overlays





    RPM 505`s with Hypersilver Face (sorry the picture is huge)


    RPM 505`s with chrome face on red car



    Pick 1 if you like it the way it is
    Pick an option between 2 or 3
    Pick an option between 4 or 5
    Pick an option between 6 or 7
    Pick an option between 8 or 9

    Hopefully it all makes sense

    just my opinion (so it don`t mean much)

    A car like that should be kept as oem as possible
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    I wouldn`t do the chrome overlays. I think the orange goes better with the black. Plus too much chrome can make it look cheap. I do like the wheels in the last photo the most though. Plus it has black overlays as well! I say go with that same setup. Black overlays = much cleaner.

    Keep the wheels from the first pic, darken the windows and tail lights, and lower it. Done
    Put the rest of the money into a nice nitrous setup

    I like the last pic but think those wheels would look better in Aluminum rather than chrome. Also IMO I think tinting the lights would look horrible in the front and ruin your Firebird signature tails which are one of my favorites behind my old 99 spec Rx-7 tails.

    In my opinion, I think the chrome looks a bit tacky. I agree that the orange goes better with black. As far as the wheels go, I think the hypersilver face, or something darker would look good. Don`t tint the tails. But window tint would look good.
