The thing I don't like about your car, is that is pretty much where I would go with mine - all blacked out. I hate to do it now, because I don't want it to be a "me too" car. One of the few differences is I plan to go with 5 spoke wheels.

I hear you, John, and there are many that came before me with similar styles, but IMO it is all about how you execute it. MY wheels are similar to SRT wheels, but quite different when you really look, and I have tried to go with as many 1 off mods as I can to try and differentiate (IE, one of a kind CF side strakes, one off grill, custom CAI, etc). Also, there have been many who have gone with the all black look, but I like mine because there are some non-black items to break up the monotony. The CF, stainless, chrome, and matte black all are very subtle (minus the chrome wheels LOL) but they all add to the overall character of the car.

This weekend at Woodward, I was parked by ACrispy, first time I had seen his car in person, and I always thought I was going in the same general direction as his. Once I saw them next to each other and started noticing the differences, in my mind, the cars were very different, even though to a casual observer, they may have been nearly identicle. Different wheels, windshield surround, badging, grills, strakes, handles, and the list goes on.

While it may be similar, just make sure you really make it yours, and happy modding

I will be looking forward to seeing the results, my friend.
