I've yet to see one with a painted heritage grill. Hows that for a start?

Car is beautiful the way it is don't start changing it too much...an exhaust system probably is good enough

Bell040 · 04-03-2010, 09:06 PM

GFX, trunklid blackout, black hoodstripes,

courtesy of Hylton's garage....

maybe add the AAC LED painted sidemarkers, tint the windows, and paint the calipers dark red.

If I had to have a SIM... thats what I would do.

ron10 · 04-03-2010, 09:30 PM

don't put any chrome on the body.

ddunerider · 04-03-2010, 09:43 PM

Mine but don't copy...

USAFJeeper · 04-03-2010, 09:43 PM

Chrome on any car sucks. That is of course a personal opinion!

Romeloc · 04-04-2010, 01:22 AM

tints, blackout the rear trunk panel or tailights, grill, bowties black

youngoliver · 04-04-2010, 03:19 AM

black bow ties or same color as w.e. your stripes are fur sure.
black out tail lights and some tint.

i did that to mine for now its simple and changes the look of the car so much

I have seen a SIM heritage grill on here somewhere! I have changed the center bowties with chrome ones. I think chrome works well in moderation and done with taste. Cosmetic mods are as planned: tint the windows 25% (a must), body color antenna, then go spend money on performance.

nosrettap58 · 04-04-2010, 06:00 PM

After reading different opinions i'd say it depends on your age and your individual taste. There are things that i would never do, but things i would do that other people never would.

What color would you guys go with for the calipers? I have a sim camaro with iom interior... So how about iom calipers? Too much?

SirBrad · 06-16-2010, 10:03 PM

I did:

CGM Rally Stripes
28% tint all around
Defenderworx black billet bowties

Ejk · 08-27-2012, 09:43 PM

What about red colored leather stitching or stone colored stitching?

hsoj10 · 08-27-2012, 09:55 PM

Heres mine

hsoj10 · 08-28-2012, 08:04 PM

Go with something different but subtle! Silver looks good by itself, so add some subtle black touches to set it off. Not too much though!

No just black tail light bezels. It does make them look a little darker though. Thanks

Sweet. Im deciding whether I should do red leather stitching for my interior (seats, arm rest, shifter, steering wheel) what do you think? Or should I stick with silver/stone color?

ddunerider · 08-28-2012, 08:17 PM

Less is better in my book..

I like the silver, thats just me though. If you think you will like the red go for it. Its your car, do what you like. Im sure it will look awesome.

I agree, this is why I stayed away from rally stripes. It was more black then I wanted. So I did the hood spears and stuff for the subtle look but enough black to really set things off and I am happy with the outcome. I do think SIM is the best color though

thesnoopster · 08-28-2012, 08:31 PM

I did little to mines....painted heritage grille and replaced the gas door with a black one.... no stripes or no chrome, im not a big fan of chrome. (see sig)

But its your choice, just dont go overboard with it
