Smick wheels, lower it a foot and she's all done. I'm a no for stripes as well, never been to keen on putting new model stuff on earlier cars. (example) vn bomadores with vt gts front, it makes me cringe.

Serious ... lower it a bit ... not excessively though ... lose the mudflaps.
NO STRIPES.

The car looks damn neat as it is now.

Maybe the Fairmont skirt kit from AWC ... but that's all I'd do to it.
