Help me mod the cars looks!

What can I mod on this car for looks other than a body kit. Wife isnt letting me mess with the body....yet!

So far all i have ordered is the clear corners.

Cool

did u order your car with the wing? if not there are many other spoilers u can get.

neon/led is another way but only for nighttime. i've found this to be the best led kit
STREET FX

you could also get a custome paint job. nothing fancy just maybe a new color.

also u might look at new rims. nice rims can give even older cars new flashy looks.

good luck in your deciding

She got the shinka model so it came with a wing.
Looking into some 19s but she is very picky on wheels.

Yes the whole shinka thing is a just neato thing.....to the wife....but I like to be different from any car out there that is like mine. That is why I have stupidly sunk almost 7 grand into my SRT....>LoL<.....and the dayum thing isnt even at 400 horsepower.....yet. Got the BB gt40 on order from AGP...

But I am stupid on this car.....what the hell is different from the Shinka Model from the regular. Did i notice this this has HIDs or am I just hoping for the extra money i spent, I just might have got more than the paint and the neato Shinka label on each side?

Well, you got the paint, the interior is a little different, headlights and tailights are metal inside instead of the painted plastic and I think the wheels are polished too.

foam injection into the front cross-member and 14mm dampers (instead of 12mm) for improved corner handling. The beefier dampers alone allows you to lower the car without destroying your shocks.

BTW, it is only about 1500 difference compared to same-configured GT model and you get a special edition paint and leather (aside from suspension mods) so I think its worth it.

well good thankfully others think it was worth it. lol
i just like the fact it might have a decent re-sale value since it was a limited edition model.
