View Full Version : Want your opinions for MODS
Ok, I want all of your opinions. I have decided to say fuggit and go for some mods. Im mixing and matching some things here, and I want to know if you think it will look good or not. My plans are:
Kaminari fiberglass hood
Aero X-Treme front bumper
Street weapon side skirts
I still havent seen a single rear bumper that doesnt make me gag, I dont like any of them so I think Im going to leave my stock bumper alone. Will that look horrible? should I even give a crap?? I like the way the back looks now (stock) altho I would still like to get Melissa's spoiler. but the rear bumper is fine the way it is in my opinion....but if I add all of this, will it look crappy??
please let me know all, I value your thoughts and opinions.
Thank you! :banghead:

Dont mind me just passing through. :)
If you have a 2001 cougar or better...i like the rear the way it is. 99's just seem to need something. You're right...all aftermarket replacement rears right now suck big time :)
Something you may not have considered is picking up visteon side skirts. They work really well with big open mouth bumpers. Ill attach a pic of a dragon Z bumper with visteon sides, and no rear. Looks hot to me :)
Also....not having a rear gives you a chance to pull the emphasis of your car from being big ground effects heavy, to the total car. Adding a nice spoiler will give you a complete look. I'd personally recomend a WW Commando if ya can or maybe even a mini-commando might do the trick.
Hood wise...i think you'd be golden on the Kam Hood, cant really go wrong. Also depending on your car, i might even suggest doing an OEM carbon Fiber look, say with a blue/red car...carbon fiber would look very sweet. OEM fashion is always sexy.
So heres my list :)
Aero X-treme Bumper
Visteon Side Skirts
WW Commando Spoiler
Kam or OEM Carbon Fiber Hood
ok well let me state off the bat....99 laser red atx, has every top option you can possibly have that came stock (leather, roof, trc control...everything that was offered is in my car).

Hmm...99 rear bumper...i'd say maybe pick up a WW rear, or nothing at all....maybe get a dual exhaust with quad tips...thatd make a nice statement :)
thanx for your input guys....Im gonna check out a few more styles and make my decision, but as of right now, what i listed above is what Im going for.
peace

Yeah, i was just gonna say, if you dont like any rear bumpers you should get the WW one. Im not sure if you saw my car at the meet but i have the WW rear and sides. If you are gonna have a nice front like that with sideskirts, i would definitely suggest a rear cause it will seem like something is missing. The ww one isnt flashy at all, it will basically just make your car look complete because it will slightly lower it a little to match the rest of the car with the front and the skirts and widen it a little because of the way they angle it. And in my opinion, i absolutely LOVE the kam hood, it is by far my favorite. I dont really like the carbon fiber look, especially for a red car, but thats just my opinion. I would say if you wanna go all out for performance get the CF one and paint it red except the middle piece. Everyone else i think would look great

Here is a pic of my car, i know i need a better one that you can actually see the rear and my car isnt dirty, but this is the best i have right now, you can see how it will lower it though the match the sideskirts if you do get the streetweapon. Ok forget it, cant do it. It says the file is too big. Dont know how to resize it or anything like that. The max size is 128 KB, mine is 1,734 KB, a little help hereeeeee.
this wont work either (http://C:\My Documents\My Pictures\u0003.jpg)

Ok, just forget it. It was so big it wouldnt even let me send it as an attachment. It was 5 KB over the size it would let me. OH well. thanks anyway
Thanks Matt....I actually did see yours, I checked out your whole car, and I see your point on making it look "complete", your right. As far as the kam hood, I really dont like the carbon fiber look either (just my opinion), I'm going with the fiberglass hood, all one color.
