    I haven't changed much about my car. I really enjoy driving it. I stood back last week and looked at the car it is plain. With paint or what ever, what can I do to give this thing a better look? upload_2017-6-30_15-56-52.png it now has chrome bumpers

    I think it looks great. Maybe paint the wheels body color and add some dog dish hub caps. Flip those rear shakles to where they belond and Bob's your uncle.

    Love that it is a coupe,I think a change in the wheels look would be a plus and make it pop.
    . Like one of these maybe 54 cad caps.jpg ?

    Flip the rear shackles and paint the wheels and get some full wheel covers. Some Sombreros would look real good on it. It doesn't need much more.
