nice car.

personally i would keep it subtle.

wheels, black headlight surrounds and grill and clear indicators.

might look like mine then

getting rid of the side moldings will leave holes and marks. you'll need to weld them up, that means paint, the laser stripes will need to come off aswell and it can be very tricky and costly.

try this link http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo ... =590981431

Just paint you existing surrounds. take them off. four screws in each surround, four in the grill, remove the ford badge and paint them then refit.

another trick is to paint the metel bezels that hold the headlights in. had mine done white, the white on black really looks good. if you stare hard enough at the pics you can see what i mean
