Cosmetics!!!!!! Let it begin!

[K-BL]

Ok, I was checking out my taurus, thinkin of things that could make it, well a tad more tasteful (not rice). I know we all do this about anytime we check out our cars. But I was thinkin...."Hey, maybe chrome fender trim would look good"... I've seen it before on other SHO's
But I've not known where to buy it.... Does anyone have pics, and or a place for it to be aquried....

thanks alot you guys

You should be able to get that stuff at PepBoy's and Autozone. What color is your SHO?

green with moca interior

I have Lund headlight and taillight covers on my SHO and I highly recommend them, they fit much better then my old GTS covers. A Colagan custom bra is also a nice cosmetic mod.

Well looky here...a whole post with nothin but green SHO's thumbs_u I'll agree with HotBox, head and taillight covers look nice as does the bra. Biggest eye candy mod for a car is the wheels, they make a big difference. Tint is always good too, but I'm not to sure about the fender trim. squint

Thanks dude thumbs_u I was actually toying with selling them.....maybe, maybe not.

They're not my cup of tea at all, but then again, I don't like blackouts, clear corners, car bras, etc...

I like wheels along the lines of DeaconBlue's - a simple 5-spoke, or RI-SHO's rims in a smaller size.

what about volvo T5R wheels? any body got a set of those? i got mine on my 95 MTX(green, best color!). still need a digi cam so i can post some pics.

hey K-BL i think the cheapest cosmetic things you can do is choose a color to fill in the SHO letters with. you can buy filler's or do what i did and spend about 3 1/2 hours taping and spray painting the letters red on my 90. My car is balck and i think the red and black combo looks great, i also have matching whipers and calipars you wouldn't think it but, it really does change the whole look of your SHO what color is it buy the way

removed "Taurus" from rear.
had a bra, which ruined the paint in front, not only scuffed it, but consensation caused paint to form little bumps. I have never had a rock chip the front since I removed it 3 years ago.
Thinking of putting in a small color LCD tv screen inside (maybe replace rear view mirror with the screen, use with rear facing color video camera, then removing side mirrors. Less wind noise, sleeker appearance, better view with wide angle lens!
