a white or even maybe a yellow pin stripe to pull the white from the car or the yellow from the fogs out would look nice. yellow calipers too!

i would not do the strip, i like simple, you already have a lot going on you dont want it to look too busy, as far as the frront could you remove the plates, give it a cleaner look ( i know its not legal, but many still do it)

Thanks. Yeah I want the plates off but for those times I "shouldn't" be driving in the middle of the night, it keeps the cops from having any kind of reason to pull me over. I agree though, I don't want it to look too busy on my car, I mean I am not aiming for show car. Just something you don't see often. Thanks for feedback man.

white pins, just to give the wheels a little separation from the tires.
