New mods suggestions needed...

I just finished putting 3 mods: the OEM 19's, aluminum running board and titanium grills. The 4.6 exhausts will come next (this month hopefully). Do you guys think i should replace the amber tails and side markers with clear? and about the head light, i will do AE once it is convenient and clear the amber parts too. But for now, i could replace the tail lights and sidemarkers, give me an idea if it will look good with red ext. someone said ambers look better with red, but i like the look of clear. Thanks

Don't forget the matching vent grills in titanium... The clear lights will make the car look newer.

4.6 kit would look very nice on that color.

4.6 front and rear would really stand out with that color. I wanted to get one at my time of purchase but it really started to look orangish to me...

I do not think there is a hood air vent in titanium color available. You'd have to paint them iirc.
