IMHO, Primary colors and black only look right on the top performance models of ANY make/model vehicle. You don't have a 4.6 or 4.8 so leave it silver.

I disagree on this one...if the person knows how and what to do to make it aggressive..then we can go ahead....

That's why I prefaced the statement with "IMHO". I've always been of the modding mind "form follows function". There's a local Imola Red E53 3.0 with 275/315 20" tires, IS ground effect package, CF wing lip over rear window, etc. Looks out of place on that truck.

Yes. During modding I always keep in mind "have the beans to back up the look" and mod like Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus Cars) and not like Martha Stewart.

The Henessey modded Viper in my avatar looks box stock but in fact has 690 hp. The Lingenfelter ZR1 has over 550 hp. Both look stock except for the "FEAR THIS" logos in the rear windows!

If you are going to change wheels, go with some lip. The X "needs more cowbell" in the wheel dept!
