So kinda at a crossroads visual wise for my 00 GTP. Here is how she currently sits, freshly lowered with WBS Springs on GR2's.

Here is a old front picture before lowering...

So far what I have done...


Debadge
Properly VHT Tinted Tails/Headlights (Clear Coated)
Polished Stock Tail Pipes
Lowered (WBS Springs)
ASA Revolution 17's



My plans for the next few weeks are Tint (Thinking 35% all around), Retrofit W/ Demon Eyes, Get the rear end lower and replace the front and rear bumpers. For those wondering about the bumpers, the front has really bad Spider cracking and rear was hit and is scraped past the paint.


I really like the SD styling. I love the hood, chin and Spoiler. Just not sure how it would look on a redfire GTP.. So any other Redfires posting up would be nice..

So what should I add to the list of visual mods to do next? I need Suggestions. As far as performance, I am basically a Downpipe upgrade or maybe headers for a safe 3.4 Pulley drop.
 


I'd do the sd lip. Idk but I love your car I think it looks really sexy man. It's a beautiful color. Honestly, I could go without the GTP badge. As clean and sharp as your car is, it'd be best to keep it fresh.

And if performance isn't your utmost goal, maybe just a good tune for you? A 3.4 setup is great. But consider what you really want.
 
Make sure your axles a straight after lowering. If they are at a jacked up angle you will be replacing them quite frequently. ;)
 


Rear GTP badge was just done out of boredom and since most likely the rear bumper will be replaced with a better condition one soon, I said why not. Probably not gonna stay for the next bumper, kinda like the clean look without it.

As far was lowering, What would get the rear end lower? Besides of course cutting the springs more.
 
Bunch of Redfire cars i've seen before that I love the looks of...

I love this look, This would be the F1 hood, correct? I actually like how it looks without the SD Lip.

I will be doing Tint this weekend, Gonna end up doing it myself, If I can handle my old 1986 Firebirds rear hatch, I am sure I can handle the rear window on the GP.

I will be also looking into spacers for the rear, I want a meaner stance for the rear. I will see how a 1/4 Spacer does to push the wheel further for a better look.

For sure I will be doing a F1 hood in the future, Right now I am just getting a decent exterior look before diving into performance. Doing a LIM job this weekend and SSAC headers are coming probably by the end of the week or next week, then scanning and going 3.4 knock free, hopefully..

Nice set of wheels, I actually like my current wheels. Just need to get matching rear tires lol.

I am a big fan of the Mustang deep dish wheels like BoostenGTP was running, just didnt go that route since everyone does.
 
Not everyone goes Deep dish mustang wheels, just a few have, everyone goes stock mustang wheels that aren't deep dish. But I think Mike's FR500's he has for sale would look badass on a redfire car.
 


I second some exhaust tips, everything is really clean and polished on your car except those dirty vacuum cleaner tips :th_thumbsup-wink:
 
I do second the tinting. Changes the look more than you'd think. Then I think exhaust tips, remove the rear GTP badge (if you're going to de-badge, do it right) so the back is smooth and clean. Then either go for go-fast parts or save up and order in a F1 hood and a Spoiler (SLP or SD)
