Elegant vs. Aggressive S550 Build?

[MidwayJ]

I think wheels can make a big difference. Bronze or silver wheels with intricate spoke patterns look more elegant to me, while black is more aggressive. However, bronze goes better with blue, ruby red, white, or black. Race red is probably a better color to make look aggressive but I think something like this pulls off a more elegant look.

It's more what you don't do. No window tint, no stripes or stickers, no spoilers. Red isn't an luxury color, on Caddies they use red on convertibles with white interior to make them look sporty.
I agree with the bright wheels, Crager wheels with whitewalls, lowered stance. Pony grille, chrome trim around side glass. Less is more.

I have to agree less is more if your going for elegant. Although I'm not sure under body lights will ever be classified as elegant. Not that I dont love myself some led lighting but the two sound contradictory. Lots of guys love to lower their cars and I usually would but I like the stance of the mustang with the pp1 as it is. I kept mine simple outside. Metal metallic with pp1, blacked out badges and smoked the turn signals. Its clean and hides a dark corner nicely. "The car looks sinister" is probably the most common comment I get. While I have plenty of mods left on my list, the exterior is done. Simple and sweet.

Elegant - pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.

If you really mean elegant then keep it simple. The S550 is one of the most elegant cars on the road today.

Wheels - the single most looked at part of you car.
Lowering - more aggressive than elegant but if you like the look, do it.
Front grill - a lot of elegant looks out there.
Trim - chrome, like a Bullitt, or blackout. Also badges if you’re going blackout.
Tinting - windows definitely. Lights, maybe.

And lastly, PPF & ceramic coating to protect it all. Nothing is more elegant than a car with paint that looks like a mirror a foot deep!

Are you a Yugo?


Also, do a drop and bronze or silver wheels. Tint your windows a bit and call it a day. Skip the body kits, wings and neons. You want elegant, you can't have over the top stuff. If you want aggressive, go wide body with neons and take your car that way.

Check out Anderson Composits, they offer the best fitting out of the box parts on the market.

Damn, I wouldn't have picked bronze for Orange Fury but your car looks incredible.

Very nice combination of aggressive and classy/elegant. Although you should change your door sill color to red.

I don't drive the car at night to much, so it hadn't occurred to me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Go elegant. Most of the “aggressive” mustangs you see out there are EcoBoosts. Most of the ecoboosts in my area have a loud horrible sounding exhaust with a huge wing fender flares underbody lighting and basically anything else they can stick on the car. Sometimes I question why they get the EcoBoost when their car has the difference in price between an EcoBoost and a GT in plastic add on parts. Not to mention the extra drag from the huge wings and splitter probably gets them the same gas mileage.

Thanks man. I was on the fence about the combo, but then I saw @Ewheels car and it pushed me over the fence. Now I can't get enough of it.

Could put a parachute on back an ecoboost and floor it everywhere and still be ahead of a gt per mpg lol.

Who in their right mind goes to a dealership, commits to the car payments, insurance premiums, and maintenance cost then regrets the mileage, Ecoboosts are for the daily driver that couldn't afford the associated ownership costs of a GT.

Nothing wrong with owning a EcoBoost, enjoy and customize them. It's about having fun.

But your comment would be the same as me saying a GT is a better option than a GT 500, reality check for me is a GT500 is out of my range. But I can build something comparable and have fun.

God bless those who can pony up for a GT500. If I could, I would.
