Alright, getting my project started. After having her a week, here is what I got.

First things first, me and Roxy have a new ridding buddy (I put one in all my cars...I guess I never really grew up lol). His name is Chester

Domo (450x800).jpg

Next, removed the dealership license plate frame and added a red one...

...side mirror visors...

...decals from sixspeedgraphics (they make all mine)...

...ST side skirt decals...

...20% window tint...

Alright, not bad for week one. The only thing I didn't post was my Boomba Racing BOV but I'm pretty sure we all know what that sounds like. Also my yellow fogs. I still got some more things coming in the mail (which is generally every week because lets face it, I'm addicted to this. But then again....aren't we all?)
Coming mods:

Black and red "Ford" steering wheel overlay.
Black and red Cobb Knob.
Custom Sub/Amp set up...maybe.
Red hash stripes (Euro style).
Boomba Racing intake mani spacer.
Cobb RMM.
Boomba Racing Throttle body spacer.

...Then I'll really start getting into the good ish XD Stay Tuned! (next update will be Monday most likely)

Lol it took me a sec to realize what you were talking about until I looked at the pictures again. Completely forgot I had that back there.

Do the side mirror visors... help? I mean, I've had it turn into a bee hive like cone during a nasty snow storm with heated side mirrors once in the past decade. Just trying to wrap my head around the function of a visor there.

I personally just like the look of them. But I guess for functionality reasons, it would help you see "better" during harsh rain and other forms of in climate weather. As far as I know, rain typically falls straight down (because of gravity or something) - giving wind variances but I'm no weather man so I'm not exactly sure if that information is accurate. (wasn't trying to be a jerk, just a bit of fun sarcasm lol)

Lol Looks like fun in your car! Better to have the seats occupied for sure.
Thanks to your photo I just noticed another difference for the USA and Aussie cars. The little mirror winglets. They are cool and we don't have them.

I'm not one for stripes but the contrast does look punchy. Looks good.

Thank ya! I'm the guy who typically does the offset stripes but I figured I go with something different this time :p

Nope, I only have it on one side because I screwed up the other one. I'm actually hoping it comes in today.

Those stripes are too thick...
Nah, I don't think so. I wanted something different and eye catching and I went with what would appeal to me because let's face it, I'm the one that's gotta drive it right? Lol I think there just perfect.
