I'd put a laser stripe on it and maybe do a matching hood paint...not hood stripes, kinda like the Boss hood, except in a color to match the laser stripes...maybe silver blue. Tone on tone with the accent color darker.

I'd also make the interior a contrasting color like silver...and while your at it, paint the spoiler a dark silver too, too match the hood.

I'm not clear as to what "laser stripes" are? I like the idea of adding paint because I have knack for that......

Laser stripes were a reflective tape stripe that I know first appeared on Torino GTs in 1970. I have since seen them on Mustangs, Shelby's, as well as Mach Is, Rancheros and I believe Boss Mustangs. They look like regular stripes, and come in a variety of colors, however when light strikes them they are reflective. It is actually very subtle and unless the light hits them just right, you wouldn't even know they are reflective.

Here are couple from Barrett Jackson 2012

My camera flash does a good job of lighting them up.
