I'd leave it as is, but that's just my opinion. Maybe a Formula S stripe.

I especially like the high tech, ultra advanced, no doubt still in the experimental phase "chiminea tuned" accessory intake...:D Or is that a tuned exhaust I'm just catching at a bad photo angle?

Lol, if ya already made up your mind why ask for opinions? A buddy has a blue car with the added hood scoop and spoiler painted black. I've mentioned in passing it would look nicer if they matched the car color.. then he said shove it up yer ***. A year later he's now saying he thinks it would look better if they matched the car color..I said shove it up yer ***! We've been friends since the 5th grade, best man at our weddings, and we give each other **** at every opportunity. What are good bud's for? Lol
I have a a friend that I have grow up with since my single digits also. His name is Ned! He is what I call FAMILY ( and that word has NOTHING to do with the word "Related") Family has it's own meaning for me, anyway When we got to - quite a bit ago - car was a blue with a vinyl top. Looked OK? We ( Rebecca and I ) like what we have done, even added black ( all satin) accents to the rear trunk panel. Our opinion is it brings out the FM3 color. If we modify we try and also cut weight yet keep it streetable. It's a driver. Latest weight ( per a Cat Scale) full of full but no "people". 3560 (52% Front 48% Rear). No bad ? For a B-Body with a 440 based, 727, full 10 point and some body ties.
My opinion it is yours do what you want, used it how you want, but JUST DRIVE IT. At all car shows it is the car that all the kids can get in, as they are told it has "Monkey Bars". attached is just a shot of a visitor at a show - who or which show?

You could be cultivating a new generation of B-Body fans.
 
That's the wife and I's purpose, when we go to shows. It's a driver. We walk around looking for the early teens and younger crowd. I'll walk up to one and in a "gruff" voice ask "Are you a car guy/girl"? While watching parents eyes, wife winks - they smile. And I wait till they look at their parents, that's usually when they get a nod to answer. Regardless of what it is they answer with I leave them with a little speech. " Well there's a guy over there (pointing) that looks just like me -by a PINK CAR with Monkey Bars in it - and if you go over there and tell him I SAID you can get in it, he'll let you. We usually get 1/2 a dozen or so. At one time actually had four in it at one time, 6 - 8 year old's having fun. Parents are amazed. We tell them they can't hurt it ( the master switch at rear is always off). However did have one of them at a show- 8 year old boy get it out of park. It started to roll though - so I climbed in applied the brakes. told him "NOT YOUR FAULT" ( the movement scared him)so I said " now we have to put it back". "Can you push it?" Of course I got a no. "Well I guess we have to start it then". Always has a bit of fuel in the float bowl , BUT! I told him once it starts you have to flip that switch ( fuel pump) and warned him "it's a bit loud and shakes a bit too" so get get scared! The look on his face when near 500 cubes and 600 plus HP catches was priceless!!!!!!!! It's a 1050 dominator so ya have to piddle with the throttle a bit to keep it idling and the smile just got bigger. Drop it into reverse and put it back in line. I think we made the little mans day! As a side note. Here's what we added to the scoop.
