Hiya and welcome aboard.
I'm going to move this over to the TALK section. Tech is where you ask questions like: What is the procedure for / How do I / or list a set of specifications or instructions of your own.
The TALK section is where we hang out and give opinions etc... You'll find the most help for your question here.

What's your goal? If the car is stock or near stock, there is a level of desirability and some case to simply restore.
My opinion, ditch the aftermarket headlights, put in some clean oem style lights, restore the peeling windshield trim, and get a set of rim (but save the 10 holes)
Other than that, the stock look is in these days, and clean stockish cars are very desirable.
Of course, it's your car and you can do what you'd like

- cut and buff your paint
- polish up your rims
- paint your trim
- Tint the windows
That will make a huge difference. Other than that, the car looks good as is. Whatever you do, do not get
- Neon lights
- Rear window louvers
- headlight covers
- A cowl hood
- rear tires that stick out 3 inches on each side
- a rear wing that sticks up 10 inches
Agree with Mike.
I would cut/ buff the paint, tint the windows and see what could be done to remove that red stripe. A solid black car

Me too! Must be a t-top thing.
I dunnot. Maybe on a 69 fastback, but not on a foxbody. They just look out of place imo. They were never a factory option.
Well shoot Mike, you're probably going to have something to say about my chromed curb feelers then too, aren't you?:zombie:

Hmmmm... What's the grill versus fog light ratio?
Where's the rule book?
Can someone get the rule book?
uh, no as someone actually did it
Hell, if I bought a gt350r with those expensive carbon fiber wheels, I'd do that too.
$15k a set is what they go for

There's always the don't park next to a curb option.
I drive a plain-ol GT and I'm downright OCD about where it gets parked. Always outskirts of the patking lot..
