Awesome looking car already!!
I would do the wheels/tires like you stated and the lowering of the car.
My personal opinion, I kinda like the hood. Gives it some character! lol
And the other thing I would do is something with the exhaust tips. I like the dump offs under the rear bumper also, not like pictured. Just an idea. (But, to each his own.)
Nice car and keep us updated please!
