If yours is an actual GT5S, I agree with Jim and don't touch it if you prefer to retain originality and current/future value. But if you don't give a crap about that, then of course go for what you want and change this or that to your own desires. I respect originality and enjoy seeing those examples more like museum pieces to admire; but for enhanced modern appearance and for extra engine performance that matches the appearance of such an exotic car then do your own thing to the body and/or engine. If you do change even the windshield though, if I was an original preferred buyer (or even original admirer), personally I would balk at seeing the change from original even if I could change it back. Yes I agree with others, done on a black car would look great as a "modified" car. My car is black & windshield blends nice and has some black shading to the outside as well:

My red car has the original design windshield, and looks kind of bulky to me in comparison. If I ever got into doing additional stuff to this car, I would do the windshield as well. The windshield is a subtle change, but we know from many modified hot rods, etc., such minor changes add up to enhance appearance without being too obvious or looking overdone.
