Chrome looks good on anything, and black would look good with your color. I vote for anything other than the 1995 Cobra R wheel, you see those everywhere. 18's will fit, 17's would probably be a better choice.

For the front, keep it to a 235/50 or a 245/45 to keep it from having tire rub. In the back you should be able to go to a 275/40 and keep the tire height the same, meaning you don't have to reset the speedo.
My opinion, for headlights I vote clear, but smoke would look good. For the rear, I vote to keep the LX light, that's the best looking taillight for the Fox to me, but the smoke would also look good on there.

I think the black outs look pretty good on just about any fox. And you can get them for about 25$, which is much cheaper then a new set of lights.

If you want something different, take a look at the TSW Kayalami's on my '93 LX. They are 17X8s all around with 245/40s. The wheels are available in silver (what I have), chrome and black.

As far as headlights and tail lights, I like the stock look. Heck, except for the wheels, PIA driving lights on the front and tinted windows, my whole car LOOKS stock.

Guys the 1 piece headlights on the market are all JUNK. They condensate they don't fit right on the foxes and good luck aming them.We do allot of shows,and I warn people over the phone that buy em.

The 6 piece fox lights all look classy,and you can aim the main beam. As for wheels what about the chrome 5 spoke pony wheels.Those look great on anything,and for some reason not everyone has them.

Just my .02
