o i thought you were asking which one to do..my bad...a rear disk conversion is getting rid of your rear drum brakes and putting disk brakes in like you have in the front...wayyy better stopping power...there is alot more to doing the conversion than what i have said but you get the idea

A nice shiny black, and some nice silver wheels would look nice. Or go the opposite of your friends Teg and go red with white wheels.
