Forgive the quality of the pics. I used an old 2MP camera I had laying around.

I like it better without the pony myself. It was a whole repaint plus shaving of the GT badges, Ford emblem on the trunk, filling of the holes on the decklid, and the two tone hood and bumper treatment. Total it was around $2400.

I think it looks good! I like how the black paint on the hood matches up with the grill. I agree that a pony would look better in the grill, but certainly not necessary. However, I would deffinetly rather see some new rims on the car. I mean, don't get me wrong, the bullits are alright, but some nice silver or black wheels would be much better IMO. Still, nice looking stang though!

Yeah I understand the pony would look good, but the whole theme I was going for was to take away everything that says "Mustang" on the car except the car itself and clean it up overall. The bullitts are gonna stay, Im going to get a set of DD's for the rear, and then tint the windows in the spring. Black wheels will never touch this car though.

2 things. To me it would look awesome with the pony in the grill, and some foglights to fill those holes. But the car looks awesome!

Exactly what I was going to say. I think the saleen body kit would look great on your car. I dont like your front bumper much. Great stuff though.

You know I really like the way that looks for a few reasons:
1) obviously the really nice paint job they did especially the strips that lines up perfect with the body lines
2) the no emblems factor (If I had the extra $$ to do that I would have done the same)
3) The front bumper. It looks so good on our cars.
The only thing is I personally think it looks kinda bareassed without a spoiler.

I agree, black fr500s and a window tint would finish the look off. Look good though!!

nice scheme. love the clean-ness. but I agree that you need a wheel change. I'd go for chrome wheels, not sure which.

I agree with the others, you car looks so bad ass but then you see the side shot and eww. I love bullits but silver is too boring for your sweet car.

I know you are anti-black wheels but with your color scheme you have working you definatly need some black 18" FR500 or Ford GT Replicas.

Chrome is cool too, these are what I want to replace the FR500s with.
