Good gosh those front brakes are HUGEEEEE

I think I would ditch the all white painted mirrors though. Too much white going on imo. Other than that its a sweet looking car

Im not feeling the brakes (they look like those attrocious caliper covers) and those tail lights.......

Otherwise the car looks killer.

Looks great! Except the tail lights... combined with that body kit they make the rear end look nothing like a Mustang.

hotstang I have a question about the fitment of the Saleen kit? First which kit did you order? How was the fitment? Also did you need to adjust your tail pipes to fit with the rear bumper?

I like the overall look however I think the yellow calipers are the wrong color need to be black or white. A smoked standard tail light would be much better. And the base of the side mirror would look better black.

A very unique looking car overall.

I agree, they're definitely not bad. I guess I'm just partial to the normal mustang taillights since they've been the signature since 1964.

I went through cruizin concepts first for my saleen kit. I ordered the urethane one. It was in such bad shape I couldn't use it. I had to go to war with those folks because they said it would require "work" for fitment. And by horrible I'm talking for example the rear bumper was so narraw side to side it would have to be cut down the center and have had maybe a 2-3in exention put on to make it wider. Were just talking nightmarish condition. I did get them to get her back....... I had them then send me a fiberglass one thinking that even if it's that bad at least fiberglass was easier to mod and work on than Urethane. It was in fact horrid. I think with almost any of these saleen kits (even from saleen themselves) you going to be in for a very expensive endeavor to get a finished product that looks showroom. I think they are all crap to be honest. My rec is to do fiberglass. Bottom line is be prepared for a bunch of prep cost and things like that from the shop you have do the work. And....don't expect a showroom like finish unless you want to dump some huge cash. You can have it come out very good, but showroom will be damn hard.

And.....to the guy that made the suggestion about caliper color. I was going to red but honestly..... I spent so much damn money on those things I just wanted them to be noticed. I also have a habit of switching things like wheels up. I think white saleens is next. But no matter what I do I thought the yellow would match and stand out. Black is nice but just too mute, and don't think it would look good with black wheels.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Actually the body parts from Saleen themselves used to be awful. Multiple nightmare threads about how bad they were!
