This is a common cheap brake duct cooling fix for HPDE/SCCA events. Seen it more than once. Now, I prefer flexible plastic down spout myself.

Any one who ever drove a fox body5.0 will tell you, that the brakes on the current stang are 239457239845732489573497% better and back then no one put these things on their car. This is something you'd see Cooter putting on someone's car.

TRAILER PARK!

So what is it are you, A "form over function" or a "function over form" guy? It seams that your all over the place with your opinions. Did you just suggest to someone to Buy a Shelby GT after starting a thread on how to build your own for alot less?

The foot well is so Fast and Furious...

I don't want dryer parts hanging off the front of my car, so I guess form over function.

For me, that's fine, as long as it's functional. If those ducts are leading to an aftermarket cold air, and it's backed by a good tuner.... that's fine in my book.

On the other hand, if this is a stock car, and they bought this "cold air kit" off eBay... I'd say they have some learning to do.

In general, I go by the rule of "to each his own", If you're into this, fine. I wouldn't have this on my car unless it made a difference. Unfortunately, I'm sure someone out there is claiming to have "ram air induction" because of this mod. That is the only reason I hate stuff like this. I'm all about backyard solutions and new ideas, just as long as you don't claim it to be something totally different.

I wouldn't mind some white lighting in the footwells. Ford did not give us enough interior lighting. But it would only light up when you open the doors or turn on the dome lights.

This is "function over form" because its done to cool the brakes when on the track autocrossing. Not everyone has all the money you must have.

This is "form over function" because the owner likes the looks.

Picture #2: Maybe the guy needs to find his feet to work the pedals.

Slightly diverging from the topic, I have always liked under-dash courtesy lights as you enter. Are things like that easy to put in?

$11,915 + any installation if applicable
Plus cost of car, which I would assume is around 27k - 28, you got yourself a

$39,000.00+ Mustang!!!

FUDGE THAT!

Buy a Shelby, while the Shelby sucks ass for what you pay, it's a far better deal than what you are doing, you just don't get the SC.

Then again, if you are spending that much money, try and find a Roush stage 3. Only one of them on ebay has any bids, my point being, if you wait and shop around, you may score a sweet deal on a Roush, which beats the GT500 with a warranty. Plus, the 07's will be replaced by the 08's late summer, there is no point in buying now.
