My 05 Redfire V6 has GT bumpers, full GT exhaust, GT sway bars, 17in bright wheels, 10psi Procharger.

After 4 years of ownership Ive thought about selling, but looked around and dont really see anything I like any better.

So Im thinking about some changes:

I would like stripes, but dont want them on the bumpers or roof. On the back I would like them to come over the trunk lip but stop before they reach the rear panel.

I like the looks of the white stripes, but also like gold on Redfire.

Any ideas where I can find stripes like Im looking for and any pics of a Redfire with gold?

Wheels: I like fanblades but they seem hard to find, are there any 18in chrome takeoffs?

Grill: I have the GT grill with fogs, Im thinking about the bullitt grill with no fogs. Opinions?

Im going to install leather seat covers.

I cant do a chin spoiler, I barely clear the driveway as it is.

Any other changes I can do in teh garage that will change/impreove the appearence?

You could get the Cervini Type III Chin spoiler or hack a GT500 to fit, you'd only be losing minimal clearance anyways since it sits almost flush to the bottom of the bumper.

Barely means no room for error. Im going at an angle as slow as I can and still think Im going to hit.

Stripes: 2005 Mustang Stripe Painter

The Bullitt grill looks awesome!


Have you thought about a rear tail panel, mirror (Agent 47), rear wing and/or window louver swap? Those all make a huge difference in the looks and fairly simple to do yourself.

I'm thinking about sidestripes too. should be a relatively easy mod and does wonders to the look of the car not to mention it can be removed if you don't like it. Some places make those for DIRT cheap.

Also you might want to consider messing with the headlights. You might want to smoke them or tint them using some kind of laminate, that's also in the works for me especially once I get the H.I.Ds
