I received my '08 at the end of December and have yet to post any real pics of it. Now I have finally got everything aftermarket that I initially want installed on it, so now I am posting the pics.

I'm interested what you all might think... both positive and negative feedback.

Thanks!

I like it. The elements all seem to work with each other. It also is not overdone, which is a big plus in my opinion.

Not feeling the headlights and taillights, and I think your pony on the grill should be moved more to the outside. Otherwise, looks good. I definitely like the wheels and "MUSTANG" letters on the back. But I'm confused. Your profile says California (sunny and warm) but those pictures are in Utah (snowy and cold). In any event, I'm interested to see some cleaned up pictures.

Needs bigger wheels, a drop and for god sakes a wash.

I'm with the others on the head lights/tail lights.....they're not doing it for me.

THANKS so far for all of your replies.

I knew that not everyone would like the headlight/tail light combo. Thanks for all you being honest though.

YES!!! It needs a wash! But it is supposed to rain and snow here for the next 4 days... so I'm a little hesitant about cleaning it up.

PS- I've mentioned this before but you may not have seen it. I have homes in San Francisco and Utah. The vehicle and my primary residence are in Utah... hence the pics.

Thanks again for the feedback. Really appreciate it!

I'll get more pics up when it is cleaner.

Thanks for the note.

WASH- Yes it does!

Big wheels and drop - I never have liked "lowrider" looking mustangs so that will never be done.

My idea for the car was to combine "old school" elements and some Eleanor touches. Hence, why this thing is not completely modern.

Thanks again!!

You know what man? I haven't had to do it yet. But it will be very exciting when the time comes.

But seeing as how I have just a V6... the G-force will be a little limited.

Now that you mention it, I remember that. I'm very absent minded. I was very confused at first because I saw San Fran, but snow lol. Definitely post up some pics when you get it cleaned up.

Oh my god the sight of that salt spray all over that car is killing me. Please wash it and retake the pics and burn those old ones.

Car looks good though or will.

It took quite a while to see that you put "FORD" on the hood as well. It blends in with the stripes(in the pics). I like all, but the hood lettering and the lights. I'm also one to support the, "It's mine and I do what I like" theory The one thing I might suggest is the SHR honeycomb tail panel. It definitely has that old school look and helps fill out the rear by making the area flush with the lights I love the BOSS graphics and just may do it when I add the Steeda cowl hood.

I think some clear/black turn signal/parking lights would go good with those headlights, they are similar to mine.

Finally, jeez.
I know you ordered the car the same day as me almost, it must have been killing you to see all those pics of mine dancing around SoCal...
I like it.
I got LED tail lights as well. I feel they are safer, light up quicker and really grab the driver's attention. A split second is all it takes.
The head lights are interesting, do they work better or are they just for looks?
The tires look too fat and the wheels look too small for such an aggressive looking car. I wouldn't go overboard, but maybe 18 inch and 245-45 tires?
The stripes look good, but...
But if your car is going to say "Boss" on it, you had better be able to back it up a little. That said, how about a supercharger?
It's just money, right...
