I like it!!
I always wondered how a Mustang would look with the 17 in Steel Wheels off of a Crown Vic PI .I would like to see those on a Fox Notchback in black.

Seriously, I didn't even notice the girl in the first pic before you mentioned it...

Either I'm getting old or gay

On topic....I will reserve my judgement for when the car is lowered. Props for going against the grain though

Lowering it will make a huge difference I think. I would paint the tail light bezels black and have darker headlights. They are however 100% better looking then black bullitts and black fr 500s.

I really only think it would work if you painted the car black white doors and put some lights on top. I don't know, when I see those, I just see V-6 wheels with missing hubcaps.

Sorry, I don't like it at all. Even with the car lowered, the wheels still make it look like a 4x4.

I already have lowering springs that aren't installed yet just because I live in a condo complex and apparently we aren't allowed to work on our cars here.... even IN the garage. WTF?

I wasn't paying attention to this thread for a while, and didn't notice you need a place to put in the springs. If you can't find anyplace closer, you're welcome to head up to my place in West LA - my landlord doesn't care what I do. Heck, I did my Cobra conversion (which included swapping the engine & tranny) in my parking spot! I've even got the correct OTC spring compressor for the front springs that we can use.

You can also just do the car work in the garage and just close the door. I have no respect for HOA's, but you'd have to risk being caught and be willing to deal with whatever the penalties are.

I'll keep that offer in mind lol. I have a friend with a house that might let me use his driveway this weekend. I got my Cobra front brakes in about a week ago from Summit so we decided to do both at the same time. Hopefully this comes through and we can spend a few hours knocking this out.
