I couldn't help myself... I went ahead and ordered the side scoops, window scoops, blackout panel, and ducktail spoiler last night. Once I receive and install them, I will post up more picture. All that is left now, as far as cosmetics go, is picking a hood.

Ok, that's cool. Wasn't trying to be a jerk to the guy. Besides, I think everyone deserves their own thread to show off their ride. But I hear ya'.

I saw a car yesterday that looks very much like this. It had stripes slightly darker than body color. That was nice.
I think such stripes would really set it off. Black stripes I don't think would be quite right but something as I said a bit darker than body color would be subtle and a very nice touch. Just a suggestion.

01blowngt, do you have any pics lowered before the wheel swap? I am looking into those springs also. I have the same color car you do.

Man, your mustang looks great.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the car with the stock wheels. Sorry. It didn't look too bad lowered with the stock 17's. As far as stripes go, I am thinking about them, but I won't go with anything darker. I like the way the Tungsten Gray looks with Silver stripes:



But I won't decide about the stripes until the other mods to the exterior are done. Help me pick a hood:

In that thread you will see the other mods that I have already bought for my car which are currently being painted. Thanks again.

Looks nice man!

I think if you put those side scoops and the ducktail spoiler you're set. The rear deck lid blackout is pretty nice too. I'm not a big fan of the window scoops at all though.

What lowering springs did you go with?

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit springs on the car. I have always used Eibach springs after trying many others, I really think they are the best. As far as the window scoops go, I already have them and they are currently being painted. Believe me though, if they don't look good once installed, I won't hesitate for one minute tearing them off and trashing them.

01 I think you should get the KR hood and go wih that. I love the stripes the real KR has being that light bue color, but then again, you may get slammed for cloning
