Not sure if you guys remember me, I was on here quite a bit a while ago, but I've spent all my time on another site recently. Here's what I've done with my car, since I left.

Got the car in October ish, bone stock, here are some pics of what she looks like now. I just finished the Kenne Bell install a few weeks ago, did it all myself, and wow, I couldn't be more impressed with it. I'm running about 5 psi or so, and its quite a kick in the pants. Haven't gotten it on the dyno yet, thats coming soon. Anyway, I've also dropped it with Sportlines. Exhaust is an O/R H pipe paired with Flowmaster 40s. The wheels are 18x9 and 18x10 hypercoated FR500s (made for a 99-04, so the offset is wrong, but I think the stance is still badass). Tires are 285 out rear and 265 up front. Same GT500 spoiler from ebay that everyone seems to have. I painted the Roush quarter window louvers myself, with just rattle cans from autozone. Painted the brake calipers, and a few interior aluminum things. Lemme know what you think!

Welcome back! I've been following your buildup up over on "that other site". Your car sure looks damn good!

Looks great. Are those FRPP FR500's or where did you get them? I've been trying to find pony center caps for mine, but they don't take the normal large sized caps.

Looks great, nice stance as you say. I'd say you need something for the front end, chin spoiler, grille, different hood and it'd be damn near complete (IMO).

Put that oil seperator on that pcv line or you will regret it later when diagnosing intermittant mis-fires. They send it in the kit for a reason..

They are the hypercoated FR500 replicas, from americanmuscle.com. I originally bought them for my 04, but when that was totaled, I put them on this one. The center caps are from the stock bullits that came on my 04.

You've read my mind. I'm happy with how the rear looks, i'm working on the front now. I've almost convinced myself to get the shelby gt500KR hood. Its possible that'll be installed in the next few weeks. I'll probably do the CDC chin spoiler at the same time. Eventually, I want a new front bumper. Right now, my front runner is the Roush bumper, but I'm waiting to find something similar to the bumper from the Parnelli Jones stang. Does anyone know where you can find that?

Gotta love the O/R H & Flows sound...esp with the added whistle from the blower!
How many days are those tires going to last you????
