I'll post more pics later but just got my GT back from the Body shop where hood, chin spoiler, headlight splitter and louvers were added. Still debating on stripes or not, kind of like this look.

I'm not digging the splitters either. Sometimes I like them. But with having the hood and grill and chin spoiler, it seems too much to me. Stripes would be overkill. I think it would look better without the splitters and no stripes. But I really like what you had done with the chin spoiler. I've been thinking about doing that myself. Kinda of a GT/CS look at 1/2 the cost.

What front fascia did you use? I may add the California special in summer.
I also don't care for the headlight splitters.
I tend to say no stripes. If I did go with stripes, I would use something very subtle. Color choice would be crucial.

They prepped, painted and installed the quarter panel scoops, headlight splitters, chin spoiler and hood (which took a lot of extra work) for $800.

I was lucky found a local Ford dealer (Woltz & Wind) who doesn't have problem with doing mods both body and engine and you don't need to order the parts from them. I had seen a Saleen body kit they did and was impressed and was actually able to go into body shop ocassionally and look at what they were doing.

Thanks, Even though they are made by 3D Carbon, I order the headlight splitters from Cailfornia-Mustang http://www.cal-mustang.com/. they have a site called ponybuilder where you can design the mods on screen with the color of your car and see how it'll look before you do anything. That site is http://www.cal-mustang.com/.
