It already had the Harley truck headlights when i got it and the 6.0 grille . Swapped the headlights out for the ones with the clear reflectors .

Swapped the grille out for chrome and the 6.0 bumper .

This is what it would have looked like stock

The header panel needs to be trimmed for the lights other wise they bolt in. The bumper wasnt too bad . You need the filler, bumper, main brackets, side support brackets, foglight brackets, And the filler gets painted body color. I got the whole bumper with everything together on ebay for 550 to my door.

Then i had the filler painted along with the mirror caps, Door handles (Mine were textured black, And oem fender flares which i need to still install.

So last night was about 55 degrees before the sun dipped in. We broke the cars out after having rain that washed all the salt away . I can't thank @Mustang5L5 enough for answering all my questions with these brakes. I don't know why I waited so long . This car stops better then I ever could have imagined.

The new Mickey Thompson et street s/s is a killer street tire too .

So I'd be lying if I said I was totally in love with the 17inch pony wheels . There are days where I'm really happy with the decision and other days where I just think the car looks anemic . Not sure what to do or what I'd even put on the car if I were to change it.

I know my opinion will be unpopular, but I have been one if the few that does not like the Pony R's. The proportions do not look right to me. I prefer old school pony wheels. That being said, it's hard to ridicoul your car, you have done a great job with it style wise and performance wise.

I just think the original wheels in 16 are way to small esp by today's standards . A 17 inch wheel looks right at home on the car for a street wheel .

I'm just not sure . Maybe some more time on they'll grow on me . I've only had it out 2 times so far with them .

I love spending other people's money. Some polished CCW's would look

The pony r's have grown on me. I wasn't a big fan...but I like them on your car.

Just cuz it looks anemic doesn't mean it has to run that way. Hell, I was trying to keep mine 100% factory looking from the outside, but I lost that fight. I say you keep it subdued looking and beat up on the unsuspecting bullies.
