Lol, thanks, yeah they did it the day before I left for Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach, SC. Thoe pics are from down there taken by others. The pinstripe isn't done under the hood or the door jambs, as I have to wet sand and buff those areas, but they did a good job on the stripe around the car.

But to OP, what size tires do you plan to run? That might dictate the stance big time.

not sure yet, on tiresize that's another thing up in the air, But I think coil over's would be a good idea.

I went with 255/35/18s out front and 285/35/18s out back. They look good, but the fronts do rub the fenders. The 255s are actually slighty yoo narrow too, but a 265 would rub even worse. I have yet to stretch the fenders out, which will cure the issue. Out back they seem to fit fine. I will know more when I yank the tires off again, see if there are marks on the inner wheel wells or the tire/rim.

Maybe my car was just different, but why are your MAF sensor wires so long and zip tied to the other harness?

Where in NJ did you get the GT? I'd imagine somewhere in the north jersey area being that you are pretty far up there in NY state...that being said i can pretty much guarantee that you drove nearly night past my house haha.

Ditto.


I knew you wouldn't stay away long. But I must say that I wish you would have kept the Cobra!

Only thing that i think would make it look better would be a grill insert but maybe its just me. It looks great how it is now

Also, what size tires?
