First I know this post is worthless without pics, but I moved and I cant find the cable to download pics from my cam. Pics will be forthcoming.

Im sure someone will remind me anyway.

I installed my GT bumpers and exhaust. I had the bright GT rims already. I ran into a guy here in town who shaved all his emblems so I got those for free and installed them too.

Unless you are a Mustanger and know better you cant tell its not a GT.

Congrats, I think the GT bumpers/wheels conversion is a cool way to go.

However, don't expect props on the GT badges. You will probably get a lot of not so positive comments from both V6 and GT owners. For me, I have no intention of pretending my car is a GT, which is why i have the V6 badges all over it. Not my cup of tea...

But, opinions aside, if you like the ride that is all that matters.

It certainly will make the oil changes (and other services) interesting!

I have no GT parts on my car... single exhaust... And I would bet 99.9% of the people at the car shows thought my car was a V8/GT... Once in a while some one would point out that it was a V6... but a majority of the time I would have to point out to people my car only has 6 cylinders!

You know, it's funny. My last car was a '92 Mustang 5.0 and everyone was always surprised when I told them it had a V8. With my new car, everyone is surprised it doesn't have a V8.

this makes me so sad, to think you feel so insecure about owning a v6 so much so that you had to put a gt badge on your mustang is pathetic. And dont consider this a personal attack but please, be proud of your v6, my dad has a v6 and any gt owner who disses the v6 is ignorant. any v6 owner who puts gt badges on their v6 is well i cant even find the word for it. its just absurd. be proud of your mustang for what it is, and dont make it try to be something its not. i mean i have driven both, quite a bit, my gt is comming in the next couple months. and i would not want to insult any v6 owner. so my question is why? why do you feel such a need to make your car something its not?

Well said, I was proud of my 95 5.0 LX and I am proud of my 6. Either way it is a mustang!!!

pretty lame if you ask me, the sound of the exhaust will be sure to give it away though...
