I have been thinking about going wingless, talking my louvers off and my honeycomb tail panel off. I will be getting H&R springs and Blistens down the road. What do you guys think?

This is what she looks like now.

I say keep the tail panel. Go wingless or get a 99-00 spoiler and install it moved back.
Paint the hood scoop red too!

On a side note, those tires look like they have the tread pattern of a truck in that last picture. lol

I think everything except the louvers looks good. The H&R's & bilsteins will make it look & handle 100% better 2!!!

Yeah those are my winter tires still. I'm going to be getting Black Bullitt rims and 255s up front 275s in the back. I just had the hood scoop and wing painted black (for free). Down the road I think I might get a 1995 style 3-1/2" cobra R hood

Going wingless is murder on your 3rd brake light cover. Maybe you should spray something on it for protection from the sun. Who ever had my car before me went wingless, and my 3rd brake light looks like it's been through a sand storm. The wing has been reinstalled, and moved back. I get comments about it all the time from people wondering what kind of wing I have.

Someone took the stock wing off, filled holes, repainted trunk lid. Then someone put the wing back on, drilled new holes and moved back 2 inches or so. I have left it alone, cuz I love it the way it is.

I think you car looks good as is except for those wheels. Get yourself some Black DD's. Those will really set your car off.

those mods + the wingless look will really give your GT a mean look.

First off, not a fan of the wingless look myself. Second, if I were you, I'd get a black vinyl Mach 1 style hood stripe decal and rocker panel stripes, along with a Roush style rear bumper blackout, and finish off the look you started. It'll look bitchin. In fact, I have that hood decal under my bed and I'm not gonna use it on my car, because I'm going with a Cobra R hood down the line. If you take off the wing, the off color scoop will look weird. Lastly, if you take off the honeycomb panel, let me know, because I'm looking for one lol.

Yeah I might get the vinyl Mach 1 style hood stripe and rocker panel stripes. Heck I can take the wing off and louvers off just to see what it would look like. Not like its hard to put those back on. Right now I have to save up for tires, rims, H&R springs, Blistens and MM Caster/camber plates. Then comes FRPP 3.73 gears and next year is the big mod, the mongoose kit.

I like the honeycomb grill-delete and the painted hoodscoop. If it were my car I would tint the windows, toss the louvers, ditch the honeycomb tail panel and replace the wheels. I would probably get rid of the spoiler, but the sun eats third brake lights quick.

PM me if you want the hood decal. You pay shipping and it's yours. I have both the Mach and Bullit ones, and the scoop blackout too. I don't need 'em. All I want in return is a pic of what it all looks like when done lol, because I think it'll look awesome. Also keep me in mind if the tail panel comes off.
