Finally got around to going wingless. Had to get another trunk lid so that it wouldn't have 12 holes to plug up but I got it for pretty cheap and the color and quality is perfect. Then filled in the holes with the ol' plastic plug and touch-up paint method. I know some people don't love wingless, but I think its freaking bad ass looking. Sorry, I don't have a proper camera. Its okay though because the car is so dirty right now due to pollen/rain that at least with the crappy camera you can't tell so much.

Looks great! I am debating going the wingless route myself. That or a s281 wing. A nice set of borla tips would really set the rear off!

Yeah I'm thinking about getting some tips. I've got weld-in flowmasters right now and would rather just get some nice tips as I'd rather spend money elsewhere right now than on a whole new exhaust.

Thats exactly what I did! welded in 40 series and tack welded in Borla style tips. I was thinking about running the slp tips but im glad I chose the 4 inch rolled tips.

Tails are tinted now...You made me want to go wingless now.

Well I think you've made me want to get those exact tips. I think I'll plan on getting tips welded on whenever I get some FLSFCs (hopefully within the next few months) and have them installed at the same time. I really dig the 4" tips though.

Looks great man. I love the clean look.
I got the new trunk in my garage. Only a matter of time before i'll prep and paint it. Excited! Going to throw on the cobra sides on and the wingless trunk.

Lucky. I'll bid on some cobra skirts on ebay every once and a while and then they jump up to $400. Some day when I'm feeling good on money and plan on getting the car repainted I'll pick some up. I definitely try to keep an eye out on craigslist should some come up for a killer deal. No luck so far though.

Do you have a shop in mind for the FLSFC's? If not, I know a shop in south Austin that is real reasonably priced, and does decent work. They did the subs on my LX and my old Cobra.

Thanks, I'm actually up in the Dallas area now since I've graduated and started working. I've located a place near me up here that I'll probably try out. Thanks though!

I'll go ahead and be the jerk and say I hate wingless Mustangs almost as much as I hate Mustangs with big ricer wings. But not as much and, unlike a big ricer wing, going wingless is forgivable lol.
