my god i havent been on this forum in a while... anyways. do it bro, I have a large portion of the roush kit, (louvers, rocker panels, front valance w/ chin spoiler) and has the beating heart (motor) or the V6. Doesnt matter, it will be great and youl be happy. Youl get alot of complements and it doesnt matter what others think.

Other than the GT500 kits, I think the Roush kits are one of the best looking Mustang kits out there Especially with that Roush 9 bar grill...

Oh, and the $65K or about, for the stage 3 ?!?! You have to have more respect for your butthole. lol.
Smart folks like ONF1R did it themselves for a fraction of that price and he could have slapped a blower on that car and keep everything below $35K.
I agree and could not agree more!!!! go for it OP

as for modding your gt with roush parts, you wil be fine...do it in the right order and dont look like a ricer you see with primered parts rolling down the road...one of us might snap a pic and youll wind up in a "WTF" thread b4 u know it ;-)
One of the best looking Roush cars that is not a Roush I have ever seen...well made and a cut above the rest...I am sure the creator/owner had much to do with how the final car looked.. ....loved that car man!
