ETA: D' prived, your car is one of my favorites on here. Pretty much anything you do to your car would look good on a white one too. I get alot of ideas looking at your ride. You should be proud.
Thanks for the compliment! Yeah... it's lowered 1.5" with FRPP K springs. Haven't had any problems with any scraping.

BTW... I like your wheels. I would do other stuff like louvers, rear black out panel, tail light tint...etc before changing out your wheels.

Thank you. I tend to agree. I actually like my wheels. I've seen much worse factory wheels over the years. Ford actually got the bullitts right. If I could get a matching 17x10" deep dish for the rear, I'd probably leave them from now on.

Instead of a whole new grille get blackout fog covers for $50 and possibly paint the pony. My gf just bought me the fog covers when i got my new front and i get a ton of looks

I'd stripe it all the way down. Not just the hood.
Window louvers are good little spice addition.
I'd also go with a chin spoiler. Finally, I'd either get some new wheels or powder coat the ones you have black to match up with the theme of the car.
The wheels look great but the color just does NOT go with your color scheme in my opinion.


You need a chin spoiler BAD. Will make the car look SO MUCH more aggressive!

Oh if you wanted to do even more... maybe some headlight splitters.
I personally really like them. Especially on white or black Mustangs.
You could also tint the tail lights.

I like the grey with the white, it is unique. Somewhere down the road you might go with the anthacite and upsize, but for now it wouldn't take priority with me. Hell i will take it one step further, you might change the stripe color to match and work with grey and white as primary colors. Throw in a accent color....and BOOM!

I think the reason I like these wheels so much is that they remind me of the original American Racing Torq Thrusts. That was what was in style for muscle cars in the late 70's and 80's when I was growing up. I wouldn't mind going with 18's, but they're going to be anthracite because I just love that look. Maybe you guys are right, and I need to change my stripe up a little. I had planned on doing top stripes in red or maybe silver at some point, but I don't really want vinyl, so that's on hold for now.
