Yeah I feel you on that one bro, but these are actually tasteful.

What is your opinion, brother?

+1 the GT500 ones look fine. I actually thought about getting those. Getting tired of seeing spray all over the backside of the car.

Make sure to ask if there are any additional charges to the mods you want to do.

Since I had the left rear quarter window out, they wanted $86 for labor + paint $$ to do the right window for SHR louvers. I told them just to forget it because it can add up.

The damages shouldn't be too terrible to fix up. Just sucks getting into an accident.

Yeah, I need to order a set of those flaps too.

But I need to do some work to my other car first before I spend money on stuff for the stang that's not critical.

I blame Sam Strano. Had he not had a sale on the konis, I wouldn't have bought new struts for my focus, ad I wouldn't have torn it apart and notice all the other misc. parts that need to be replaced.

I dont have 20 yet, but if I came to a scene and guy A says he got in someone's face and yelled and got punched for it, I'm gonna ask him "Who's the boob and what did you learn?"

Then I am gonna go to guy B who did the punching and ask him "Are those cuffs too tight?"

Well thankfully, my dad is good friends with the owner of the shop, so this new stuff won't be a problem at all. Plus he does cheap work with A+ quality.

Guys, do not purchase the 2010/2011 'mud' flaps, they do *not* have any functionality. I am only thinking about buying them because I kinda like the way they look.

Some dude put them on his car, and he still is getting mud on his rear end.

Cutter Wolf, are you a GT500 Super Snake or a regular GT with the SuperSnake body kit?

I ask because your signature has the Snake emblem with GT/SS on it, but I remember the Super Snakes spelling out the entire word Super Snake.

Either way beast car brother.

That's the simple fact of life out there now. Don't touch anyone, ever.

I understand the logic, but if I'm in the right, with my clean record, I'll take the chance, especially if I'm in the right.

I would say there is a little bit. The dirt doesn't start until right at the bottom of the flap, which means it functioned as well as it can given it's size (and at the end of the day isn't that what we all hope to do ). To stop it completely you would have to have a lower flap,

Hmm, true, I didn't think of it like that.
