My opinion:

1. I love the pics, your car looks great! On lowering, just be careful how low you go, I HATE speed bumps thanks to my FRPP K springs (plus my headers being the lowest point of my car)
2. AAAAAHHHH I miss my 'Stang!!!!!!! (less than a month left from this freakishly long deployment)

I figure I might as well ask as long as I have a thread going, but what kind of drop do you guys thing is optimal? For me looks are secondary to functionality, I don't want a car so low that I'll be scraping up the car whenever I drive over anything or try to get out of something even slightly sloped.

If you're OK with the current handling and front ride height, but want to get rid of the rake and make the car level by dropping the rear, consider Roush rear springs. It'll drop the rear about 1". No need to change shocks, etc if you are low miles.

Ahh I can see now, I was on my phone the first time I posted.
And I agree about the tint, I never would have gone as dark as I did if I didn't already know the cops around here are really laid back about it.

I agree with Kevin a chin spoiler would look amazing.

What rear spoiler is that? I saw a GB '10 GT the other day with one. It looks sick.

I hate states that make you have a front plate and for that I will continue to register my car in Florida, if that plate wasn't there you could continue the stripe on to the front bumper.

I have the Eibach Pro-kit springs, which drop the car 1.3' front and 1.5' rear. The ride is a bit stiffer, however it also helps performance when cornering! I have a sloped drive way and don't have any clearance issues. I do have to be careful around curbs and parking blocks, so I don't scrape up my chin spoiler. Hope this helps!

Front end mods are in the works! I have to find the time to dissemble the front bumper cover etc so that I can get the grill surround out and have it painted. Then hopefully I'll get around to installing a CS front valence with the Boss 302 splitter If I don't end up going that route, then a chin spoiler will definitely find it's way onto the car.

Also, that rear spoiler is the "pedestal spoiler" that is a factory option, I actually wasn't sure about how it would look when it came with the accessory package I ordered but I'm definitely happy with it! Although the connecting points to the trunk lid are a pain to clean around hah

I completely agree. I am glad that at least my dealer asked me about it before drilling the holes. I think the stripes would've looked great running down over the front bumper but I suppose I'll just have to live without it for the time being.
