Default How Difficult Would This Be? ('70 Boss Theme)

I'm well aware that the new Boss 302's are going to be bad, but they also cost more than I want to spend.

My favorite Mustang for all time is a Grabber Blue '70 Boss 302..

so, how hard would this look be to accomplish?



I know it's not a real car, but really the only visual mods I see are the hood/stripe being painted matte black, a shaker (is there one for the 5.0's yet?), tinted windows/heads, wheels, and maybe lowered a tad.

Am I missing something? Or is this look going to be more difficult to replicate than I imagine? EDIT: Forgot spoiler

EDIT again: tri-bar pony emblem and fogs moved to the lower fascia..

are there any bumpers that would accomodate that?

I saw a 05-09 grabber orange mustang gt with deep dish wheels similar to this one and the dish was also painted grabber orange. It looked really good...just an idea im throwing out there.

Is that just the stock gt front fascia with the fogs moved? Any idea if thats really possible?

Im in no way claiming to be original with this idea at all, obviously someone else 'put it together' but regardless, I think it's one of the best combinations I've seen on the new S197's....

I've been spending more time in the two forums *5.0 tech and appearance* as I'll be in the market for one in a few months. (landed a new job)

Hopefully there's nothing exstensive in getting something very similar.

Does anyone have any pictures of a shaker on the GT powerdome hoods?

That's the stock GT bumper with the bottom painted and fog lights somehow installed.

Other than that, some type of black billet grille (can't see the details), CDC shaker, and stripes - done.
