Looks good especially the hood, I think it's a little overkill with all the louvers on it IMO,but it still works with a white mustang.

The pictures are incredibly small. Can you link the full-sized ones? These look like the thumbnails.

Overall it's looking good but very busy. If it were mine, I'd remove the white tail light bezel. The tail lights look amazing stock and the bezels break-up the solid black accent that shoots across the back. Instead, I'd go with black-out vinyl strips to cover the white LEDs. Curious about the front fender panels. I don't recall seeing those before.

I don't know how to make the pictures bigger, might be able to see better in my garage, i put them there also, today I did cover the LED's with vinal., those are fender vents. Helps keep the breaks cool. There aftermarket cut ins. I took the car out last night it was interesting to see peoples reactions. Kinda comical at times people craining there necks to see.

how does it cool the brakes? even it you had ducting there, it wouldn't be cooling the brakes.

I'm not a fan at all of the headlight splitters and taillight covers at all, but I don't mind the rest. I think they're a bit too much.

Not a fan of the fender "vents" or the headlights. Props if you like it.

It looks really good. The headlight splitters and tail light bezels are overkill for me, but otherwise, nice.

Hood looks good. You're going to get a lot of mixed opinions on all those mods. Personally, I like a clean look. The less mods or only subtle mods, the better, IMO. Suspension, wheels and tires, window tint, and sometimes debadging the car (Depending on what vehicle it is) alone can sometimes make a car look the very best it can look. Simple, clean etc.

I like the front end very much, but the back window louver and the taillight thing I am not into. However, if you like the look, then that is what counts.
