Hey guys. Just picked up a black 2012 GT and am looking for appearance mod ideas. I'd like to see pics of yours so I can steal your ideas....:icon_naughty :
I don't have pics, yet. My parts are getting painted. I am getting all of the textured black plastic painted to match the car. I am also adding a Cervinis Type 4 chin spoiler. Then I'm painting the pony in the grill black also.
I think tinted lights look great too. Maybe I will get to that in the future. I'll post up some pics when the painted parts are back on.
I dipped the 5.0 logos black and the GT trunk emblem black as well. Under the hood I painted the coil covers, intake manifold, fuse box, strut tower brace, and rad cover. Only thing left is the CAI tube and coolant reservoir.
I know ours aren't the same year, but here is my 2014:
Appearance wise, I have Eibach Sportline springs, the Boss 302 wheels, blackout 5.0 badges with custom colored decimal points, blacked out pony out front, Roush front, side, and rear splitters, window tint, and the matte black fender hashes.
The biggest things I would recommend for any Mustang to "dress" it up, is lowering springs. Stance with a vehicle has never been important to me before, but the springs were one of the first things I did for this car and it made a world of difference!
The next biggest thing I would recommend that might sound stupid, but it goes a long way on a black car; a good, thorough paint correction. I'm talking a careful carwash, clay bar, polish, and wax. Even with a new 2014 Mustang it made a HUGE difference!!!!
I have a black '13 GT/CS, and let me tell you something: WELL DONE with the green!
Rarely do I like fender hash marks but you pulled it off. The grille outline is pretty epic too and I have not seen that before. Where did you buy the stripes and grill outline?
Well i noticed that AM sells fenders stripes, but of course not in the colour i wanted. (Green obviously). So i found a local vinyl shop and asked them about making them. but then i got talking to my buddy about the stripes and and he suggested getting my stock silver stripes changed to green as well. So i had my stock stripes replicated in a green and the hash marks done at the same time. The grill is just the OEM GT/CS grill with the outer rim painted with Green PLasti-dip
Awesome pics guys! These are exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like to do something to make mine stand out from the crowd. thanks again and keep em coming!
Black, you say? I've got black
Here's my '14 in different stages of mods. Hard to tell but it has flat black outer stripes on the hood.
Of course my '13 is in my sig and both have more pics in my garage. I think the light tint makes the biggest difference. No worries with being able to see at night either.
I'm also a huge fan of those green accents, well done sir!

Can I ask what paint and process you used and how it's holding up? I'm looking to do some under hood painting in the near future.
