lol You want to stand out with subtle changes?? First look at the car you are driving...prob one of the most common "muscle cars" out there. I'm all for little things to be "different" but there is also a line of trying to be "different" and have it still look good. Right now I would not do too much. Anything you have thought to do has been done enough times so it's not an original idea. Don't try too hard to be different so you don't cross that line and make it look dumb lol You got a good thing going with what you have. I mean not many ppl have an IRS swapped GT, so there is a conversation starter for you lol

I feel you guys on "being different". However, i must agree that it is difficult to do without crossing that line... I take pride in standing out from other mustangs... The car you drive is usually a reflection of you. In this case, it is a reflection of me and my style/interests.

Keep goin with it Hoss. Black that grille out!

Why do people use "finger" for a type of measurement? If everyone had the same size fingers that would be great...but since we don't it's useless. Get a tape measure and measure from the bottom of the wheel straight up to the fender arch....NOT from the ground or even from top of the tire so you factor out tire sidewall differences.

Last time I did my measurement front/back with MaxSpeed springs and no iso's in the back I'm at 24" front/24.25" back

The problem with your method is that you MUST be on a completely level surface. Otherwise, you'll get all kinds of crazy measurements... Fingers just give you a quick measurement without getting all technical (like 945 said in a more irritated way hahaha)

Finger gaps work fine for me. Unless your fingers are thicker than a tree, it gives people an idea of where you're at...

lol Finding a level surface and having a tape measure is not hard. But I guess I see your point. Engineering degree makes me have a problem with "finger measuring" that's all.
