I've got a couple of questions for the gurus here.
If I get the GT500 upper strut mounts when I do my springs and struts will I need to get dampers to fit the 2005-10 USM?
When looking at the GT500 USM's it says 2005-2014. But the dampers (STR.T) make a difference between the 11-14s.

Also what's the word on TSW wheels?

gt500 strut mounts need 05-10 struts to work.

When we were on the back of the dragon trip i was going to suggest doing the hood vents black and having the roof vinyl wrapped black, along with black 5.0 badges. I think that would look great yet not be too over the top. The hood spears look great on it and you could still do the roof in black too. I think the black vents and the hood spears would be a little too busy looking though.

If it were my car, I'd probably go "dramatic" and do a Shaker hood, and that would give you some black on the hood. And I would probably do a Mach 1-style (without saying Mach 1 on it) wide stripe from the edge of the hood leading up to the shaker. But that's just me.

Thanks
At first I was going to do a Super Snake stripe in Flat or Satin black but it's been done to death. But it looks great so that explains why it is so popular.
I'm liking the hood Spears and now that I got the tint done it added some darker color to it.
I like the look of the quarter window louvers but once again it has been done.
I might go with a quarter window delete in Grabber Blue...
I am thinking just keep the car subtle but definitely make it mine ya know.
I haven't had a chance to get any pics out of the garage as I am in Michigan now.
I was out in the wife's v6 and I ran across a Camaro with "frdeter" {Ford Eater) on the tags.
I might need to do a little Camaro hunting next time I'm out with my car.

I like John's idea of CF vinyl roof wrap, I did that to my GT and loved it. Most didn't get to see it, I traded it shortly after.

I didn't get to see the wrap in person. Only saw the pics. Man that's a good looking Mustang.

Was at Wally World today, and since you guys don't think I have any trees out here, I bought and planted 10. Mostly fruit trees and a few cottonwoods. Seven to eight footers.

I applaud your effort, but this is what I think of when someone says trees Chris. This is a view towards dad's house from their church.

Very picturesque. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Not sure I could handle all those trees forever. I know when visiting back there, I need to be able to see after a few days.

It really is funny what we experience growing up and how that affects us as adults. I have customers in ND, SD, MN, etc and they love it. Wouldn't leave it, just too danged cold for me. I would miss the hills and trees living with you.
