Thanks... I originally wanted them in matte black, but the silver has really grown on me, and compliments are a plentiful.

Yeah I was looking into LCAs. While I have the springs in posession, I am thinking it won't prevent the wheel hop I get from time to time.

So, LCAs will be added to the list.

Right now I put the Stang mods to the side while I tune up and prep a 95 Camaro I picked up for my godson as his XMAS present. Scored it for $2551.00, single owner, garage kept for it's 18 yr life. Runs almost new. has a slight uneven idle, but I figure that is from sitting, so I dumped a can of seafoam into it and filled it up with 93 Octane, drove it for almost 200 miles and the idle seems a bit better.

While it is a V6 the gas mileage is insane, it went almost 200 miles on a Quarter tank, even my 12 stang V6 wasn't getting that kind of mileage, and yes the fuel gauge works.

But getting that ready for him, is now my priority. The stang can wait, plus I am almost at 1600 ont he clock in 3 weeks with my commute.

My CS/GT hood vents arrived today. I will make sure to take some pics when I install them since we have the same color car.

I was thinking of doing black wheels, and black stripes down the center. However, now that I've seen SGM with silver stripes and silver wheels I might go that route instead...decisions. I think we should start an SGM thread :-)

I was thinking of starting an SGM thread. Black, SGM and White are the top three sellers in Stangs.

Stripes I won't do. The car is very clean as it sits, and really doesn't need a stripe. It crossed my mind, and I have seen some with, and without, and deemed it could go either way. I ended up deciding to keep it clean.

My bigger concern is the door ding I have to get fixed. I park the farthest away and against an end spot or crub in a parking lot and sure enough I come out and find a door ding in the right rear quarter panel... So now I have to use my free 12/12 dent/ding warranty to get my 3 week old car fixed. PISSED!

Thanks... I love'em too.

I still haven't put my lowering springs on. I am doing a 1.5' drop. Been tied up with fixing up the 95 Camaro i picked up last Wednesday for my godson, so the Mustang was put on hold.

I did wash and wax it today, so it hasn't been totally neglected this past week.
