You're nuts Gary! Keep one car for a while. I knew a guy in the Navy that traded his car 3 times in 1 year, so 4 new cars! I'd hate to have seen his upside down loan.

I still have the same 06 mustang gt I bought new in 06! I bought a new fiat 500 turbo and didn't even trade a car in! Crazy right?

I started de-striping the car. The side stripes are gone, the 5.0 emblems are now black, I started working on the hood decal but as I began removing it I found a 1mm thick layer of adhesive to my trusty goo-gone and I have been working over time to remove just the portion from the scoop to the front bumper.

The heat gun comes out once again to remove the scoop so I can work on that on my shop table for better ease of removal, then having ti polished and buffed before re-install.

Ordering a set of TSW 20" will have the factory rims for sale at AM show in august.

So I de-striped the whole car

Added the Boss 302 intake and Tune.

I had some AMR drfits installed then picked up a set of NICHE wheels with tires at the AM show for $700 brand new (Clearance tent)













Trying to decide if I like the drifts or the APEX wheels better.

Thoughts or opinions?

Whichever these are I like better. The silver colored ones don't sit right in the wheel wells and don't contrast well enough with green....just my $0.02
