I did some little things to my mustang which I think have changed it's look a WHOLE lot. blacked out emblems, front grill, and much more. What do you guys think? Constructive criticism is welcome. Btw, all of these were done by myself.

Hey bud, I like the blacked out emblems, and I love the rear end it looks great. I am not really a fan of black wheels, but I think those look ok against the red and tinted windows. Overall, yep I think it looks better than stock. Extra black trim looks especially good on white, silver, and red in my opinion...

The back end of your car is exactly what I want to do to my White '03. Matte Black Decklid, Valance, Bumper Inserts, and I'm going to tint the tails. Very classy, I like.

you need to work on your prep work. lower valance on the rear bumper looks haggard as **** with the ****ty tape job you did. side emblems also look horrid from so close.

Id give it a B... from 10+ feet away.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback! And @Fink I agree on the lower valance.. I took this pictures after my first try getting it done, so I'm going to fix it up one of these weekends. The lower valance really isn't as easy as you'd imagine, mainly because the cut and edges it has. It was kinda tricky.. to me anyways. As far as the emblems go I think they're the best things I did.. considering I did do these myself. Now that I do analyze the picture though I did notice that it does look bad in some areas, looks as if it was scratched. They do look alot better in person I think, and certainly not as sloppy as they appear in those pictures, it was taken with an Iphone! Thank you for the feed back though!

Thank you! It changes the view of the car a whole lot. It almost looks like a completely different car from before and after.

you tape at the hard line on the valance.. from the outside - marks down to the bottom. then tape along the top of those dashes.

no need to paint more than you need.

Like this..

If you use plasti-dip next time you wont need to worry about messing up or changing things up because it just peels right off.

I like everything but the rims and yes, prep work is a major factor here.

Looks great. Just think the emblems need a little touch up. Other than that, job well done ;0)
