Shout at the Devil: Heavily-modded S550 Mustang is Sinfully Sexy

S550 Mustang

A keen eye, the right parts, and some old-fashioned inspiration transform stock ‘Stang into ‘El Diabl5.0,’ a gorgeously unique creation.

One of the most appealing things about owning America’s favorite muscle car is the fact that parts are plentiful. With seemingly endless mods available in the aftermarket, building a unique S550 Mustang is as easy as pressing a few buttons. Well, and having a keen sense of style. After all, anybody can throw a bunch of mods at a car. It takes talent to make them all mesh together harmoniously.

Instagrammer Tony Arguelles has that talent, obviously. We’re able to see his S550 Mustang GT go from stock to the incredible machine you see before you. And interestingly enough, his inspiration for the build comes from the distant past. You see, both of Arguelles’ parents owned Foxbody Mustangs. His mother a red one, his father a black one. Thus, that formed the color palette Arguelles had to have on his S550 Mustang.

With that essential detail nailed down, it was time to get to work ordering up parts. But unlike most bolt-on builds, this S550 Mustang has some nice, subtle touches that really add up. Like the honeycomb taillights. And the incredibly cool Late Model Restoration GT350 Track Pack spoiler. But perhaps our favorite addition are those RTR lights, which look absolutely killer.

Little by little, this incredible pony car has transformed into one seriously unique ride. It’s just further proof that with the right eye and the right parts, turning your stock S550 Mustang into a one-of-a-kind looker is devilishly easy!
