Take the airbags out, real muscle cars dont have safety features.

I think the side window louvers and rear glass louvers make it look more retro.

Agent47 Retro Race Mirrors...

http://www.southernmustangparts.com/...ors-p-308.html

Replace your current mirrors that come stock on your Mustang with Retro Race Mirrors from Agent 47



This is the style that belongs on every 60's retro inspired Mustang. Installing these mirrors capture the classic look and aerodynamic goodness of the original racing mirrors of the 60's but with full power.

These mirrors use the stock mounting locations and connectors for a quick and hassle free installation. Mirrors come with new glass and backing plates.

Thanks

Ken

Shaker system...
It's a must for retro looks!

I agree on the mirrors, bullet style...
Small duck tail rear spoiler is also a retro feature, black out hood etc...

+1 especially the Shaker. Another place to start would be some wheels,like a set of SS Cragars for an S-197.

15" wheels. lol

Chrome trim around the tail lights, black tail panel (depends on color of your car).

Blacked out hood, spoilers and louvers.

C stripes.

LeMans stripes.

A lot of choices.

Lots of choices from minor to full blown......the 05+ has a good retro start from the factory.
