Looks great, where did you get the GT500 spoiler from?

I haven't had any problems with scraping so far. I now have 6" clearance in the front, which is almost exactley 1" less than I had before the spoiler. I don't deal with inclined driveways but we have some huge speedbumps (speed tables) getting on base and I haven't had any problems.

I'm drawing a blank right now and can't remember the percentage on the window tint. The fog and side marker tint I never knew. Ordered them as a set off e-bay.

I ordered the GT500 spoiler directly from the Fordaccessories website.

Hopefully I didn't miss any questions.

Wow you have 6" with the spoiler and FRPP springs? Thats insane, my sixer only have 4" of clearance with only steeda sport springs. I guess the sixers have a larger lower front fascia.

Wow that realllly looks good, best 10+ I've seen. I've said the CDC spoiler just makes so much sense and really makes the front look better.

What springs and what tire sizes are you running?

FRPP 1.5" springs and 255/35 front 285/30 rear.

Here are a couple more pics I took a couple months a go at a pre-Sema carshow. They let some of us military guys show our cars. They are a little dirty here because they had us on a dirt lot at first but I think the pics still turned out kind of cool.

Pics look great! Thanks for the info, trying to decide if I'll go to a 20" for the CS69. The 18's don't have the same look without the stagger/lip but I was not looking to move up to 20. Shelby company was asking on their messageboard what wheels the customers want to see, told them 18x10.5 or 18x11 CS69 with a dish.

yours sits as low as mine does. I am changing my FRPP M-5300-K springs though. I am also adding the Koni StrT shocks / struts. My ride with the stock shocks / struts on FRPPs is horrible.

Wilki, do the Konis first and see how it feels then
The FRPP are not the harshest by any means...

If you want handling, especially when lowered, you'll never have a smooth ride IMO.

I have the whole thing ordered already. I may already have the FRPP springs sold....
