Default calling all BLACK GTs

Looking for some pics of good looking BLACK GTs.. no spoiler, no rear/side louvers.

I have alot of exterior mods and getting tired of it being so damned attention getting (yeah, aside from the 10 ft. cherry colored tribal decals on both sides and on the hood).

About to go supercharged and thinking about changing the look of my GT some. When I first got her, I was 27 and still into the whole "race car" "hot wheels" look.. now that I am 30, I am getting a little weary of all the attention it gets (good and bad)

Thinking of possibly NO side/rear louvers, no GT500 spoiler (and using spoiler delete plugs) and possibly a black center rear delete as well. I also have a Bullitt grille to down play some more.. suggestions??





.. or would I be ruining the unique look my car has??

dude, your cs looks great. i don't think it's overdone at all. in fact, you could use some tint to finish it off.

Just ditch those tribal stripes and you'll be golden.

Thanks. I do like the attention it gets on some days, but on some days burnt out from work and then 6 hours of lecture in classes or working in the university shop/garage- I am less than enthusiastic when someone revs at me or eggs me on for a race lol


I don't know.. sometimes it gets old, but some days I love the look of my GT.. oh well, I'll figure it out next week. I might try the look for a few weeks just to see how I feel about it. I remember doing it like that one year (plain) and I swear I felt like I was naked driving around lol



.. yeah, decals stay on.

..ssoooo... any pics of black GTs, no spoilers, no louvers? I looked up Shelby GT and Bullitts, they look pretty sweet.

since ya said shelby gt, here's more of mine... I kinda doubt you'd get any less attention though. not many push me to race, I think they assume it's got the gt500 drivetrain, but lots of thumbs up and waves...

NICE. Not to aggressive, not too subtle.




I think the brake rotors might be making people think twice about racing...

lol, yeah, 14" rotors certainly give it a serious attitude eh?

I never pushed the stock brakes to the limit really, but these brakes with the new tires (all done at same time...) and it stops pretty damn good and stays controlled... my wallet wasn't too happy with me though!
