Personally I would take off the front bodykit, and rear one. If you like them then keep em, that's just me! Other than that I think a gt500 or roush spoiler would look sick!

Yea, I'm not too keen on the 3D carbon air damn either but to each their own.

For your ride, I'd suggest some new wheels and rubber stat! If you're going to have a body kit, then it just doesn't look right with the stockers installed. Grab some 18" wheels of your choice or even go up to 19" or 20" depending on your preferences. You need something to fill up those wheel wells!

Welcome to the forum!

I did go to your album, however there is an easier way for everyone to see. Just upload your pictures to www.photobucket.com. It's a FREE site. Once you have them uploaded, just right click on the IMG link and paste it here to a post.
The medallion emblem you have, looks like it's located between the door and the ¼ window louvers but in the other pictures it's not there.
I do agree that a GT500 spoiler would look good.

Installing lowering springs will give your Mustang a more aggressive look and it also helps fill in the wheel wells! Cornering is a lot funner too!
I have the Eibach pro-kit lowering springs and they lower the front 1.3 inches and the rear 1.5 inches.
Also, if you keep the front chin spoiler, extend the white racing stripes over it as well.

I added the 69 roof pillar ornament a couple weeks ago some of the pics predate the new badge

I'd do away with the kit as well, it's large and bulky...
Also agree on the gt500 spoiler.

I don't like the white stripes on the car color, lol but that's just me.

First of all, your car is very good looking. I LOVE the color.
You are going to get a lot of opinions on what looks good, but in the end you have to do what you like.

I like the front chin, it gives the tame V6 bumper a more aggressive look, but personally I'm not a fan of the side skirts, and rear bumper. Maybe get some painted GT side skirts, and a GT or California special rear? That would look awesome. A different grille would look great too. Anyway, take our opinions with a grain of salt.

Welcome to the forum.

If you did not lower your Mustang yet then that would be my first. Spend the money on engine, drivetrain, or suspensuon first....body parts later imo
