Whatever you like will be awesome. I personally love the roush louvers and only sold mine cause they looked out of place with the cervini side vents. Hopefully, most understood my post for what it was. I'm all for any type of body look you want to add to your car for styling - it was the 'tributes', cobra crap, and 'themes' that got me sick. I like both the aggresive and classic front fascia's but think they work best if it matches the rest of the kit. i.e. - if you've got a classic fascia, then go with classic on the rest. The roush louvers are great cause they can blend both ways.

Good point, do you think if I go with the CDC ducktail, that it will look better with the classic? I am trying to keep a positive flow throughout the car and not mess it up. IMO, I think that the ducktail is in the same category as the Roush Louvers that they can go eitehr way. Do you think drilling holes in the front bumper is a big deal, especially for a car that I am going to be holding onto for a long time. Even when I do get the next generation Mustangs, and so on.

American Bad *** would be a tribute to Kid Rock. Let's not make a 2005 GT tribute to Kid Rock, let's let him do that to his car.

If you are a GT, just be a GT. Do what ever you want, but remember who you are. Gt's hate 6's dressing up like GT's, I bet Cobras will hate GT's dressing up like Cobras.

So now what do I do with my Cobra Wheels???? At least I don't have Cobra centercaps...or pony. It's just that generic insert. Thank GOD.

I have to agree somewhat...if you are putting badges on your car to win shows, your doing the wrong thing. For me, the reason I have done a 1967 GT350 tribute with my car is because the mustang body is finally a retro looking car, and my dream car growing up was a 67 GT350. So I get the best of both worlds with my tribute. I tell everyone I meet its not a TRUE GT350 (actually ford hasnt made one so I guess imok) but tell them its a package done by me for me. IF others happen to like it great, if not, great.

I think unless Ford creates a GT350, anyone has the right to do a custom GT350, a GT500 on the other hand is pushing it, seeing as ford is making one.

chevykiller, I think your car is crying to be put back to its original self,,,, ROUSH that is. I know you have bagged on roush products in the past as well as myself, but I was at the car show too and noticed the sea of snakes. If you would of kept it a ROUSH you could of been with the other seven 05-06 roush mustangs that were there. I think there are other people that went to the car show leaving with the same let down as yourself but they are afraid to say it. one last thing, out of all the fake snakes, yours did look better than the others.

Yea, I've been recontemplating my GT500 scheme for a while now actually. I wasn't planning on badges or sidestripes..........just a hood, ducktail, and some racing stripes. Wouldn't be that bad around here really since almost no one has done any significant body mods to their new stangs yet........nor have I seen any Cobra imitators around. But it has me rethinking nonetheless. I have a back-up scheme........but I'm gonna stay tightlipped about it for now in hopes that I may be the first 05/06 owner I've seen to do it [crosses fingers].

BTW.....I think we should all keep a lookout for what I'm afraid is about to become another popular clone subject: the Hertz GT350H. From reading all the many threads about it in the last few days I can see that alot of ppl were ignorant to the old black and gold scheme of those Shelbys. I have a feeling we are gonna start seeing that scheme more often now.[8D]

Yes I totally agree.

Chevy, are you stroking your engine? IE more then 4.6? What happened to people putting how many CI's their engine is on their fender? Though 281 just doesn't look that good. I think whenever I get around to doing my engine, I'm going to put 322 on the side. Might put my initials or something over that, or just keep it the engine size.

I think it is absolutely ridiculous to be flamed as a poser for building a tribute vehicle. Especially given the fact FORD is not and will not build this car. It's not like we're trying to pass our cars off as being original GT-350'S. In fact, that's why I personally chose to use the GT-350 designation as opposed to the GT-500 designation. I don't want anyone thinking this is a factory car. As a matter of record, I've owned MANY Mustangs over the years including several classic musclecars and never once have I ever flamed someone for building a clone, as long as they represent it as a clone! There's my final .02 cents on the subject.

I have to say one good thing about the car show.

It was really cool to meet some of you guys from the Mustang forum and to indulge myself in some "car-talk".
