Looks nice! Next step? I'd suggest big disks as those bigger rims are making the stock disks look tiny!
Oh, yeah, don't forget to pry off the Shelby emblems! LOL Someone HAD to suggest that first!

RE: Some updated pictures
Thanks for all the kind words guys, when I first bought the car I had a choice of LL, Black, Redfire and Yellow at my dealer and looking at the LL it was just too much green...but I sat back and imagined what it would look like when it was done, and to me the decision became simple, no disrespect to the other colors because any Mustang is gorgeous in any color.
I am contemplating de- shelbying the car...80% right now on taking the decals off and repainting the spoiler stripes, probably in the summer. See I'm in Canada and we are really hard pressed to see a real Shelby out here, so nobody knows anyways probably never see a GT500 and we are not getting the Shelby Gt's, so to me it's a tough desision.
Orion_240 you are right on the money, brakes are next, not so much that they look tiny(which they do) but the are getting worn and they never were great brakes anyways. Me personally I really like the stock Fanblade wheels so whells have never really come to mind and again being in Canada, not really alot of these wheels around the streets, so pretty rare stuff, on a 1 year run. First I will porbably do the Cervini's billet grille though.
Mike, I manage a bodyshop here in Vancouver, I masked my car up and my painter laid the paint down for me. We did alot of sprayout of color variances and I really liked the metallic green black. You have the nice black stripes and the metallic almost just looks like a contination of the legend lime into the stripes, I wish I had a good camera and some photo skills to show you guys, because it really does look very unique but very subtle. If you look really close the rear bumper is not painted yet, it is still the old decals, reason being at the time I wasn't sure what I wanted to do to the back of the car, if anything ,and the bumper is easy enough to do, and it really didn't look aweful. I have now desided I am doing the GT500 rear diffuser bumper painted just like the California special, love the way it looks.
