Stowesstang is back in the game ya'll - Check it out!!
Damm it feels like Ive been out of commission for a long time but Im back ya'll and Im here to share my new girl with my favorite forum family!!!!!! Ok, yep, yep, I need a new signature now for sure!! 
The insurance wouldnt total my Vista Blue so here is how it went down....(try to keep this short)....didnt fix the VB, sold it to a broker for $15Gs (without any of my mods). Damages ended up getting up over $9Gs (took that check). Insurance settled with me and hubby for close to $4500 and then I hit them up for a diminished value claim (which was a freakin joke). They offered $1289 and I took it and ran!!!! Made out good enough to pay off the VB and shop for a new one. Bought this one on the Ford D-Plan and ended up in the deal with about $3Gs in equity!! [sm=wootwoot.gif]After a visit to (6) dealerships could not find another VB like the one I had and set up the way I wanted. Hubby and I debated on the next color. He said black or white, I said blue, that wasnt working so we came up with.....TORCH RED!! 
Here she is........................................2007 GT Premium 5-speed; 3.55 gears; factory chrome tips (which are gone now-put my new FRPP Borla Stingers on it); crimson/black leather interior; Shaker 500 Stereo w/6-CD changer; Sirius satellite radio. Took a while tofeel the color but every day I fall more and more in love with it, its HOT!!!!

Hey thanks guys!!! Im so glad ya'll like it because it sure isnt thatbeautifulblue for sure. I think the Ruff Racing wheels look even better on that red. I picked those wheels at this local wheel shop. They are not high end, top of the line, but for $2700 for wheels and tires, they have been a damm good wheel and maintenance is so freakin easy!!

Yes, welcome back and the new ride looks awesome!
Actually after seeing your ride, I really want the factory hood scoop I really like the look. I was planning on a shaker but I really like the stock hood scoop! Again welcome back and she looks awesome!

All I did was look for smooth hoods and rear spoiler deletes, I was set on no factory scoop but I have to agree with ya, it turned out looking pretty good they way the car is set up.
