JMO but here goes:
- love the rims (save your money, don't touch) [clean]
- lucky you, no fender emblems (holes) [clean]
- remove side stripes ASAP [clean]
- smooth your mirrors; have them painted red [clean]
- rockers, rear lower fascia; have painted red [clean]
- CDC classic spolier; have painted red [clean]

...inexpensive; car will look "sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet"; don't clutter her up; you are leaning towards a clean look; not a fan of add-ons, stripes, emblems, etc.Yeah, I have flames but everything has been removed, car does not say Ford or GT anywhere (doesn't need to) Only thing better for you would be spoiler delete. ...maybe a dealer will do a swap with ya. You have a terrific looking ride there!! enjoy!

BTW: where did you get the black ABS billet grill? Do you know if it is available for the GT (w/o fogs, w/o pony)

After, of course, the new 17" bullitts and pirelli's helped..lol

yeh I'd rather not have clutter.
I'm going to leave the rockers/bumper black because I like that look, and thats why I got the gt500 rear .
So I shouldn't get pony emblems for the side?
should I remove the pony emblem from my grille?


I got the abs billet from ebay for 100 bux shipped. I dont think they make one for the gt, but can you be a guinea pig for us all and try it in your bumper and tell us how it fits? because I want to get a gt takeoff front and want to use my grille, but I dont know what the fitment issue will be.

Thanx for the help guys. All good points
