I went with the silver with dark grey stripe, but I am going for that look...

That looks sweet as hell too.
What is the width or your rims, what offset and what size tire?
Thanks.

For me, this is teh best! I dont know whose car is it. But kudos for him! I want some money to build my car like that

You see for me I am so over that, it has been done to death.
The car looks cool, but I am sick of seeing it.

I don't care for body kits. i like the way the car lines look just as they come from Ford. Body kits are a little too "boy racer" for my tastes.
I think "Gone in 60 seconds" with Nicholas Cage was a really bad movie.
The original "Gone in 60 seconds" was a classic though.
I dont want extra plastic taped on to my car, from Cervinis or Saleen or whoever.
Eleanor shows me nothing - nor does Saleen or Rousch

I didnt go with the body kit and never meant it to look like Eleanor but I get that sometimes.

Man that is sweet, I love it.
I like the rims, but i love that hood.
How wide are your rims, whats the offset, and what size tire are you running?
The rims are 10" out back with a 275 and 8" up front with a 255. Tires in back are almost worn and will be getting 295 next. I dont remember the offset anymore but Boss motorsports any makes two offsets in these wheels. Hood is Saleen. I like it because its functional and not alot of people have it. Its hard to make these cars stand out because there is so many of them. I dont like body kits too much because the 60's models didnt have that bottom heavy look that a body kit gives the Mustang. I personaly didnt want to go that look right nowbut some of them look OK. If I went with one it would be one like Strete Scene or Saleen.

Thanks,they are 20x10 front and rear, 285-30-20 tires and I think the offset is 25mm because of the way they are made.

You know, I'd like to see someone do an H.B. Halicki Eleanor Mustang out of the s197's...Wouldn't look QUITE the same, since the 289 Mustang used then was of that Ford Torino body styled Mustang, but I think it'd look pretty sharp in a paint scheme a touch more yellow than Grabber Orange. It'd be fully possible...

And for those who haven't a clue what I'm talking about, google Gone in 60 Seconds and look for the one made in the 70's. That had one of the greatest car chase scenes EVER (in my opinion, better than the Bullitt chase scene).

to be totally honest, I dont like the cervinis C300 kit anymore. Back in Dec. I was going to swap everything off the car, and buy the C300 kit but after a month or two of thinking about it, I realized its not practical for a daily driver. The car is so much lower, you cant hit potholes, or bumps. plus curb damage to those beautiful rims, and I wouldnt want to leave it in a parking lot.
