wow didn't expect this many replys back. Just to let everyone know, I don't care if my car is fast or not, I'm just trying to go for a different look. If I wanted a fast car, like someone said a GT would have done it for me. I went with a v6 plain jane Mustang so I can do what I want to it. As of today I have made mods to my inside and outside of my car. here is a new pic.
That`s great, now look at post #30, the extreme rake on that caricature DOES look cool. BUT, only because the huge rear tire fills the wheel/fender arch. When you have a large gap between the tire and fender lip it looks "less than good" ( fill in your own expletive)

Thanks everyone, I took it to a local shop and he explained like most of you have to me on this forum that it would be a bad idea. He told me the only way to go would be by lowering the car. I won't be lowering it. I guess I will think of something else to do. Thanks everyone for the responses.

This is the most insane thing i have ever heard come out of a MUSTANG owners mouth, lol. But anyways I think you might have a hard time finding anything to lift a mustang, +1 on the bigger rear tires.
I don't find it insane at all. If I was looking for speed then I wouldn't have gone with a V6. Just because you have a Mustang dosen't mean speed is your game. I have always loved the Mustangs for their awesome looks and appeal. I wanted a V6 due to their inexpensive pricing and the fact that I can upgrade and add mods at my choosing. If I want speed, I can add it at anytime by doing mods to my engine.

You know canefan87, there's something about your carI can't put my finger on. It has great stripes and rims, but somewhow it looks real plain Jane. It's weird.

We're all different i know, but for my money I'd have to put a spoiler on the rear and break the side up with rocker stripes. it would look better a bit lower as well

Thanks, that's what a local shop owner explained to me. Next time I get some new tires, this will be my plan. Upsize the rear tires. Thanks

Well, appreciate your opnion. I don't think it looks plain anymore. I think the stripes and rims and my exhaust that I have put on it makes it look real good. Of course the exhaust is more for sound. I never have liked spoilers, so thats one thing I won't be getting. Everyone here in my city has rocker stripes so that's why I didn't get them. Wanted to be different from others. My next thing I will be getting is the Upper/Lower Grill. That will hopefully be installed by next weekend. I'm not sure what I will add next after the Grill.
