Thanks for checking it out guys! To answer some questions...

ORIGINAL: rojizostang

looks good....lower it and ditch the wing for a gt500 spoiler and you'll be good to go jmho. how hard are the shr louvers to install?
I have a GT500 spoiler in my basement right now. Just need to get the time to install (and install stripes on the spoiler). I had a local glass shop install the louvers for $85. It was worth it to me to have it done right.

I'm sure I won't be the first to suggest this but you've got 2 holes in your front bumper for the plate that really detract from the cool looks!

But I like the way it shows. Maybe a lower billet grill?

And of course, the GT350 needs to go. Unless you shoehorned a Chevy engine in there!
A plain stripe would be better.
I was trying to figure out what those were for. They're not holes, they are bumps. Maybe to fill the original holes? No idea really. I bought the car used about a month ago, so I'm still learning about the car.
I'm thinking about a lower billit grille to match. I've been looking for upper/lower black billit grille pics, but haven't found much. If anyone has any, please post them!
As for the GT350... it was installed for the previous owner. I'm indifferent really. It doesn't bug me enough to change it yet. I'll have to see how it looks with just a plain stripe.

****ing -A! That is sexy, where did you get the grill?
Its a carriage works grille. I got it from autoanything.com for $136.95. I ordered the pony emblem from eBay for about $20 (its the 3dcarbon emblem). So all in all, half the price of the CDC grille (though the CDC grille is damn nice, and appears to be better quality).

ORIGINAL: jlaurens06gt

looking goo man.
things to consider:
painted calipers, mirror covers, side marker and corner lenses.
whats under the hood?
I have a red caliper paint kit ready to be used... just have to find the time. I also have smoked turn signal lenses on their way. I was considering side markers, but I think I'm just going to tint my current ones. What mirror covers would you use with a black stang? I've only seen them with other colors. Under the hood? 4.6 w/ JLT intake (Brenspeed 93 tune). Installing Steeda UDP's when I find the time (they're sitting in the basement as well).

Thanks for all the comments guys! I'm having a great time with the Mustang

I'm planning on putting those louvers on mine fairly soon, and I love the wheels. When/if I decide to switch out my wheels I'll have to look very closely at those ones.

The grill is sick too.

I'm not a fan of the GT 350 stripes, nor the aluminum gas door, but overall I love the car!

The more I look at it, the more I realize it would look a lot cleaner without the rocker stripe... hmmmm...

Your car looks great man. Looks 10x better than the people who are putting deep dish on all 4 corners. I agree with the stripes comment. I like them, just not the gt350 part. I'm sure one of the stripe dealers could hook you up with just the front portion without letters pretty cheap instead of redoing the whole sides.

Ah, didn't even think about that. I guess I would only need the two front portions. I'll think things over and see what I can do. I might just take them off, but what you said gives me another (easier) option.

I guess I am in the minority on this on but, I like the GT350 look. I say keep the rocker stripes.

The GT500 spoiler will make it look even better than it already does. Hurry up and get that thing on there!! Very nice.
