Painted mirrors was $500ish if I remember correctly. The wheels? I bought a set of 4 painted white in 18X9 off Ebay (back in the day, I NEVER see them any more) for $349. When I decided I wanted the car to be a drag/street race car I needed 18X10's for the rear to fit the 305/35 DR's, so I had to buy a set in black and have them painted, but it was well worth it. Besides, now I have an extra set of 18X9's for burnout competitions, lol!!!

I got quoted $280 for my side mirrors to be painted...but he said they wouldn't be smooth like the body. So I'm going to look around to see who else can do it.

Thanks! It's humerous, when I try to explain my car, it sounds like a riced out Mustang (body color rims, underhood paint, different spoiler), but then when people see it they are like "yeah, that's no riced out Stang!"

All you need is a short antenna and clear corners, imo.

The rims make the car. Think of it as the ANTI murdered out look, lol!

Thanks! I built it to be a drag car, but that doens't mean it can't look good! I haven't headed to the track yet, but I am guessing it's a high 11 car, worse would be low 12's. I can keep up with a local SRT4 that runs 11.6 at the track from a roll, so I should be in the 11's for sure. (he won't go from a dig, lol) After I go forged I will up the power to around the 550 mark, anything more than that on a street car is a little much, unless you want to run straight slicks everywhere, lol!!
