It's a mustang, we don't put z3 fenders on or vents. It's like you're trying to blend the car with the imports instead of making it a true muscle car. I understand that they all like it there cause its rare but it would be even cooler if you don't conform it to import styling. Just my opinion.
But its all in what you like and makes you happy. If you question whether or not you like it, then maybe you need to take a step back and make it the way you want. I don't question any upgrade I have ever put on my car, cause I know it looks good to me.

Hey its your car. If you like it, go for it! IMO the front end has a lot going on... I would replace both chrome grills with something less flashy, maybe the black chrome cutout grills from AM here... Otherwise your car looks great! Love the stripes on the hood and the chin spoiler fits great... The 7-8 gauges is a lil overboard but whateva... BTW what's the gauge in the glove box?

Your car looks great, but I do agree about having a less flashy grill. You have done a nice job with your car for sure.

i think your mustang is looking very good, Ralph. dont mind all the criticisms, i think they all mean to help you out by pointing out what can make your car better. i like the gauges, and you will be adding the supercharger so the gauges will be of use later, and it is a show car also and at shows they like bling!

you are doing a great job modding the mustang in the Netherlands, i'm sure you are only 1 of a few in your part of the world. the saleen SC is a great choice, although i would go whipple, but saleen is good too they certainly look good under the hood. keep up the good work and post up more pics when you do more modding.

Any supercharger is safe, just don't go crazy on boost.
10psi for daily driving, don't go over that.

Ralph, you asked for opinions in your first post and I think that people gave you their thoughts on how to improve the car - and some compliments as well. Saying you should change out the grill for black billet to go with the black stripes sounds like an excellent idea to me and fits with your overall scheme better than the chrome grill.

The Roush spoiler is a great piece and I think that everyone pretty much likes it - even though we may have made different choices for our own Mustangs.

But in the end it is your car and you have to be happy with it, not any of us. All we can say is what we think we would do if it were our Mustang.
