Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I've decided on 18s instead of 20s, just not sure on black vs gun metal rims. I'm looking at billets, FR500s, and Shelby Razors. What do you think?

Stang-aholic,

Your car looks sweet. Nice work. What size tires do you have on it? Thanks.

+1
You really need to take into account your driving style and where you drive when you lower the car. I commute in the Mustang over fairly poor roads then have to deal with 4 big speed bumps to get to my parking spot. I scrape if I'm not careful. I also have to be mindful of pulling in to far.

Sidenote: the learning curve for me with the drop was rough, I'm looking to replace/repaint my front bumper from the abuse that it has taken from being 1.5" closer to the ground.

Thumbs up

Thanks for all the great pics, black on black looks great. Just the look I'm going for. Not overbearing and flashy yet still keeps the muscle car look. Very nice.
