I personally like the 20"s on your Stang, especially with the mods on your car. ;-)

I wasn't really asking if I should tear my body kit off, but since you did bring it up, let's see your car. Sounds like a real panty-dropping special.....

I can't think all the people that compliment the white gt are "just being nice". It gets more comments on it's good looks than the gt500 and '03 cobra combined. You don't like it, and that's ok. It's funny how different our two opinions of what look good and what doesn't differs. If I get rid of anything on the car it would be the side scoops and ducktail.

So I take it you like the looks of the 18" stock wheels.....lol.

Here...vintage skunk, just for you:

Your car is on a mission. My car is out to look pretty. Lol.

I think I miss the deep dish look of the previous wheels. There's just something missing that I can't put my finger on.

Now Shella... you know I'm not singling you out - that was a general comment on how I love being different! And your car IS pretty - and anyone lucky enough to know would agree... so is the driver

P.S. - LOVED your reply to the "cowboy"... LOL!

I agree but it's just not my style. It seems well put together but I think all these guys that go nuts with body mods end up making it look like a Transformer that got stuck half way between car and robot.

I would love to have 20's on my car, but I've decided to not add the extra weight and to keep a stock appearance. I know the GT doesn't qualify for a sleeper status, but I've decided to leave it looking like a stock GT to surprise those who try me after the Whipple install. I'm going to do other weight reducing mods to help gain faster acceleration too.
