No need to be sorry. I know that anything out the norm typically gets flamed around here. I expected it. Next on the agenda are H.I.D.'s, smoking the tail lights, springs, and JL 8's in the door.

Don't take it too hard. Most of us guys here on MF are more conservative when it comes to the looks of a 'Stang. It's more or less an anti-rice reaction, ricers have done some really ugly looking mods on their cars and the result is kind of a "hate" but really not a hate, just folks saying they don't like it, but they do not hate you for it.

As for HID's and smoked out lens, I like them and I do not consider that rice.

But as for far out mods, like massive useless spoilers on a street car (one that will NEVER race), that is rice. And for donks, like the vid of the Reese's wannabe bilboard car, I consider that rice, even though ricers never invented the stupid thing of lifting a coupe or a sedan with wagon wheels.

Yep, only thing that counts is if you like it or not. Not my thing, but it looks ok.
Isn´t that going to need a 2nd mortgage to put new tires on though? Bad enough with mine. Can´t remember how much it cost me for just replacing the 2, but it wasn´t cheap. Ugh.

Anyone who says that they aren't hating is hating. Lol

Looks better in that last picture than it did in the first post. Not sure it's my cup of tea, but to each his own.

If you like them, that is what matters. For me, anything over a 18 doesn't look right on a mustang.....but that's just me. I love the stock 22's on my vipertruck.

By the way, DEFINATLY get that thing lowered.
Its been about a week now and the car handles fine. My wheels do not shake or vibrate like some of the 2010's out there. The ride was harsher on my 06 so I know that had something to do with the quality of the 06. I had 20's on that one. Maybe its just the the 10+ quality making it so I am not able to hear or feel the road as much.
