Default Project complete (sort of)- pics provided

Well, after the installation of lowering springs and dampers (before and after in 2005-2009 appearance section), this is how she will sit for good. I'll be tinting the taillights and side markers but other than that, this is how she will sit. I'm refusing the notion of any other mods as all of the suggestions has really thinned out my wallet over the past year haha. I might have to buy new tires soon, but I won't be getting new wheels. From this point on, I'll be continuing to save for a 2013 (maybe even 2015?) 5.0 upon graduation and acquiring my first job during my career.

Here's the mod list: Sport Edition ST4 wheels (18x9 all around), Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tires (255/45/18s), SCT tuner and Steeda CAI, Pypes polished shorty headers, true dual exhaust with flowmasters, Roush quarter window louvers, aluminum rear window louver, 30% tint all around, sequential taillights, chrome taillight trim, DG customs black billet grille, Cervini's 2.5" cowl hood, GT/CS front bumper cover, Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs, Tokico HP series dampers, painted mirror covers, custom shift ****, Escort Passport 8500 radar detector, shorty antenna, Rockford Fosgate 300W amp, Rockford Fosgate dual P1 10" subs, blue felt trim, and new spark plugs.

What I've spent to date: Just North of 7k

Last mods: Tinted tails, removal of chrome trim, tinted side markers.

And here's the pic **** from tonight taken with my point and shoot (I have no shame):



























I'll still be on here almost daily, but I will not be taking any future suggestions. I can't get sucked in again; gotta keep my eye on the prize haha.

Don't be so bashful with pics next time!

Car looks great. I dig the chrome, seems retro to me.

What spoiler do you have on there? Do you like the 3 piece?

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments.

The spoiler is from Xenon. The dealership had it upon time of purchase and the mustang I was interested in was spoilerless. Had them install this one to "sweeten the deal" haha. It's not bad I guess, I just really rather have had the GT500 wing if that had been an option...
