car looks NICE!! I also like what you did with the intake(painted). I also have been kicking around doing the same thing. Did you use base coat paint? And then cleared it? Thanks

RE: Had my car at a Car Show over the weekend.
To answer a couple of questions...
Letters on the trunk. They are from "Wooddashexperts - Formally knows as dashkitstore". Aluminum pieces.... you can order them made out of a selection of like 50 different options. This is also where I got the dash and console pieces.
===>>>Link to "Mustang" letters
===>>>Link to 05' Mustang Dash Kits
More pics... yup.. I do...
Intake Painting... I preped it by cleaning with rubbing alcohol, then used "Plastic Paint" to prime it. (Leow's or Home Depot) -- the can will be labled "specially formulated for adhearing to plastics". Do not use regular primer.. your paint will flake off. You can put the hose back on after a couple of hours.. but have to wait a couple of days before you paint with your color paint... use Enamal paint for the color coat, and chose what finish you want when you buy the paint, I used glossy. If you use automotive color, you will have to put the flex in the paint before using it. I have removed the hose several times since painting it and there is no sign or flaking, cracking or pealing.
On the side... Actually, I liked being on the end of the row... in this case I was the first car people saw when walking up from the entrance gate. These mustangs really lood GOOD from a distance, and people had a full unobstructed view of my car being on the end.

Hey Professor - was this show in/near St. Louis?? That looks like a great show. I'm looking to travel around a little more next year with mine, and St. Louis is only about 4 hours from me. Is there a website with details about the show, so I can look it up next year?
Maybe I'll see you there next year and we can represent the cool MF'ers

Sowaxman.
Yup... In a HUGE park in South County.
The show was put on by "Show World".
http://www.showworld.net/index.htm
They put on like 8 shows a year... prizes, awards, trophies, gifties, and $$$ from a 50/50. Usually it is like $20 to register your car but the money goes to charity.
