Thanks! I have a BMR ajustable panhard bar that im going to put on in a week or two once the springs settle.


How long should I wait before doing an alignment?

I put the whole Eibach sportline kit on mine two weeks ago, and I didn't notice any additional drop after the second day. Do the panhard soon, and absolutely before you get an alignment. I have a foot in the purist camp with regard to graphics on my car, but that beauty is your car...do whatever the hell you want to it.

Loving the ride height!! The hood spears would look killer accented with some nice, silver wheels!

Also don't forget the Boss brake-lines. Does the new 5.0 have the:
Track Pack/3.73 Thorson posi/Boss radiator and oil cooler? The alum block/head needs cool which is why a heat extractor is the only opening your hood needs.
Read my signature...

Bojangles, your car looks fantastic. 1/2 of the fun in a Mustang is making it yours and unique. Paint it bright pink with purple polka-dots if you like and no one can say a word about it.

Ah, yea we can...and you better believe some would. It ain't all rainbows and lollipops around here. If you can't take some negative feedback, you don't need to post in a public place.
Spears look good, would look better with a rocker or some type of side panel striping to accent. Those rear window louvers need to go imo. They just look too big and out of place with the lines of your car.

I agree on both points. I wanted to try out the vinyls before I made anymore investments.

The louvers were put on my the previous owner and I love them some days and not so much others.
