Since everything else is painted white on your car I think carrying the paint around on the sideskirts and rear would look really nice. Maybe leave the lower part of the rear valance unpainted just for some contrast, like the grilles up front.

Got sunny weather and polished up my GT500 and blasted it down the highway! First run since putting it away in Oct.

Haven't seen my s197 in about a week. I know it's in the garage, but she's covered up and I don't know when the next time the cover will come off. Maybe mustang week?

UUUGGGHHH!

Wouldn't you know it... I spoke too soon as American Muscle screwed up my order.

They sent me some tacky stick on hood scoop when I ordered a roof spoiler.

Seriously starting to lose interest in American Muscle. They seem to have Website problems or fulfillment problems or incorrect inventory all the freakin time.

This would be number 3 on the screw-ups. And as the 3rd time... I'm gone.

What a downer. Now I gotta return this stick on frisbee and see if they can't screw things up any more. I absolutely hate non-functional ornaments.

IDIOTS

If you decide to do it post pics, Cruizin. And with AM, yeah they can be extremely ****ty on their shipping. It's fast shipping, but I've had a lot of issues with them. To their credit, they always get it fixed, but it's still irritating as hell.

I drove mine... And found out how to stop getting such ****ty gas mileage. Yes, I know we don't get these cars to save on gas, but getting 18-19 combined was killing me. Got it up to the mid 20s by going 2-3 mph slower. Good day.
