Looks great, Dave. You did some things I definitely would've been leary of, but it has turned out nice! Now give us some pics with the top DOWN!

Thanks man! Well, today when I took those pics it was about 19 degrees outside with the wind blowing at 35 mph. I'll wait a bit to put the top down

Since you used the same size tire on all the wheels - why even get wider ones in the back? Aesthetics?

Sorry Bro but Staggered usually refers to wider wheels and tires in the back not different diameters. If you don't believe me go to and wheel/tire website and look at the staggered packages they offer. They always have the same diameter wheels all around just wider ones in the back. They will still all be 18s or 20s etc. but the front will be like an 8.5 width and the rear a 9.5 for example.

OP, your car looks fantastic. I love the grey accents. It really sets it off. Very unique.

Sweet ride Dave! I don't post many threads, but I'm a new 2010 V6 Premium owner from Tennessee and I've been following the evolution of your stang! You've done a fantastic job!

I have a black 2010 V6 Premium with Magnaflow single exhaust and tinted windows. I also blacked out the pony in the front as well as the two fender emblems. My Roush splitters should be in this week and am about to order the Shelby rear valance and rear deck panel from CDC to delete the "pan pizza
" on the back. The Shelby valance will allow me to convert my single to dual with an additional Magnaflow! I've upgaded to Xenon headlight bulbs.

Hopefully this summer I can upgrade my shoes to 20X9 Foose Legends (Chrome) all the way around and lower the stance with the Eibach springs.

In any event, just wanted to say great job and thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for the compliments! I'm from Tennessee, Dandridge to be exact.... Near Gatlinburg. I'm glad I gave you some good ideas. That's what this site is all about. I've researched everything here and asked tons of questions before pulling the trigger on most things. Yours is going to look sweet with all those mods. I'm trying to think of what to do next. I have an idea..... But I'll wait and see how that one pans out before jumping too quickly.

Yep, I wanted a wider look in the back, so I went with a wider wheel in the back. The rear wheels look different as well as being wider. I think it's a cool look.
Thats the same thing I thought as well.

Im really liking what you have done with your car Dave. I think everything you have done has pulled together to make a very tastefully modded 2010.
