I like the filler that this piece has. It deletes the scoup look.

will check em' out.. thanks guys...

Not many pics out there on a black car so hard to make a decision/pull the trigger.

The cervini is like $130 but $60 for the SLP is a lottt more tempting just dont like the two indentations on it.

Just more aerodynamic drag. Goes along with all the other nonfunctional, drag inducing doodads, like side scoops and hood scoops that lead to nowhere.

But...I suppose it's all about looks nowadays. It looks OK.

LoL thanks boss..

Being on several forums mostly imports, one of the big things I've found out about these Mustang forums are that there are a lotta old skool guys on here.

If a mod doesn't help you go faster, its not worth it.

Can't blame em' for their mentality there, this is in fact a sports car, a Mustang, not an Accord/Civic, or Jetta.

But the thing about the Mustang becoming such a well built, more refined car than it has in the last few generations, is that its going to attract buyers who are typically used to the fit and finish of foreign cars. That line in the sand that was drawn in quality between foreign/american cars pretty much doesn't exist anymore. The Mustang in my opinion is built to a higher quality standard than my Accord was. Less gaps, less rattles.

So as the mustang recruits typically import buyers (such as myself) - style and mods other than speed, are going to pop up more and more on these forums as people bring what they're used to, and what they know (their personalities) into the Mustang/American Car realm.

Long as everyone is cordial that's all that matters. I did ask for opinions, including non-favorable ones so its all good.

starbai,
You're right of course. Many of us are old school. It's not that we mind a bit of flash, even if it's not a performance inducer. It's the detrimental stuff, like drag inducers, or things that add weight and cost beaucoup bucks.
I'm glad that young folks are attracted to these cars, or for that matter, any car hobby involvement.
The ricers, gearheads, and etc of today are now the hotrodders that we used to be, so it's all good.
And never mind my curmudgeonly ways.

Its really hard to figure out a way to get the rear end of the mustang to look better/ unique... especially since my car is black.

When the car is silver/white/whatever... the contrast of the black lower valance and maybe some blacked out tail lights or tail light black out panels between the lights is easier to work with.

I wanna do a tail light panel of some sort on my mustang. I dont really like carbon fiber and I dont care for the 'slatted' look of the factory piece.

Cervini makes a completely flat one in flat black that I'm highly considering.

But the question is does anyone know if someone makes a honeycomb style one for the 10+ models?

Similar to the 05-09 one...
SilverHorse was going to make one but they said the tooling cost was too great vs demand. i have been waiting for its debut since I got my 2010 Grabber Blue back in July 2009. Finally got word they were NOT making it in an email a few months back.

I had the SHR one on order when it was first announced. They cancelled it last month. It may come back based on future demand per the owner.

That was the only one I wanted and now have nothing

Used the money to order some new front speakers instead.

I like the idea at the top of the window. It looks small enought that it wont look dumb and big enought to keep the water off the back window.
