Instead of getting GT500 strut mounts, I got Maximum Motorsports CC plates. The strut tower brace is made by Steeda. The stock STB will not fit the Boss intake manifold, since the intake sits higher than the stock intake.

Looks great!
I'd slap some Matte black stripes on her.
That would match so well and make it look more aggressive!

So many people mess up the tire and wheel combo by putting too little rubber on a wide rim. You nailed it. It looks great!

You also got the ride height exactly right. Glad to see you didn't tuck the wheels in at the top. Excellent example of knowing when enough is enough.

Wow I did not notice that but now that you pointed it out it REALLY does stick out behind the grille.

I think painting it would be a great idea as well!
Good call!

GREAT looking Mustang though!

I still say some Matte Black stripes would put a MUCH more aggressive look to it!

There's just SO MUCHof that blue with tiny black accents.
It needs some more black to balance both colors out.

When that color first came out I KNEW matte black stripes would look KILLER on them.
Especially a supersnake style one!

I MUSTstick with my black mustang as far as color goes. Always have.
But if I had a grabber blue I'd be ALL OVER a matte black stripe job AS SOON as I got that baby!

Would look just SO FRIGGIN' awesome. Right now you have a sporty look.

The matte black stripe job would give you a sporty but aggressive and MEAN look!

I know it's your car but MAN if it were mine I'd IMMEDIATELY DO IT !!!!

Do a photochop to see what it would look like.

Did I write this to show how AWESOME
I thought it would look enough?
LOL !!!!

I just never got around to it. Really don't notice it until you're right up next to it look straight at it.

I've been thinking about getting a matte black hood stripe, but that's about it. I don't want rally stripes.

Hey Swervo, how much did the rims and tires set you back? And what's the offset on the wheels if any. Thanks!
