Some Appearance Stuff on my 12' GT
I'm working for my Uncle Sammy overseas in Germany. What's the nice thing about being here and driving a new Mustang? It's fun...nuff said. Anyway here's some pictures of what my buddy and I did to our Mustangs. His is a 2011:
CS lower fascia and grille:
After we finished mine, we did his:
A few days later my suspension was complete. These are what went on:
Steeda Sport Springs
Steeda HD Upper Mounts
Koni STR.T Struts/Shocks
BMR Adjustable Panhard
TPS Slotted Rotors
Hawk Brakes
Here's a shot of the TPS Slotted Rotors:
These are bad phone pics, but you can kinda see the difference in my buds stock suspension compared to mine after lowering:
His suspension got done the next day, but I don't have any pics. Once the weather cooperates a bit more--expecting snow today again--I'll get some better shots of both our rides.
Yesterday I recieved some more toys. First, I wanted something a little different for a shift **** and GrabberPony delivered. These pictures don't do it justice. It's very nice and I'm happy with it:
It still needs a bit of centering, but I just slapped it on so my hand didn't stick to the stock silver ****.
I also purchased a new USB stick. My old one was too long and I kept dropping my phone on it--since the storage isn't that great in this car. You can see it's just too long:
I bought this one:
Much more room. The USB is only 16GB, but that's more than enough for me. I'm not a huge audiophile guy and I have about 10GB of music on it.
Anyway, here's how she looks as of yesterday:
Before anyone gets on me, I'm removing the caliper covers as soon as I change to my summer rims...they look tacky and I don't like them...
More to follow when the weather gets nice here. Have a good day!

Forgot to mention--and I don't know how to edit the thread--I also added a BMR adjustable Panhard. It centered the rear nicely.
EDIT: lol...funny, but I can edit from home, but not from work. That will teach me to post/peruse the forum while at work.

Well, after putting on the billet grille I just didn't like it. It was just not stable IMO. While washing--the first real nice day of the year here--I noticed the grille was loose and had a bit of a rattle feel to it. I decided to pop the cash for the Saleen grille. What I really like about it is the fact that it's all one piece with the surround included. It took me about 45 minutes to change out the billet and put in the Saleen. Very easy to do.
Here's a few pics:
I like the look much better. I should have just bought the Saleen from the get go. No real loss because I have a friend that wants the billet. I lose a little by selling at a reduced price, but I can handle it. I recoup most of the money so it's no big deal.
I have some black 5.0 emblems for the sides and a Coyote emblem for the grille that will be going on as soon as I finish working 12-hour shifts. Probably at the end of March...just when the weather should be stable around this part of the world.
Thanks for looking!
