Very good written up work here.

Diggin the solid color up front; best silver I've seen yet.

What's different about your grill and trim? I cannot figure it out.

Fairly close except I replaced the halogen projectors with HID projectors. There's a slight difference between the two although many people still fit the HID bulbs in the Raxiom halogen projectors and don't have any issues. I wanted projectors that are specifically made for HIDs. There's also a different mechanism for changing from low beam to high beam with the ones I have. I have a Bi-Xenon harness that controls the function and now they are exactly like HID lights. Basically all that stangmods is supplying (from what I'm reading in that link) is Raxiom lights w/halogen projectors and putting HID bulbs in there and wiring it up for you. If you want to go that route then you could find the Raxiom lights cheaper-like I did- and purchase a HID bulb kit and do it yourself for much cheaper IMO.

The grille is just a normal Saleen grille:

When I had the fascia, skirts, and rear diffuser painted to match I also had them paint the grille surround and left the center black. Nothing spectacular, but it changes the whole look IMO.

Looks amazing. You have an absolutely killer front end now!

A good write up and even better light cutoff!

Hey folks, I know I'm waaay late on this post but I've been searching all over the net for answers on for the correct HID kit. I have a 2011 Mustang Premium GT and I really wanted the HID's from when I purchased however I was only limited to non-HID selection and for time contraints I needed to get the car, anyhow I purchased the Raxioms from AmericanMuscle.com and I kinda figured that halogen H9 bulbs were pretty weak. I wanted to know if I should and what is the proper 35watt HID kit to use?

Honestly I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting the OEM HID's from silverstateford parts website. Yes it's gonna cost me $2k+ however at least I know they fit and work and it's not aftermarket lighting. Can any of you help me out or guide me in the right way?

Thanks alot!!
