appearance make over - 2013 MCA race red convertible
I won the make over from Classic Design Concepts. The process was started at Mustang Alley during the Woodward Dream Cruise and finished yesterday.
Got the hood struts, dead pedal, light bar - then moved on with the RTR grill, chin spoiler, side skirt extensions, rear skirt extensions, rear diffuser, and the license plate surround.
New custom lighted door sill plates. They say "Woodward Dream Cruise 2012" on the left, and "By Classic Design Concepts" on the right. The center section is lit and says "2013 MCA EDITION"
And a new hood graphic (says "Powered by Ford" - I'll have to get a better picture of just the hood graphic)
This is what the license plate area looks like stock
And this is where it started
I need to change the lower grill to the black billet from a GT/CS, or wait for CDC or Roush to start selling their new open lower grill in black. I also either need to fabricate my own mount to put the tri-bar back on the grill or wait until CDC gets their badge mount done.

Thanks - can't sell you the CS grill, I don't have one LOL. I have the MCA which is the same as the CS but in gray rather than black. I'm looking for the CS lower myself.
And 07blackgt, thanks for the photoshop. I was thinking about that as a winter project and wondering how it would look! Guess I better talk to the painter - I will save that picture to share with him.
edit: I just noticed something else - you added the tri-bar from the original grill to the right side of the RTR - I like that too

I realized that I didn't get a good shot of the new hood graphic - so took a few more pictures, including the dead pedal. The dead pedal makes for a much more comfortable drive. It is just enough of a change that my left foot is held in a much better position.
(it was clean before I took it out of the garage for pictures! My wife cut the grass today and shoes picked up some clippings!)
