Hmm, so you went from the 2010 Mustang was the greatest thing on 4 wheels for suspension and handling to trolling this thread.

Bye Felicia.

Thread cleaned of crap. And stay on topic without trolling in the future, if you stay here.

In before the lock!

OP, that car already has an aggressive look in the front IMHO. I agree with others - lose the side stripes. I actually like the placement and how they connect to the hood stripe, but I do not like the pin stripe border and the way the stripe ends by the bumper looks strange. I think it would look great if you ditched the red pin stripe.

You sold your beautiful black/red GT for a bland white Camaro?

Oh, the shame.

Are you importing these cars or are there dealerships there that import them and then sell them at a mark up? I ask because I'm looking to move across the pond and don't want to leave my 2013 GT/CS Convertible behind.

Just shut up and get out. People like you need to go where you can be with people who
like what your driving. I am not cracking on your vehicle here but since you opened it door.

What was the idiot who video taped himself going 199 on a public road that wasnt closed here in va driving?

A Corvette. What do you have up there as your vehicle? Oh a C6, huh, might show some sign of the type of people who own them.

Back to the OP Topic

I would personally get a Roush Style Grill if you want more of a black open look. Definitly keep the black wheels over the other wheels you showed us.

If you want 20s your going to have to give it a slight drop to make it look right in my oppion.

As for the stripes, me I am not crazy about any of it but if your going to keep it just the center stripe on the hood

I would try to find a way to remove all that cluttered badging from the side stripes on the fenders (except the 5.0). Either get black 5.0 emblems or plastidip them. Then get some light fog light tint from AM. Just my .02 but there are waaaaaay too many emblems on the fenders. Must be a Swedish thing as the car in the background in the second pic also has the same three badges/emblems on it's fenders (OVERKILL). "Badges, we don't need no stinkin badges"..


Also maybe get that thing lowered and some new rims (not those hideous ones in the last picture) would make a huge difference in the sinister looks department. The black and red looks good together so far so you have a good start.
