So if you want the emblem to match your car, just go and pick up a can from autozone or w/e that matches your color code, and bingo. perfect. but yea i hear ya, if ya got the money more power to ya to just have someone else do it
Thats cool for your plates. I mean, blue to black isn't too much difference, but CA cops are pretty **** so I'd rather not push it. I didn't feel like hassling with the process of doing the black emblem myself so I was just like eh what the heck, I'll splurge. I wouldn't say I'm made of money tho.. haha

When I first put on the black scoops, I did think that it seemed a little busy, like you said. They didn't turn out 100% how I expected (maybe cuz they're the 99-00 instead of the 01-04, iono) but it's been growing on me.

yea.. I'm not really feeling those scoops, but then again I've never really liked fake scoops.

But other than that I'm a huge fan of black accents (if you can't tell).

I don't like fake scoops either, I thought about converting them to make them functional but it would just increase drag rather than actually cool the rear brakes. I don't think the rear brakes even get that hot to begin with since they're only 1 piston calipers.

The black on your car looks nice. I love the Saleen wheels

you'd be surprised, I've warped rear rotors before on a track, also anyone going downhill tends to drag their brakes. The small rotors in the back overheat really quick.

I went and picked up bullit scoops when someone sideswiped me, I'll be asking to either have them molded or have it completely shaved when I'm done with everything else. Appearance is the last thing on my list, I just keep getting hit by people, and my friend owns a bodyshop.

wow well I haven't been to a track (yet) but I do believe that. I wouldn't go to a track with my stock brakes though, I'd at least upgrade the fronts to a 13" kit and the rears to cross drilled or slotted rotors. I wouldn't consider the Mustang a track car out of the box.

I like your shaved cobra bumper, it looks sick!
