It's tough to tell in photos.


But in person, it's diffcult not to notice.

Wow, how incredibly tacky.

OP, you should copy this exactly:



But in all seriousness, flames are gay. Not only are they incredibly played out, but there's no better way to say "I'm a flamer" (get it?) than painting flames on your car.

Stick to the basics. The 99-04 Mustangs are good looking cars from the factory. Put a set of nice rims on it, maybe some Cobra body parts, and a nice hood (not one overloaded with stupid looking scoops) and you'll have a nice looking car.

Schmallz!!!... your cars are SO sick bro! Well, except for that front license plate. I bet California makes you put one up there huh? It looks kinda weird.

You are a lucky man!

Ok, now this is all well and good, but WHO HAS PAINT!!!

Hasn't anyone on this site painted anything on their cars? A stripe, an accent, a fancy pinstripe...anything?

I hate that front plate too, makes my car look like it has buck teeth. There was a Cop back home that got me twice within 1 year for no front license plate. I didn't want to drill holes in the front of the bumper. So I taped it on with a high strength double sided tape, pulled it off after the first fix it it ticket was signed off, and decided to leave it on after the second fix it ticket.

What a jerk.

I don't think I can name him outright, but he's a rookie, and is known as Shenanigans to most.

Schmallz...you just need to creatively figure out a way to hover a mounting plate so it can sit up right. I'm sure somebody out there has done something like that. What is the style of that bumper called?

type in your style bumper in google and front license and you're bound to find something. They may even make some kind of mounting kit.

Always been a fan of either a two tone or the clean look, since you're a vert I'd say make it clean. A clean looking car will stand out regardless of where you're at. If you really wanna paint it maybe add some pearl to the black and throw a couple layers of clear on top to give it a wetter/deeper look.

It's a Cervinis Stalker Bumper.

I'm not sure what style of Side Scoops the 01s have, but I thought this looked kind of nice.

The plastic was faded and was no where close to being black like it should have been.

Just high quality silver/chrome spray paint and lots and lots of clear coat.
