Default Engine Chrome - bling, bling!!

Well I certianly won't win any concours events with my new stang. But that's okay, becasue I am head over heals in love with her.

Anyway, interesting backstory. The gentelman I purchased it from (a long term Mustang guy with an wonderful collection) owns a body shop. It was his personal car for over 20 years, showcasing his skills. He told me he barterd an enitre yard of Mustang bumpers and parts to a guy who owned a chroming company. The result was several thousand dollars worth of detail chroming that is quite amazing (even under the car, truck hiunges, etc.

I certainly could never affor such a project. [:'(]I thought you guys might enjoy a look at all the bling!!!

I think the Recaro seats will really set this car off...

I wasn't sure about the amber fog lights either (it's a veryeasy, very quick fix).

Anyway, have you seen these very often? I wasn't sure if it gave the car a "meaner" more unique look or if it just looked out of place. The gentelman who owned the car before me really liked them.

Sweet color scheme - black with red accents...

Ditto on the amber fog lamps though - never liked them for some reason. I think it attracts too much attention away from the nice lines of the car...

True fog lights are amber in color so the light can cut through the fog. White lights do nothing more than the headlights would. I don't like the looks of them either, but they are fog lights and not driving lights.
