are you putting sound deadener in or are you trying to keep the car light? What are the specs on your motor?

There will be an H-Pipe but we were just fiting everything until it comes in.
The car will be completly covered with dynomat and sound deadener.
And the color is a Ferarri color called Grigio Alloy. Here is a better pic of what it looks like with light on it. The above pics were taken on a cloudy day.

Nice, seems like in both pics it has a bit of a blue hue to it. I found the other pics in that other thread too, does it have a lot of flake? looks sweet.
Are you still goin to pursue the tungsten grey racing stripes that you were talking about in that other thread?

It dosnt have much flake at all in it but more of a smooth look to it. As for the stripes I dont think I will go with them. I am going to a classy, high end, exotic look to the car and I think stripes will make it look like everything other mustang on the road right now.

I agree, less is more.

how about suspension. Mine was just like yours after sitting at paint and body for so long, had that 4x4 look to it. What springs are you going to run in the front/rear?
Also, what size rubber are you running on those 17x9's?
