Saleen kit on a v6????? I was thinking about that but people will think you actually have a saleen, and if you get beat by a honda or something it'll ook really bad. If I had a v8 then I would put a saleen kit on it, but its your car. It would look bad a$$, but I wouldn't do it.

I would say...do what you like. I think it would look awesome. I love saleen body kits, but if you do get one don't buy it off E-bay. It's just a piece of advice. I have a friend that does body work/painting around here, and he has had no luck installing any body kits, or fender kits from ebay. They are just cheaply made. There is always something wrong, too long on one side, not long enough, edges don't match, gaps between it and the vehicle... I knwo they're an awesome deal, trust me I am all about saving money. And the best way to save money here is to get a good one to begin with. I believe a true saleen kit is upwards of 1600 dollars, please correct me if I'm wrong, but you can find some more inexpensive ones anywhere. Look at xenon, stalker, razzi, there are lots out there. I hope this helps, and it's just some advice passed on from one stang lover to another.

I like the look of the car, but it's very sad to see they don't offer pictures at different angles.
"rear end with exhaust" ? the picture they provide is so dark and shadowed i can't even see the back end.

That's one website i'll be staying away from (for browsing parts). at least until they provide more adequate pictures.

Just do a search for Roush Mustangs on google. It's the exact kits. Nice thing is the price, I heard of one poor kid that was going to shell out $3.5g's for a Roush kit, luckily I led him in the right direction.

Yeah i like both the saleen kits and the roush kits. I think either one you would really be happy with. I myself am trying to get a saleen kit, but whatever you think will look cool.

Saleen Kits from Saleen are $1200 shipped. I had to buy a new one during the rebuild.
