Welcome to the KB club.

Go to the hood and sell your 22s. Then get something worth a ****.

Plan on installing a clutch in a few months. Mcleod RST.

In regards to the fender scoops in the front, i would not get them those would take away from the look of your car and make it look cheap and dumb, i would suggest these and i also have been thinking of getting them as well

No way I'd part with the 22's, way too sharp and the compliments are unreal, plus... my car, hehe

I am getting the hood for sure, even paying extra to have racing striped painted, and no vinyl. If I have to buy a new beefy clutch after the winter, so be it, money is made to be spent!

I couldn't agree MORE! It would turn it from a super stang 500 horsepower show stopper, to something more akin to a 16 year old's first car with stickers and a bumble bee exhaust, hahaha!

I am sticking with the best of the best and NOT overdoing it. It's going to be a thing of poetry soon. Thanks!

PS: That link you pasted for me to check out shows a hood also sold on AM, but... what caught my eye was the Super Snake replica (Trufiber GTS-4) hood for $599, seems like a lot less than American Muscle sells the same hood for here: http://www.americanmuscle.com/trufib...hood-0509.html

Hmmmm......

The same exact hood is $674.99!?!?!?

might just be the price difference of buying directly from the company or from a vendor. Not sure why the difference though.

Does anyone know where I can get the matte vinyl Super Snake single stripe pre-cut forr the 2005-2009 GT? I am ordering the GT-500 Super Snake hood tonight from the hotel room on vacation

PS: ORDERED the Cervini Side Exhaust full system with skirts and all! Woooo.

-All I have left before Winter is a few small things now.
- NEVERMIND... just ordered high quality 8 year matte black 20'' single Super Snake stripe + matte black hash marks for the fender from Decal Shoppe online!

I can understand you like the 22"s. although I HATE that size wheel.
It leaves no room for good rubber.

If you are supercharging your car with such power as you say then you obviously want the best bang for your buck.

Those 22"s are going to SLOW your car down buddy.
It makes no sense really to spend that much cash making a monster
power car and just slowing it down because of some "BLING".

You NEED good rubber for that power my friend.
You REALLY need to go to a lower sized wheel.
The rubber will make your car look much more like a beast as well and not just like some bling bling guy.

Don't forget the Mustang is a muscle car and muscle is built to have rubber and LOOK like it has the rubber to smoke others.

Really man... you will be doing yourself a HUGE favor if you drop that wheel size.
At least go with some 19"s or 20"s.

I know it's your car and your right but come on man.. you aren't driving a donk.
You are driving a muscled-out Mustang. Give the car it's due.
Some 19"s or 20"s will at least give you SOME rubber to show.

22"s in my opinion also make the car look like it has bicycle wheels with little tires.
Like a ten speed or something hehe.

You won't regret dropping those 22"s for some smaller tires when all is set and done.
In fact you will thank yourself later.
Your car isn't a "pimp my ride".

Your car is a "blow the doors off your competitor" car!
Drop those 22"s and put some muscle rubber on it!
That much power NEEDS good rubber my friend!
