Quick New Pics (56k welcome... only 2 pics)
Today was pretty nice here in MA so we took the cars out and put on the wheels, exhaust, etc. Better pictures will come, but I just took a few quick shots.
The Mach is my car and I installed H&R SS Springs, BBS RX wheels with Nitto 555r's, splash guards and a Magnapack catback.
The GT is my Dad's. He installed the FR500's and a custom grill. He has a JLT and Mach Chin awaiting install.

Thanks guys
The splash guards are Ford. I bought them off of a friend. I don't have any close up pictures yet, but they are molded to the body and they look pretty clean.

VERY NICE! You got any more pics of the splash gaurds? I was looking at getting somefor mine. Are they aftermarket or Ford?

The wheels look great man! What size wheels/tiresdid you end up going with again? I really love the silver and red combo. Really livens up the car.

The wheels are BBS RX and they are 17x9's. I went with 275 Nitto 555R in the rear and 555 up front. The wheels were a ridiculously good deal. You should get those Matt. That would solve your tire rotation problem with aftermarket wheels.

This guy on the registry is selling some BBS RK's that are the silver finish. Trying to see what price.

Wow! 275's look great with that angle! Thanks for inspiring me! I was really tempted to just grab my ***** and buy some 17x10.5" but I think I would regret that lol. The 275 Nittos don't look too small? I would get some 17" FR500's but they just don't look right... something about it.

I saw the RK's for sale on M1R, but they were about $300 more than these wheels and they are 18". I don't like the idea of paying $280 for tire when I could get the 17" equivalant for $180. If your car is lowered the 17's look pretty good. I will probably snap some more pics today if I get a chance and a good location while I am out.
Here are these wheels for sale on eBay: BBS RX
They come direct from BBS with lugs, stems and everything. The set is only $575 shipped. The wheels usually sell for $300 each, but BBS stopped making a lot of wheels and these were one of them.

The 275 Nitto doesn't look too small. It doesn't compare to a 315, but it looks wide enough for me. I also have 1" spacers in the rear.
