Default 2006 Tungsten Grey GT Premium

This has been a slow project I've been working on over the last six months as I have time.

Hood carbon fiber from TruCarbon - A61.
Fenders are carbon fiber from TruCarbon - T1.
Stealth hood pins from WMS.
CDC hood struts.
Sideskirts are from Cervini's - Stalker Sideskirts.
Chin Spoiler is from CDC.
DIY front and side splitters.
Shelby brake ducts and lights custom fit to stock front end.
Side mirrors from Carbign Craft.
20" American Muscle Shelby Razors with Nitto tires.

Eibach Pro System Plus on the suspension.
Ford Racing Rear Control Arms
WhiteLine front control arm brace
Shelby bumpsteer kit.
Boss 302 Strut Tower Brace

Borla/Shelby Turbo Mufflers

Interior carbon fiber pieces from Carbign Craft. Gauge Cluster, Dash and Vent Bezels, and center console. The radio bezel and airbag cover have been wrapped in carbon fiber to match.

I'm sure I missed a few small details.

Next stop new seats, rear seat delete from Raceskinz, leather wrapped dash, and most importantly gotta fill those 20's with some brakes from Wilwood.

Looks awesome man! Your Mustang is really coming together. The Shelby Razor's really go nicely with your other exterior mods, great work!

Thanks for sharing your build with us, please let me know if you ever have any questions or need some assistance with any future modifications!

Thanks for the compliments!

Dan there are alot of parts from AM on this car from the CDC Chin spoiler. polished grill, painted radiator covers, strut tower brace, new plugs and accel COPs, Eibach suspension system, rear control arms, rear deck cover, billet interior trim pieces, CDC lighted door sills, and the wheels and tires. The Razors are by far my favorite addition. Always enjoy the great customer service and product selection from AM.

Regards,

Recently picked up an axle back exhaust kit from Mackenzie Mustang. Its a modified version of the Mac exhaust. Absolutely love the tone and can't wait to add the Dyna-tech LT's to complete the exhaust system. Only downside is the drone from the tin can that is our trunks was a little to much, and I know would only get worse once I install the rear seat delete kit next week. So I set off to cure the drone. I started with an overkill layer of Dynamat anti vibration tiles. You really only need to cover 25% of an area, anything more is overkill. Next I went to a local shop and picked up a sheet of 4" high density foam and 2" acoustic egg crate. Against the back seat the first layer of foam was cut to a wedge shape to fit the angle of the back seat. Then followed up with a flat layer of the 4" HDF, with a final layer of the acoustic egg crate. The tunnel at the top was also filled with blocks cut from the 4" foam, and the rear quarter panels around the wheel wells was also filled with the HDF. The drone is drastically reduced, at high way cruising speeds is non existent. The only time a get a hint of drone now is at lower speeds when the car is under load, but even that is dramatically reduced. Once I tear out the interior to redo the front seats and add the rear seat delete I'll add additional acoustic treatments to the inside of the cabin. Well worth the $90 in foam and still have a great exhaust note.

FWIW, the only thing I would reconsider are the Cervini side skirts. they look to be a bit lower than the front facia and also the rear end of the car. Plus, in the pics they seem to curve out a bit at each end. Could be an optical illusion but that is the way I see it.

The side skirts from Saleen 05-09 model year has a similar look the Cervinis but don't hang as low and might make for a more balanced look.

Just my opinion and it is a small observation on an otherwise flawless look. Good job!!
