My 2006 Vista Blue GT 4.6
This shot shows how the tires protrude while still being flush. I love it.
The front coil spring.
The drop in the front. Only 1" but looks lower with the taller tire.
The rear wheel at a close up.
A complete side shot. The rear still sits high but trust me, when compared to stock it is definitely lower.
They are a staggered set. 18x10 in the rear and 18x9 in the front. Tires up front are 255/45/18 and the rear is 275/45/18. The tires are Nitto 555.
Ford Racing Springs.
I have since tuned it from 87 to 93 and installed 4.10 gears and the C&L Racer intake. Wicked now (to me since I know some of you guys are pushing twice my HP haha):clap:
Also installed Hawk Street Pads Front and Rear. Stocks on a dime now. The combo of tire and drop REALLY changed the handling. Feels like a completely different car.

Looks nice my man but... I would finish her up with the blacked out look (tails and head lights).. Also (me) I'm a big fan of the GT symbol on the side of the 05-09 GT's. Maybe slap it back on and get it painted black. Also get rid of the antennae. Tilll this day, I don't know what Ford was thinking about making that frigging antennae that big. Congrats once again and it's only my suggestions..

As far as the tails and headlights, I am getting the Raxiom smoked headlights and corners which retain the amber bulb. The rear I ordered the black deck lid panel and the black trim but I will not be smoking the tails. Too dark for safety IMO so they will stay OEM.
A sfar as the 'Autobot' symbol, I knew it'd be a hit or miss with the 'audience' but it has some meaning to me haha. I love transformers, have always as a kid. It will be the ONLY corny/silly thing I ever do to this car.

I hate the antenna as well. Trying to get a black 3 inches. I have only been able to find a silver 3 inches. I do not like the 'Shorty' antennas because they're usually still 8 inches which isn't really short.

I didn't know they made a 3 inch antenna...I'll have to look into that.
