Yeah between the gears and the driveshaft, I'm hoping the car is "frisky".

Thanks guys! The wheels are Hot Wheels Sixty-Eights, but they look kind of bullety or similar to Mach 1 wheels. I got a crazy deal on them from Discount Tire Direct. $55/each on clearance with a $50 coupon for web orders. I literally paid like $184 for all 4 of them shipped to my door... I just couldn't pass up the deal. They look better than I could have hoped for on the car.
I was originally thinking I'd go get tint done next Friday, but I think I may take her to the shop instead for a gear install.

Great pics!
Is that chin spoiler three piece? So the rear spoiler is a GT500 model? Does it just bolt on in place of a regular spoiler? In person does the CF hood look a lot different from the rest of the car?
I REALLY like the understated look that you have! If you can call a car with spoilers and an induction hood understated.
I like no fake scoops and no stripes as that is how I would (and may) do it.

I agree on the standard stripes, I just wanted to go a different way. There is a flat black stripe down both sides and on the back of the trunk lid as well (graphic-express.com). Here are a couple more pics:

Thanks! The chin spoiler is a CDC Classic, and its one piece. The rear spoiler is a GT500 replica off eBay. They are generally of good quality and bolt on easily. I think it was around $120. The CF hood is more noticeable in person. Its not black, so its pretty obvious that its aftermarket. I've gotten nothing but compliments on it. The guys at the mechanic shop and the tint shop all commented on it today saying it looked great.

The car is a weekend toy, so I can take the risk. I have an '08 F-150 pickup for my daily driver... at least its a Ford.

Thanks. I think I must be too old at 34 to get the whole "big wheels" thing. The 20s with rubber bands around them look whacky to me. 
This is a muscle car. It belongs having more tire than wheel IMHO. 17's are big enough. I'll leave the oversized wheels to the players in the Escalades, lol.

i like the hood and have been throwing around the idea of getting a CF hood to help take some more weight off the car at the track. how much did that hood set you back? i'm thinking of either getting a cowl or sticking with the same hood i have but in CF
