Default Pics Of My Baby plus Question

Before we get to the eye candy I wanted to know in you should do a wheel alignment after you put on new wheels with lower profile tires (17" stock GT rims with the 235 perellis)? Also for you guys that are running the same setup as me, what pressure do you keep in the tires and what do you torque them at (I did 'em at 105 lbs instead of the recommended 100 for my old stock wheels)?

Now for the eye candy that I promised.....










What do you guys think about the front shot with the painted screws? I think it makes the front bumper look ever better.

Stang: 2005 Screaming Yellow V6 Premium, Standard Trans.

Mods: Drop in K&N, Decals, Stock GT Wheels, GT front bumper and grille, Removed antenna, Painted front licence plate screws black, Sans front licence plate (no po-po problems yet).

Near Future: Track Lock and Gears

Distant Future: Blower, Magnaflow Catbacks, Cold Air Intake [need $, willing to accept charity ]

Very cool graphics; original, I have not seen anything like it.
I have the same tires (different wheels) and keep them at 35psi for every day use, I don't know the torque setting though.
PS How does the color of the graphics change from day to night?

NICE STANG! I really like the graphix, IMHO I would get rid of the mustang stripe and just leave the pony graphic and add the Gt rocker panels, but great work it looks awesome!

The horse part is black-reflective vinyl, there has to be a high intensity light shining on it for it to change color, ex. camera flash. The "mustang" part is just regular black vinyl.

I totally agree with you and I might whenever I move into a city, but up here in Fort St. John (Northerrn Canada) there are so many rocks and I would hate to have little black spots everywhere on the side-skirts (there are several dents in the rocker panels already). The stripe definetly would go when I paint the skirts unless I get rally stripes .
