Default Finally Pics!

Finally, here are some BEFORE and AFTER pics of my 'Stang - the before pics were taken the week I bought her, and the after pics were done today after taking her in for her first detail. Yeah, the BEFORE pics are a lot brighter because it was really sunny that day I took the pics, there was a lot of overcast today.

BEFORE:








AFTER:










So far my mod list is

Show:
- 35% all around
- Clear corner lenses
- Shorty antenna
- GT rear bumper
- GT500 spoiler

Go:
- FRPP Dual Exhaust kit

And of course my future mod list -

Show:
- In the summer I'll be switching to the GT front bumper w/ Bullitt grill + off center Stripe horse badge

Go:
- Stock GT500 wheels
- FRPP Mustang V6 handling package (Lowering springs, dampers, front and rear sways)
- Upgrade to 8.8 rear w/ tlok and 3.73 gears
- And of course, X-Charger

Very nice! Love the GT500 spoiler. More and more of us are converting to the rear GT bumper instead of doing the "cutouts".... I can see why! Your car looks sharp.

Any front bumper mod in the horizon?

BTW, this is the look that I'm going for, except I'm looking for the Tri-Bar emblem w/ the Pony facing the other direction...

This is Fred Malibu's - this look looks amazing in the windveil color.


Also, does anyone know if a V6 corner lense will fit onto the GT front bumper?

It's Alloy Metallic - I got the bumper from Ninosport.com for $230, you can also find them on newtakeoffparts.com for cheaper for $160 I believe - you kind of have to be patient when you go out looking for the GT rear because both of the those sites vary their stock of color choices, one day they'll have your color, the next day it'll be gone. But I believe ODYSSEY bought his from Newtakeoff.com and had to re-paint his.

The install is pretty easy - the only trouble I had was reusing the plastic bracket from the V6 to the GT.

Thanks for the compliment!

Yep, I'll be going with the GT front this summer - check out Fred Malibu's front - that's the exact look that I'm going for except I want a TriBar Pony emblem facing the other direction.

I don't want to go with the fogs if anyone is wondering because I don't want to look like a poser - so getting the Bullitt grill w/ the TriBar Pony emblem is great alternative, plus it looks awesome.

I thought about the GT front, but I love my PP grill too much. What plastic bracket did you have a problem with? I thought it was a direct swap on the rear bumper.
