What kind of fog lights did you get that fit the V6 grill?
Body kits for GTs should fit V6s but you will need extra
OEM GT items to make it fit correctly. Like fender liners and such.
Seesignature for my mods
How bout some pics of YOUR unmodded stang?

I would never put 20's on my car. Slows it down TOO much.
NO WAY I would ever put them on a V6, I could imagine the feel of the slow down in a sixxer.
Handling will be affected too.
If you want to go with bigger wheels, ESPECIALLY with a sixxer. I personally would URGE you to go with 18's.

Those wheels are going to slow you down pretty dang good man.
You need to think about it before you do it.
It's your car but at least take the time to think about it....
If you did not already... read my post above your last one.
Hell, my 18" Roush ended up slowing me down some. They are pretty heavy for 18's.
But I cannot feel a difference but I'm sure it shows a .1-.2 diff on the timeslip perhaps.
But the 20's you WILL feel. and it WILL show.
Do you care at all how fast your car is?
If you do, DONT go with 20's.
If you don't and really are set on them, do it. But it is gonna affect the speed and the handling too perhaps some.
