So far so good! The markers and grill look good! Get yourself some wheels and tires to fill up those wheel wells and a cai/tuner combo to get a little more oomph! About the door guards, I've seen some pull them off well, and I've also seen them on some mustangs that just looked out of place. Just my 2 cents though

Nice. But I think your hood would look better on my car. Have it painted alloy for me while the shop removes the ding strips, would you?

How'd your antenna get bent?

So if I did remove it u think it would mess the paint up??
It won't mess up the paint, but since your car is 5 years old, chances are you would have a darker paint stripe under it from the sun fading the rest of the car.
Unfortunately that's what happened to another member on here. He ended up getting a side stripe to cover it.

How would you go about removing the molding stripe? I have one on my Stang as well.
