I think there is some confusion out here I posted pictures of my car on this post (silver with blue stripes) and it is being confused with the $1300.00 mustang I'm trying to remove my posts but can't seem too. I was merely looking for feedback as I'm a newbie I apologies for the confusion especially to the original poster. As soon as I'm able to remove my pictures and posts I will oh btw nice job on the mustang you really cleaned that car up nicely.

You don't need to remove anything... as there is nothing wrong with your car.
I think the members know that you're not the original poster.

At first when i saw the V6, I started to lose interest but I'm glad the trash and nasty-ness saved me! Badass work here! I hope you aren't done, I'd love to see the last few touches, maybe even watch you beef it up a little!

Last ever pic with that ugly bumper on






Had to remove the tail light to get the new bumper on


New bumper on



Time to saw off that old exhaust




Time for the new


Pretty sure this was a pic of me cursing out American Muscle/Pypes for sending me the wrong size exhaust clamps


I don't know who snapped this pic or when they picked up my phone, but must have been my wife or mother. Me and my stepdad trying to get the exhaust to fit right. It was hours of trying to bend each piece right and finding that no matter what we did, something didn't fit right.





Getting the new hangars up for that LH exhaust... after tapping the holes we realized we put them on backwards the first time.


Wanted the tip out just enough to read the pypes logo, but not obnoxiously sticking out.





Awesome transformation your car looks great!
