Hello M6G,

decided to make a post build thread of my N/A 505+hp 2015 mustang GT, here is some very quick history - bought the car back in 2015 at the dealership in Korea while I was stationed at Osan AB - 2015 mustang GT Premium in Oxford white with the "redline" interior only other option was the 3.55 gears. the car is now FBO and was recently dynotuned putting down 440 whp/400wtq. the most interesting thing about the car is obviously the grille (link on that build in sig) also follow the build on IG @cheval_le_blanc thanks for stopping by.

first day picking her up
IMG_8683.jpg


literally had these before the car and was officially my first mod...that i dont have anymore (replaced with gloss black vents with blinkers from the 2016)

IMG_8729.jpg



Next up was the CDC Outlaw spoiler which again been replced with the RTR chin.

IMG_8727.jpg


IMG_8700.jpg



Next up exhaust! ordered up the ROUSH quad tip with the rear valence (passive) didnt get the active kit until recently.

IMG_8726.jpg



Euro tails and the Euro decklid was ordered as soon as i could find them in 2016 which was hard to do (ended up buying them from a dealership in poland)

IMG_8728.jpg

IMG_8725.jpg

IMG_8702.jpg



next on my list was to 'stop that hop' so a few Steeda suspension components was ordered

IMG_8707.jpg

IMG_8724.jpg



the Steeda CAI was the first engine performance mod ordered and I ended up running this setup with the insert and stock tune for almost 2 years until recently

IMG_8705.jpg



NOOOW the grille project. this sucker took about 6 months total to be completing including figuring out how the hell I was going to do it. the full build thread is in my sig so i'm going to be brief and say I basically spliced a GT grille from the 2014 GT into the 2015 50th anniversary grille

IMG_8709.jpg



after this was wrapped up the RTR tech 7 wheels with mickey thompson street comps was ordered. they came in gloss black and scuffed from shipping sooo i got a partial refund and used that to get the rims custom powdercoated to a 'steel pearlescent grey'

IMG_4941.jpg


IMG_5066.jpg



because i apparently love the products RTR puts out, the RTR chin replaced the CDC

IMG_7926.jpg



I then moved to the interior and outfitted it with the GT350 steering wheel and aluminum paddle shifter extensions

IMG_8730.jpg


IMG_8732.jpg



the last interior addition was the 'axel spin' dash trim from the 50th anniversary models

IMG_8462.jpg


43_B4_B3_CB_2189_4_A9_B_811_C_049_B14_AB120_B.jpg



Here comes the POWER. GT350s intake and throttle body was installed with Pypes longtube catted headers.

The car was dynotuned last month and it put down 440whp/400wtq adding either 15% to 18% drivetrain loss (auto here so i leaned to 18%) the 5.0 is cranking out 520hp! :headbang:

IMG_7309.jpg


IMG_7347.jpg


IMG_7348.jpg



the ROUSH active kit was ordered (the setup was way too loud for suburb living

IMG_7810.jpg


IMG_7858.jpg



and with that the 'build' is done (for now) also, totally random, but to my surprise the car was in the last American Muscle catalog

great build. nicely done and not to overly modified. sometimes the spending can get in the way of building a nice classy car vs. a highly moded eye sore.

Good work on your car, jealous of the active exhaust. Also that grille definitely looks unique props on that. You have any issues with cops and those Euro tails?

No issues ever with the euros, i think the only reason they would be illegal is the orange turn indicator but mine have been wired with the U.S. spec sequentials.

I was at a dealer in washington dc looking at a gt350 and one of the sales dudes actually showed me the pic of your car in the American Muscle Magazine.

Thanks to you they have been getting blown up with phone calls and people asking for that grill.

You really need to capitalize on their free advertising for you and start offering them!!

Send me a PM for parts cost and and Id sure buy one thats for damn sure it would look killer on my yellow 5.0!!

Id highly suggest you make a dozen or so and sell them!! Dibs on 1st one LOL!!

Update, finished up modifying the stock engine cover to fit on the gt350 manifold. Here are some quick notes on the process
-used brackets for the cover that i found on ebay (thought this was going to be a simple bolt up and your done...i was wrong)
-had to cut the back of the cover a bit to fit
-vacuum lines on the gt350 manifold had to be re-routed (used longer rubber hoses)
-had to trim the top of the cover down in 2 spots to clear the strut bar

Awesome build! Car looks great.
Where did you get the radiator cover? I like the factory look of it.
