LIGHTNING BLUE S550 MUSTANG Thread

I'll let you in on a little secret, my tips are chrome and not removable as well. I wasn't sure I would like it and I am a visual person so I spend $6 on some plasti dip and put on about 6 coats to see what it looked like. I had intended to go permanent if I liked it but the plasti dip looks like the day I did them months back so I haven't been in a hurry. Plus I could change my mind later and the dip comes off super easy.

Did my second event on the bone stock suspension/tires. I'm at 1776 miles and the out sides of the tires are pretty much done. Looking forward to going to 285 wide square with 19x10's and getting some suspension goodies.


A little bit of that front tire lift as I was full throttle exiting a long left hander in a four wheel drift.

Cleaned her up today and threw on some fender accents, which do you think looks better? Black or white?

Black ones look better

Agreed ^

Black, there should be no white with this color scheme...imho, lol

I had seen some nice looking black stripes with white pin stripes is what made me try it out. It looks okay in some pictures, but it definitely sticks out a bit much. After putting on the first one I decided to keep the other side black and that seems to be the consensus so sometime this week I'll swap out the white.

Forgot to post my nice shot from this morning here, so take a look at that too.

I freaking love the way this color reacts to light.

Can't let the best color fall to page 2!

Awesome! How much is your car lowered and what is the backspacing on your wheels?

The wheels are from LMR and I have no idea about the spacing. Car is not too much lower than stock but it is...whatever the drop is for GT350R front springs and BMR handling springs out back (see sig).
