Time for some more changes to that exterior. I really liked the contrast of the black decklid panel and taillights on the other colors. It's a shame Ford didn't do a matte black decklid panel for us black car owners. Enter the often criticized plastidip. Here's what I did...

I loved the matte black contrast on the gloss! But I'm totally unfamiliar with plastidip and didn't do the best job on the paint. It bubbled in some areas and collected a ton of dust so after a month or so I decided to rip it off. Possible decklid panel and taillight bezels in my future
Let's get one more of that engine bay. Blacked out with yellow accents

Decided it was time for more suspension mods so naturally I called on Steeda Autosports for some subframe stiffening. David was kind enough to send some other things in the care package :clap2: Enter subframe bushings, the subframe alignment kit, and subframe braces. The parts would sit in my spare room for a month or so before also adding the steeda jacking rails

Had some trouble with the passenger side brace line up so I had my buddy open the holes up a bit; however, I had stripped the holes in the front so I had to get those rethreaded before finishing the install
Test drive confirmed though that these parts work! My wheel hop has been drastically decreased!
Can't wait to get those vertical links and toe rods!

**UPDATE**
Well...the car is sold as of 5/25/2017
The black beauty went to Fremont Ford in CA. It has been a bittersweet experience selling my first Mustang, the one I thought initially I'd be holding on to for the life of the car. But don't worry! There is another s550 in my very near future...
...some of you may know Project Whitemare...
In paying homage to the car my friend Nick built I decided to name the car Project White Label. Wiki defines it as:
A white label product is a product or service produced by one company (the producer) that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they had made it.
Is it weird having a car that I didn't build? Eh...yeah. A little. But I've been around Project Whitemare since she was just a bucket of bolt ons. I will be taking over ownership this coming weekend and I cannot wait to continue the journey in this next project

Thanks Lloyd!!
Appreciate the love brother! Yeah that is a music shop near my house. I love taking these side shot wheel pics there
As good as these satin graphite 6gr-SEVENS look on this oxford white I am ready for a change. New car needs new shoes. My FIVES should be coming soon and I'm super excited! :clap2:

Call it what you will, it's no sweat off my sack. I've been around this car since it was just wheels, intake and tune. Helped with some of the installs, including the blower. Been there for cruises, meets, ups and downs, started a nationwide Mustang club with Nick, the previous owner. Did I buy the car? You bet your ass I did. Would I do it again? Absolutely :lol:

Comment like that....totally uncalled for. Jealous much?
It's a badass car. Just because he didn't do the whole build himself doesn't make it..... what you said. Who in the hell even says that anymore?
Killer car Bryn.

I think its fantastic that this car was sold in its complete state, rather than being parted out and returned to stock.
I know that car put down some serious power at the last Whipple owners dyno day, and I am sure its an animal on the road!
Great to see the car is now in the hands of someone who is also active on the 6G forum...looking forward to seeing updates as you add your own touches to the build!
The 6GR's look sooo good dropped on bags!
