My Competition Orange V8

Looks goooooood! ...... but as you say, the grill looks like it needs something now. Were you not tempted to gloss that also?

I was advised against doing the grill by the owner of the body shop. He is really good and comes well recommended so I was not going to go against it.

He explained that because of the shape it is hard to guarantee the paint would not flake off around the grill edges. .

YES good work Steve. I knew gloss black would look amazing!

Not sure I will have mine painted but they will be wrapped gloss black.

You had to come up with something!! lol.
I will have a look tomorrow. I dont think you can get it wrong as it comes with a template that you line up with the boot.

;)

I dunno, it's just all the ones I've seen tend to hang off the edge rather than where your one is. But if it comes with a template...

Is it not a Ford spoiler or am I thinking of someone else that's planning on fitting one?

I like it a lot!
I think you should consider:
- Black pony in front
- Black 5.0 badges
- Black flat rear GT batch or plain decklid

You going to lower and spacer wheels out a little, that would finish it and give such a mean/aggressive yet exotic look.

Thanks,

Black Pony? NO!
I get why, it makes complete sense and 100% with what I am doing(especially when you see my next two answers) but I just cant!

The chrome pony is an iconic part of a Mustang. It is Mustang. Do I like it? Not really. Do I love it? not much. Do I love the idea of it? Yes. Its like the silver lady on a rolls or the leaping cat on a jag. It has to stay.

I am considering changing the grill but if I do, I will be putting the Pony back on!

Black 5.0 badges? Yep

Rear Deck panel? Yep, not sure which one yet but I will be changing.

Yes, I want to widen and lower. Waiting to see what others do first though

Quick question on the rear decklid panel badging. I don't think its possible to get a panel with a black US-style GT emblem so the options are clean panel with a stick-on badge or plasti-dip a chrome GT. I have no experience with the product; how would someone go about plasti-dipping the GT black. Would it need to be removed from the panel? I imagine its plastic welded on.

looking good.

Never in the history of mankind have so many grown men taken such boyish delight modding brand new cars!

I've modded every car I've owned.
And this is the longest I've owned a car without tuning or chipping it

You would bring up chips wouldn't you, at least they're relevant for the oven :dnftt:

[MENTION=14613]SteveS[/MENTION] you can buy a plain rear decklid and a black badge for the back, the badge is adhesived on afaik.

Last time I really modded a car was my 1973 Vauxhall Chevette. I managed to take a 1800cc engine out a Vauxhall Magnum. High lift cams and a few other mods and I was soon pushing 100bhp!!
When the big ends went, I sold it for a Lotus Sunbeam and managed to put that through a hedge. The hedge didn't caused much damage but the kerb I hit en route ripped out the front suspension and shunted the engine and gbox back about a foot!
