That's cool different flavors for different people...his was on an Airlift 3H System©, was only ever that low for pictures.
Couldn’t agree more bro. Came over to the 5.0 from a ‘23 Charger RT Blacktop, it was a sick car, but I rubbed and scraped that chin everywhere and inside of two weeks it was ate up. One thing I love about the Mustang is stock it sits higher and my chin is clean no matter where I park. The 1-1/2” drop isn’t worth it to me. We are on the same page
I appreciate the response brother. I do value uniqueness but I could not deal with the orange. Just didn’t fit the car. I pulled it off and really like it just black. I have an appointment to add matte red next week and figure if I don’t like it after the red, I’ll pull it and know that I like the black.To be honest, anyone you could ask would tell you it looks good car person or not...overall I feel like you're might be beating yourself over it because it's not the "norm" or its not an "OEM" color but if anything uniqueness is rarely seen nowadays in the car community... now if you're one of those guys that wants an OEM look and try to to make this look like a Ford vehicle off the lot then go ahead and change them to red, but personally if you're about making your ride yours and customizing then here's some advice to make you the love the orange...
Paint Matching - I feel like for you to fall in love with the orange, you're gonna need more orange...now would be a good time to paint the calipers...orange badges as well (Orange 5.0 Badges), blank decklid too and a orange coyote howler badge (easy mod you can do that won't break the bank...$50 Ebay decklid, $30-$50 badge.
Euro Talights - Personally I feel like this would tie the car up nice, nothing much needs to be said but it's kind of obvious that the red taillights just clash with the orange, a nice pair of euro tailights preferably smoked/tinted would look killer on this car.
Interior - To each their own, some might find this tacky some don't but this kind of ties in with the first point, but match the interior with the exterior, maybe a carbon fiber steering wheel with orange flakes? A little orange air freshener to set the tone?
Anyways I'll leave pictures of said things, maybe they'll pick at your curiosity. (P.S the car pics are from a mutual buddy of mine in Cali and his Gen 2 a couple years ago...Orange calipers and Gen 3 Smoked Euros, same color combo just missing the stripes
I actually hate lowered cars. Used to get tickets all the time. When I was 18 I went to an auto wrecker and got springs off a Cadillac. Thought I was going good. Put them in my Impala, and the stupid things barely lifted the backend. Was so bad I couldn't get gas at most stations. Car would get stuck on the sidewalk ramp into the station. I like suspension high.
Looks great to me.Went orange to be a little different than the standard red, but now regretting it a bit and thinking I should have gone red or just full black. Thoughts?
Love these stripes with the orange. Could you please tell me where you got this done? I’m wanting this on my stang and orange is my favorite colorWent orange to be a little different than the standard red, but now regretting it a bit and thinking I should have gone red or just full black. Thoughts?
I like it. Different and looks great.
Personally, I’m not a fan of the orange and would have went red or gloss black. However, for some reason I prefer brunettes over blondes in almost every situation. This is another personal preference thing. Whoever did the stripe work looks like they were spot on with the application though and it looks 1,000% better than no stripe. Stripes also add another 10-15HP, so there is that.Went orange to be a little different than the standard red, but now regretting it a bit and thinking I should have gone red or just full black.

LOL, thanks bro. I too prefer brunettes over blondes and happened to marry a girl who looks like Marissa Tomei!!!! I ended up pulling off the orange and just have the black and it looks great, I'm thinking of adding the red back at a later date.
I'm in Houston, Texas area.
I put an additional orange pinstripe alongside the factory stripes as orange (tangerine) is my fave colour and my football (soccer for you guys in the states) team plays in Tangering and white. All dials are orange, as is ambient lighting the dot in the 5.0 badges and the brembo stickers. Also got car mats with orange trim so a massive fan of orange here too.
One other option is white pin stripes. I've seen the look on gray cars and liked it. I have found I only like the bright colored pins (orange, red, yellow, grabber blue, etc.) on black cars.
I agree, you've got a nice looking ride in your avatar. I've been looking at the yellow pin stripes with the matte black bigger stripes on a grey metallic like mine and strangely it looks good to me.
Thanks. Sometimes a combo looks a lot better than expected once you see it.
