Here’s mine

[MENTION=10454]Stam616[/MENTION] looking good my friend. What are you planning next?

These pictures are about a year apart. Stance will be changing a bit soon as I swap the Sportlines out for a different set of springs.

[MENTION=28654]Nagare[/MENTION] big difference how the little details make. I love the new style. Keep it coming!

Appreciate it, I ended up taking off the quarter window louvers due to the blindspot it creates on a turn I make on the way to work now but loved the way they looked. Once I finishing putting on my CS stripes I think I'm done with changing it up though, miiightttt do tinted sidemarker lights all around but still debating that one.

edit » forgot I have the 50th anniversary grille to put on at some point too, I really like the way it looks on some cars but I might want to put some black on it instead.

Post new pics once its all set and done. Really interested in seeing it.

Tinting the lights, I would only do the rear and side markers, but on the front, DON'T! I removed mines because the brightness/illumination got reduced greatly (30-50%) and it started making my illumination slightly yellow instead nice bright white.

Nagare, aren't those wheels original Ford 19'' dark stainless just repainted black? They look great

You got it right! I've had a couple people ask if they were Vossens which they sadly are not but for me they work and are a ton better than the stock 17s! Right now it is just black plasti-dip as well. I wanted to make sure I liked the wheels first (got them for a killer deal), but I think I'll get them powdercoated at some point this year.

Thanks! I’m making a P-51 tribute car so I’m going to replace the decklid and put some kind of custom emblem. I’m also going to put in a leather interior, Black with Red stitching. I’d like to get a GT350 style leather steering wheel. New speakers, perhaps upgrade to the larger touch screen. Moving up to 19” rims as well. Then I’ll get a CAI, headers and exhaust system. Eventually I may upgrade to the 2018 taillights and a GT/CS front grill upper and lower. I may put some kind of nose art on the sides of the car where you’d see the 5.0 badges on a GT. It’d be small, I don’t like big showy stuff.

I’ve still got a long way to go, but I’m keeping this car a very long time so I don’t really need to rush it.

The day it was delivered to me at the house.....



And today. Mods are in sig, except some of the under hood dress up parts.

In the beginning and now - P-51 Mustang

Great Thread Idea!! Here ya go.

On ebay you can get your same wheel done in black chrome for about $700 with an exchange. I was considering that since I have the same wheels. I like the PP2 wheels that are not out yet. I'd like to get a set of those, haven't decided yet.
