No you got it all wrong.

Just pick from the same 5 sets of wheels every mustang guy chooses. Buy a MMD V spoiler, get the APR splitter with support rods and howler badge.
Ive checked all those boxes!!! Are you stalking me? I feel very special to have my very own follower! Lol

Your car is the definition of elegant but I have to ask...why haven’t you swapped out the prop rod for gas struts?

And it can be aggressive, just depends on what angle you look at

To me, what makes a sports car more aggressive than another are things like large front splitters and dive planes (think ZL1 1LE), aftermarket grilles, hood scoops, large-ish rear wings, and a substantial drop with very wide and low profile wheels and tires. Elegant is a less is more, like others have stated. A minor drop and wide but not crazy wide wheels with a nice look, less open space on the wheel (i.e., more spokes), a tint job, and maybe some nice side lower stripes or something. I don't think a bunch of exterior lighting is elegant, but that's just my opinion.

Did you get that raccoon off your front porch this morning? I was worried that after I stepped on it, he would attack you this morning.

PS - Your smoke detector needs new batteries in the guest room.

The most elegant look is a badgeless fender imo. I know it symbolizes a ecoboost, but if I had a 5.0 I’d still want hood vent deleted and badge deletes on fenders if it didn’t have those holes.

This pic is old, I lowered my car an 1.125 inch front and 1.00 inch rear, and I have 20mm spacers coming to be almost flush.

I will be really happy how it turned out I think.

Donald your car looks amazing but to me black wheels say aggressive. Look at your pic. Cannot see any detail at all. Now put some 5 spoke bronze wheels on there. Now your talking elegant. Just MHO :like::)

I don’t think bronze would compliment my chrome windows trim. See that is my gripe w my car. I personally would have some beautiful chrome wheels or silver wheels if I had black window trim, but window + wheels both being silver I didn’t like.

bronze w black window trim would be clean.

i went 55% window tint due to chrome. Didn’t want black windows w chrome accenting it myself. So went smoked. Once I pay off some bills I think I will change tint to 45 though. Regret going so light lol

Nah! Leave the bioch looking stockish, put the money into power, performance, and handling, then listen for the jaws to drop when you hand the cosmetically enhanced car it’s ass!

I wouldn't call mine "elegant" but I get lots of strangers telling me it's beautiful.

I think it looks more aggressive from this angle:

I've said it before, I'll say it again. This is one of the better looking S550's that I have seen.

Then again, blue is my favorite color...but still....nice job. :rockon:

Agreed I love his car. I’ve seen his shared before on fb somewhere or it may of been him posting it

it’s really customized. I was army 4 years, but worked for department of Air Force as cop for 3-4 years so I really like the Air Force badge. Props

Thanks, guys. I've been working on it for 3 years now and it took a while for it to all come together, but IMO the time, effort, and $ were worth it. And it's almost finished now.


(Yeah, right!) :crackup:
