So I purchased a 2015 GT Black on Black 300A, 6R80 w/ Security Package on January 23, 2015. I traded in my 2011 GT for it and this is my 7th Mustang and I have never done a build thread before. It was not initially intended to be a supercharged build, just a catalog of my car and how I plan to mod it. I hope whoever comes across this post enjoys the pics I post and hopefully will get ideas from me and me from them. Thanks for stopping by. Now on to the good part.

Here are a few more pics. I put the tail light tints on myself and took a pic with just the left side done and the whole thing done and then with the reverse light done.

Very Nice! The photos showing the tint on each of the tail lights and then the reverse light are making me consider doing the same. The progression looks great!

Thanks! I should mention that those are the charcoal tints from Big Worm and I should also mention that they are worth what you pay for them. I bought tail light tint from another company previously and the tint was flimsy, scratched easy and did not fit properly. These are very well made and are just about a perfect fit. I need some photos with my Nikon instead of cell phone pics too.

Installed MRT Hood Struts today. Was disappointed my LED Switchbacks and LED reverse light did not make it here today. Roush Axelback should be arriving tonight, but I am working Mardi Gras so I won't get that installed until most likely Tuesday when there are no parades. Will post sound clips and pics when I do.

Looks good how do you like the MRT struts does the MRT logo come off if you wanted to take it off?

I like them cause I didn't have to drill holes. I am not sure about the logo coming off. I haven't really tried to peel sit off. I think it might though.

Installed Diode Dynamics reverse light and LED Switchbacks. No pics of the reverse light just the switchbacks. Simple install. Just make sure they fit in and are turned the proper way. Blinker noise in the cabin makes a very cool pony trotting type noise. Makes the car look very clean.

The Diodes look good too!
Does the closed hood still lay even with the fenders with the MRTs installed?

Not completely flat. Bout a quarter of an inch gap. Very subtle.

Just installed my Roush Axelback. It's great to finally be able to hear my exhaust! I love the sound but I need more so I just purchased the Lethal H resonator delete. I will try and get a video up later tonight.

Looks awesome! Great pictures!

It is kinda funny how the blinkers make a "trotting" sound inside the cabin. It makes sense on a Mustang lol

Nick C.
Thanks Nick! I just bought some Map lights from you guys too. The Switchbacks are my favorite mod so far and I absolutely LOVE the trotting sound! It's very unique and fitting for the Stang. Everyone who has gotten into my car so far has given nothing but compliments on the sound.
