Mounted forgeline GS1R wheels, 19x10.5 with 305 Michelin 4S on all corners. 49lb with tire mounted, almost GT350R carbon wheel weight.

ARP extended wheel studs, Gorilla open lug nuts.

Gyeon ceramic coated the wheels before mounting.

The old girl feels light on her feet now, very responsive with her new feather light shoes.

Looks awesome! My 19-10 p51 rims with 285-35-19 mpss weighed 46.9, 19 x 11 with 305 weighed 50.2.

Installed my $35 lighted sill plates that I got on ebay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-2016-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Plates still had plastic over the chrome lighted portion. No wire harness included but for $35 I cut original off and used my own wire.

I want to thank the OP of this install guide for the picture that helped with the install. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/th...s-lighted-sill-plates-update-installed.20612/

Edit: Nevermind I found your build thread. Nice.

Do you have pics of your battery terminals? I want to see how you are wiring up all those power leads.

Full range class d under the seat and crossovers. The driver's side has a ton of room where the amp would be on the premium trim. Passenger side has little to no room so I mounted it to carpet high in center.

Yes I do. I custom made them out of copper bar as there was simply nothing on the market that would work. Since no batteries in our size have a flat top, none of the premade terminals will work

Heres a few, lots more pics of the wiring and stuff in my sound system build thread if youre interested.

I was just looking at it. Pretty extreme. I spent forever debating where to put the fuseholder on my little 200w install. lol. I ended up fabricating a bracket out of ABS and mounting it against the existing cable support under the strut brace. About where your rear most on the passenger side is. I didn't really like the looks of our terminals either so I am leaning towards supplying the amp from the middle pos connection on the fuse box. It runs directly into the battery looks like and I've read where guys have put 500 watt systems on it. Its a more secure connection than what I think I can get from the factory terminal at the battery. I just wish I could find what other accessories are driven from that cable lead.

Well. With a little influence from a few guys on here, I finally decided to pull the stock front license plate bracket. The bumper is getting patched and painted either Friday or Monday. Still working on that schedule. After I installed the Sto and Show plate mount, I decided to improve the front look and flow by ordering a new upper and lower grill replacement and the new Ford Performance back lit Mustang emblem. I cant wait till everything is back together. I will post pictures!

The Grill is the following....I added a stock internet photo to show. Mine doesn't show up till Friday. The Horse Emblem showed up today and I plugged it in for a little test.
Cervini Upper and Lower Grille C-Series Textured Matte Black

Update on the Grill. Everything has been installed and I'm crazy happy about it. It started to rain as I was finishing up (which took most of my light as well) so I didn't realize that they emblem power cable was so visible. I will deal with that next weekend. Tomorrow, I'm getting my paint guy (Barney: Yes I have a paint guy) to patch up the holes. I'm also going to drop the invoice for the patch work off at the dealership I bought the car from. Which I'm betting they will trash but I'd like them to know how unhappy I was about the holes. Here are a few pictures. Loving how much the inter-cooler shows now. It was like Superman having his big S covered up whilst saving people! What a waste! Oh and the light up emblem at night is absolutely the best visual mod I've done.
