It's time for stage two of the Mustang. I'm finishing up the exterior of the car. I've got the Roush front fascia kit sitting in my room which includes also includes some serious fog lights. I also got the Roush P51 chin spoiler and the P51 billet grille. I also went ahead and ordered the Roush rear spoiler. I never liked it but I saw one on a blacked out Mustang like mine and it looked gorgeous. I couldn't find anyone locally who could paint anything so I went ahead and got the stuff pre-painted from Roush. The quality on the paint is top notch !! I'm very happy with it.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the rear bumper. It's either going to be the Roush rear bumper and exhaust or a GT500 rear bumper. I'm also trying to find someone to trade me trunk lids since I've got the ugly Sirus antenna. I've got someone that wants my GT500 spoiler so I'm trying to get him to just swap lids as an even exchange. The guy might also want to buy my front bumper and chin spoiler so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I want to do a hood down the road but I can't decide on one. I'll probably get something like the Steeda Street Cowl, I believe it's a 2.5" cowl. The only other thing I need to order are the 3D Carbon side scoops.

I'm still not too sure where I'm going to go performance wise with the car. I'm running 302 rwhp and 318 rwtq which isn't bad with the money I've put into it. I'm only running a dyno tune, cold air intake, muffler delete, UDPs, and CMCVs. At this time, I'm pretty sure I'm going to just go with a loaded nitrous system. I'm talking full gauge set-up, remote bottle opener, purge kit, bottle warmer, plugs, etc. I want to eventually get another car for a daily driver and do a 5.4L motor swap in my car so putting a turbo or supercharger on it would be kind of pointless.

If anyone wants to know where to buy stuff from Roush, get it from Troy Ford Racing. They are a dealer out of Ohio and I highly recommend them. The front fascia kit was drop shipped from Roush but Roush made a mistake and sent it to the dealer instead of directly to me. I was thinking I wasn't going to get it for a while. Well, the dealer without even telling me, ended up sending it two day. Not to mention they already have free shipping for anything over $100 !! Great experience, I highly recommend them.


Here are the photos, let me know what you guys think about everything !! :D

Actualy thats looks like a STAGE 3 NOT a blackjack .. the black jack has the blacked out grill, the black rims and ONE single matt black strip over the middle of the car ! (of course I could be wrong)

Wow very hot.

Is that grill painted? I have a Tungsten and think the black may be too much but I like that grill look. I would like to find a grill similar the the Cervini's. I have been wanting to do the full Cervini kit but the Roush parts are also very nice. I just don't like the fake hood scoop!

Hot car.

Thump, you removed the GT500 wing and were able to install the roush with no issues?

Correct. The Sirius antenna had to be modified slightly to fit. The templates that Roush includes are great. I bought all of the stuff from Troy Ford Racing in Ohio. Call for better prices. Just ask for the parts department and whoever handles the Roush parts. It was much cheaper than anyone else.
 
It's easy. The templates Roush gives you are great. Just take your time installing the templates and everything should line up great. I had to fix the passenger side winglet but it wasn't hard. Also buy really good bits. I spent $50 on Bosch bits just to make sure.
 
I forget the exact total but it was about $1,500 including shipping and paint. Troy Ford Racing has the best prices on the pre painted stuff and they have great customer service. I'm not going to do the side skirts. I don't like them at all and the P51 doesn't even use them.
