Guys, Just got my chin spoiler and mirrors painted to match the car... Here are just a few quick pictures... Dave
dude that looks awesome. I hate the stock mirriors, theyre way to big and look crummy when they arent painted.
Looks really sweet man.. Its amazing how the chin spoiler changes the overall look of the car.. Its the same with the ducktail spoiler.. These should be mandatory additions to all Mustangs.. Also, the painted mirrors is something Ford should do at the factory.. You have done well! Now go get some good kills!
Very cool! Thanks for posting your pics. BTW, your color was my first choice but my wife liked the redfire instead. I wasn't going to argue because I needed her support to spend 29K+. The chin spoiler is really a nice touch.
LOL!! Your wife is brutal man!! Sorry you have to go through that.. For this reason, this is why a go to the dealership by myself.. LOL!! "Where are you going honey?".....I'll be back later!!
Looks sleek! How much for the mirrors may I ask? I'm interested in doing the same! Once again, looks great!
The entire painting and installation of the CDC "Classic" chin spoiler and mirrors was $300.00... They removed the mirrors prior to painting... Dave
Extra cool! That looks wonderful! I've been seriously considering just those two things for the LBS. I'd like the gloss black mirrors and a nice (but not huge) chin spoiler. There's a beefed-up stang in this month's Car and Driver (The "Interceptor") that has a few of those traits. I'm really a stock-appearance kind of person, but those two simple changes really change the stance of the Stang. Maybe (I've thought) having the rear end raised a bit - or more importantly, the front lowered a bit... All the nice Stangs of my teen years had huge tires and wheels on the rear and a lowered front end (I know it's not the way things are now, it's just the way I enjoyed them when I was a kid...)
Thats because your a nice Guy Bigcat!! But business is business.. I would have charged him $400 here in Cali!.. He got lucky, I may have charged him $650, just because he owns a GT.. LOL!! Its called the GT Tax.. Owners of GT's are taxed using the (G)auranteed (T)ax Program.. This tax states that if your badass enough to own a GT, then your badd enough to pay an extra few hundred bucks, or get outta my shop!! LOL!!
yeah, but you dont get repeat customers and referals from people you price gouge. i do it fairly cheap, but many people still dont think its cheap enough. i even tell them to go to a body shop and get a quote i am usually at least 50% less, and they still dont want to do it.
I'm just joking BigCat!! Sure wish you were located closer to me.. I could use a good body and paint guy, who has reasonable prices.. Are there alot of 05 Stangs where your located?
they are out there somewhere, but i dont see very many of them, maybe one a week. my dealer was the #1 mustang dealer in the nation for a while earlier this year, then they we out of stangs for a long time.....other dealers marked them up so much that no one wanted to buy them. they are out there, but i dont see them in my daily activities. mostly because i work in a low income part of the city. if i worked out west, then i am sure i would see more.
i forgot to add, my boss is giving me the crap jobs to "soften me up". he says to the other guys that i am doing too good of a job. i never knew you would hire an ase master certified technician and not want them to do a good job!?!?! thats why i want to do more work on the side---i can do a job to my standards, which are evidently higher than my current work place!!!
