Ok, so most of you saw my recent stripe addition to my car and I appreciate everyone’s positive and constructive feedback. If I ever get that California dream hood, I will probably have these stripes painted on since I like them so much. A lot of you requested more pics, preferably in day light and I said I would post them, but first I decided to dress up the car a little bit more. I have now added the following: • 4.0 Trunk Emblem • (2) Running Pony Fender Emblems (taken from a 66 stang resto site) • UPR AC and Door Lock Knobs And finally, the best part: • Legend Shelby Style Wing I actually just went to the Washington DC car show and saw the Shelby and when I bought the wing, I didn’t realize it would be the same as the Shelby, but sure enough it was. But I like it and love the look it gives the car. I also saw the Challenger concept car and I must say, wow. Absolutely gorgeous car! I have pics of that one too, but that will be another thread. You can find more pics of these at my web site, http://www.rygen.net/stang Well, here are the pics, let me know what you think!
Theres a long story there. They end under the spoiler. Lets just say the wife dosent like the stripes going all the way down the bumpers and she has let me go nuts with the mod budget. So who am I to complain.
i must say u have one BAD ASS mustang. love the stripes and LOOOVVEEE the wing and wheels. what wheel/tire combo are u running.
Tire's is up to you, personally I think the new stangs look best with 17 or 18 inch tires. But tires/rims are like exhaust, go with what you like best. Though I am not a fan of 20's, I have seen some that really look nice on the car. I went through a couple different emblems before I settled on these. They are 66 resto grade emblems, made of metal, look authentic. I like them a lot and they are heavy duty.
I like that 4.0!!! And I can't wait to see the car in person tomorrow. I am jealous of that ducktail, man, but since we share the same geographic area, I am SOL!!! I can't wait until we can put 4.0T on the back....
Thanks man, actually the 0 int he 4.0 is 1mm too high. LOL. I just measured it, so I am gonna heat it up and bring it down a tad.
Ok, project finished. I like the placment, so they will stay there. However, I was exactly 1mm off on the 0 in 4.0. So, 90 seconds with the wifes hair dryer and bingo, problem solved. Car is not as shiny and clean in this pic, but you should get the idea: Later.
I got it here: http://www.gefracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=G&Category_Code=LEGEND One of the GT guys at TMS told me not to have GEF paint it, that the finish would not be perfect. Took my body shop three times to get it right, but they did and I'm happy with it.
