    BTW, kooldawg, nice use of google, I actually couldn't find the pics. My hard drive had to be reformatted last week due to itunes crashing (need my ipod for the gym, so I had to reformat) and my pics went MIA however they were uploaded to image shack.. Just couldn't find the links but I knew where they were posted but couldn't find the thread, but they are found. So here they are!

    If I could do it all over again, I would 10000000000% gone with the spoiler delete, but the car was already built, so I had no choice. I also don't know about the red floor mats, some days I like them, others I don't, most times I don't care, however when I bought the car I hated the interior, but it quickly grew on me and I get more comments about that than anything else, I'm so happy I got it. Most new stangs have the same bland interior. I do like that tan one though.

    I have 20% tint all the way around now, these pics were when I bought it.

    Future mods:

    1.Green stripes all over the place
    2. huge fog light bezels
    3. of course, cobra badges, lots of them!
    4. huge mustang emblems for the dash
    5. gauges that tell me nothing mounted all over the place
    6. chrome gas door, so I can find the gas door!
    7. huge 2 foot wing or that duck tail pos
    8. coral emblem for the front, in chrome for that V6 look!
    9. Shelby body kit for 8 grand!
    10. extra thick black plastic all over the place. probably double side taped on or hot glued
    11. cant forget the double side taped plastic louvers.
    12. Carol, Parnelli and Steve can all sign the dash as well, though might run out of space with all the emblems
    13. The entire glove box is a plaque, that states I ruined my car.
    14. tons of mods to my engine bay where no one will see them
    15. of course an after market ghetto blasting system like we all had back in high school! BASS WARS YO!

    The other real mods
    I would love to dump the spoiler and put on the CS rear valance. Though the shelbys have monster pipes sticking out that look terrible, I'd reuse the stock pipes. (or maybe shelby's is stock? can't tell)
    I would also like to remove the GT emblem, I love the clean look!!!
    One day I'll decide on floor mats, but for now the stock ones work.

    I dug up your pics that were in one of your first posts on here... no Google-ing was used:D
    If you do remove your GT emblems, this is what is left behind...

    You could swap fenders with a base model V6 in Redfire...they have no emblems(no holes).

    I do believe the Shelbys have FRRP GTA mufflers, not the stock GT mufflers.

    That's how I felt when I bought it, but since I got a grew deal on it with 0% I said I'll learn to love it. However after about one month of owning it, I feel in love with it. Can't image owning another interior color.

    My brother is jcar302, you'll see him around various stang boards and the saleen explorer forums.

    As for the holes, I know they are there, I'd have them filled in, I rather spend the money on the holes being filled in than a new fender. Few can get fenders to line up right again.

    Anyone have a plain CS spoiler delete car on here? with pics????? I don't like those shelby missile silos they use.

    That's actually about the best I've seen Redfire look (in that first pic). I'm not a huge fan of the colour myself but the combo with the interior looks pretty slick. I agree on the floormats though, I'm not overly enamoured with the red ones. I'd probably go black and be done with it.

    I love the car. I would get rid of the red floor mats. Just a bit too much red. Otherwise, beautiful car.

    You couldn't order the CS with spoiler delete, or mine would have a smooth decklid to match the fenders and hood, although you may still have some luck because there are a few guys that have swapped to wingless decklids after the fact.

    I would just have them unbolt it and fill it in. When the editor of Motor Trend years ago bought his mustang gt, he mentioned how he wanted the spoiler delete and when he published a pic of his car I knew I wanted mine that way.

    Decent, clean Stang V. I am surprised you would not want the "boom-box bass-Yo" for your Techno beats and all. :shrug:

    I thought you were an expert at building Shelby GT's for $2700??:shrug:

    Oh well, at least we know you're not a troll.. :nice:


    The mufflers include the tips. They are part of the FRPP power packs.. I'm not sure which one, check your Summit catalog..
