    Ok, I have added ¼ window louvers and a chin spoiler to the car and would like an opinion. I currently have a CDC smooth hood scoop, and a rear wing ready to go on, but not painted, links to those added below, but I don’t want to go over board with the body pieces. Actually I like the way the car looks now and I'm leaning on not installing the other two pieces, what do you think...

    Tks

    Spoiler is very nice, but considering the price, have you thought about a GT500 spoiler? They are simply beautiful! :nice:




    Nice car! Although, not to be harsh, but lose the yellow fogs.. They really detract from the rest of the car.

    Me, I'm a minimalist. I'd lose the yellow foglights as well and then not add another thing. Then again, I drove 500 miles to get a new 2008 w/ absolutely *no* options and *no* spoiler. If it doesn't make it faster or more fun to drive, I'm not spending $$ on it. But I'm kinda the exception I think, you gotta do what you like and to hell w/ everyone else. Heck, my daily driver for 11 years was a 1994 Escort w/ no AC and no radio; only reason my current daily driver has a/c and radio is because I couldn't find one without 'em

    BudgetPlan = cheapass

    I am a fan of the clean look as well, I don't really mind the ducktail style spoilers but really don't like the stock gt wing. I ordered my car with the spoiler delete option and haven't added one on. Of the hood scoops I've seen, the one you showed is one of the better ones but I have never liked non-functional hood scoops. They remind me of all the meatheads with Dodge Rams and high school kids with civics that have hood scoops that they glued on. In the end, it is what you like because you have to/ get to look at it every day.

    I love the stock wings on our cars, and I dont like non-functional hood scoops..I would leave it with what you have if it was me, but its not me, so do what you think you will like, cuz it doesnt matter what I think ultimately:D

    Your car is hot the way it is! That being said, I think the gt hood w/o any scoop is just a bit too plain. I say yes on the scoop, no on the spoiler. Good luck!

    I am in the same position trying to decide what to do with my 06 tungsten GT. I like the roush stuff but I just can not put a scoop on the hood if it is just sitting there. If the scoop did anything I could see it but otherwise I say leave it.

    Right now I am looking at doing the Shelby spoiler as that thing is really beautiful. Also looking at Cervini's front fascia and side exhaust kits. I will probably do the 1/4 window covers but not the side scoops.

    Past that I would rather put $ into the performance.

    Transformers and Punisher on the same car?! I think they are silly as it is, let a lone both of them. I think it's time to trade in the He-Man Bed Sheets too!

    I'd lose the yellow fog lenses. Unless there's actually a use for them.

    The rest of the car looks good I I like all the black out stuff and the black wheels.

    I like spoilers, always have. Mine is factory and I love it.
    I didn't think I wanted a hood scoop but mine came with the GT appearance package. I get compliments all the time on the hood scoop. I have come to love it too.
    I was going to do stripes but have decided against them. I like more of a stealth look than the attention they would draw.

    Hmm I do not like non functional hoodscoops, so thats why I did a shaker hood.

    I like duck tails on the new mustangs. I hate the wing it comes with, I would rather have no wing at all than those. I have a duck tail on mines.

    The front of the car always need to be done. Front splitter or full down is always good.

    Tasteful body parts makes the car yours. My 08 looks like no other mustang in my area, and I get compliments everywhere I go. Make it yours, (luv the yellow fogs) add delete, and keep it tasteful.
