the R-model apron not belonging on a street car, all I can say is, yeah, right. We all know how much protection those burly Mustang bumpers offer, so why even mention it being a "race-only" item?
Zoo, Some State DMV laws are that a Bumper is required equipment.
I guess it's just my belief (somewhere between SD and Hop) that mods to a 'Stang ought to serve some useful purpose. 4-wheel disks, better seats, better tires, and better lights (Edbert) make a safer and better handling machine. Sound system upgrades, an EFI 393W, Tremec-3550, etc.... (my little pipe-dream) just make it's use more fun , which is why we want to drive cars older than approximately 1/2 the members of this board.
