Can't say I'm not surprised by your choice of mods and the way they always seem to clean everything up. Looking good Josh!

Thank Fellas, I am really loving and enjoying the car and its progress. A real Head Turner and compliments where ever I go. Even MORE now after this weekend. It was crazy how the amount of feedback overall from the upgrades, changes or mods I have done and how they all pulled together as planed up to the last ones this weekend. Enjoy

I know it looks good...IMO of course and my liking since I am the one picking all the fixings...But I am just quoting the response I get locally also. Like the TL, it was a head turner. But the Mustang is more of a mixed crowd while the TL was only coming from the younger Generations.

Under my belt: 3 Camaros including 1 this weekend FULL BOLT-ON Build with 100 shot Nitrous + 2 Mustang GT's and 1 Corvette... 5W's - 0L's lol!

That's not a shock though...stock for stock you'd have lit them up, and with a tune and full bolts ons now and good rubber, duh...you're gonna win.

and I disagree about the demographic. I get love for my car from all age groups. Maybe just your experience from where you live, maybe you got more of the 50 something MURIKKAAAA group. LOL. Whenever I get one of those, I'm like, well, don't worry, the car was built in Ohio

Yeah, maybe...There is A LOT of jits and Honda/Acura fan boys in this part of town and surrounding area. But they is definitely a flip flop in generations. Less jits and more 25+ for the 5.0 The Acura had so damn many 25- flocking and breaking necks. But all is well, they are obviously cut from a different fabric and apples and oranges to style.

I have no idea what you just said.
but I agree. Double

Yeah, well, real car enthusiasts will appreciate a car for it's beauty and shape, not where it was made. I will admit, I'd love some real power under the hood, although I do just fine with my 2 cars.

That's my feelings. I have some friend who are HATERS! and won't even comment or look at my car because they hate Mustangs as a whole. But, I support and back up their cars even help em with wrenching on em just because it doesn't matter what breed it is to me. Damn VW fan boys for ye I guess But yet, they won't run me, Just their mouths...lol! Its all fun though

I know its been a while since you put on the stripes but its awesome to see how in some pictures you can't even tell that you have them. I imagine its a really cool effect as you walk up to the care in person!!

That is exactly the effect you get in person, especially at night more so. A guy commented that same feedback when I met up with the GRAB-A-LANE forum guys Saturday night. At night it almost looks like a grey black pearl ghost look and during the day it blends in from the gloss being so shiny until that certain angle is hit then you see the flat. I am definitely pleased how that came out. Like rockstar143 said, its very subtle design in graphics. Thanks!

Killer, man...
seriously, I do the same. No matter the car, even if I'm not a huge fan of them, I give people their props if they're clean.

I know a LOT of people that hate on mustangs just because but c'mon, hard to argue with that kinda power being turn key and a very nice looking car.

How did I know someone was gonna say that... That is what they are called from Factory since they are the wheels provided when opt for the Brembo brake pkg. Therefore, they are called Brembo wheels since they come together. If that makes sense.

In the mail from LATE MODEL RESTORATION (LMR) My next mod: 2011-2012 SALEEN S281 Grille. Swapping out the stock grill for the S281 version for more air flow and eliminating the grille fog lights that block that air flow needed to the engine bay.

Top shows installed on a original Saleen and proper badging while the lower pic (white) shows swapped on a GT with a badge that can be purchased on eBay to fill the empty badge plate that reads "5.0L Coyote V8"

That's gonna look really good.

Actually, I was going to call you a moron for calling them brembo wheels. Then I looked it up and saw that's what it was called So they don't actually manufacture them is what you're saying? people just call them that because they're the wheels with the package?

I am so glad u looked it up for yourself... Bingo brotha! I don't believe they are manufactured or badge "BREMBO" per say. They are part of manufacture pkg and called BREMBO WHEELS when speaking of the wheels by anyone who knows what they are talking about.

I am glad today I saved myself from the cyber-bullying ceing called a moron. But I am sure you will have your way another day

Soon brother. Not my preferred choice but looks like this up and coming weekend I may hit LAKELAND which is a 1/8thy mile track but it is the soonest I can get to any track since Bradenton 1/4mi has too much going as event wise to get some TEST & TUNE. As for 11s, its literally a no brainer for the horrible 60ft time of avg 2.2-2.5sec showing extreme traction problems vs the new set up should shed easily 1sec+ which with throw the whip into 11.50 or better since E85 has been added to the equation. With my old best time with Perilli's and 97gas ~ 12.58 I am guesstimating 1130's-1140s


as for SALEEN grille, Here you go Steve! NOTE: bottom right hand corner originally houses the S281 SALEEN badge but since I do NOT have a Saleen I have a different badge that will take that lonely plain spot to best fit my GT. Coming in the mail today!

Car has come a long way in a short amount of time. Don't mod so quick that you get bored with it.
