As for the square setup, I purposely wanted staggered... So I could beef up the rear accordingly. Also, fronts are 255 nt555r's... And rears are 305 nt555 dr drag radials.
That makes sense. I'm only nit picking...that thing looks freakn' dangerous.

I like the new wheels. The back sticks out a little too much for me, but overall I like it .

Edit - you have any pics looking from the front back toward the rear tire? Maybe the one pic just makes them look like they stick out

thanks a lot guys… appreciated.

Gave her her first wash of the calendar year, literally. That felt good to detail again. No wax/sealant yet. I'll do that this week. 55 degrees today, felt nice.

Pics I took at the onset of dusk… as dusk grew more, Marilyn got more sinister looking. Loved it Hopefully this weekend, once the roads clear, I'll be able to actually drive her. Those VLED amber tritons are nice and bright too.

Thanks a lot folks! Now if only I can drive her. The weather should be warming up this weekend, so hopefully the roads are clear by then.

Next thing I'm debating is changing out the 5.0 emblems to matte black to go with the new wheels... not sure.... thoughts?

Beastly Mustang!!

Perhaps add 10mm spacers to the front wheels to get them to match the rears a bit more?

Just plastidip them...I know it sounds ghetto, but once it dries, you won't be able to tell. And, in 2 months, when you get bored...you'll be able to peel that baby off

I retract my previous statement, wheels looks incredible now that I see from the front back (no tire sticking out in the rear).

Love it!

Thanks man… yeah, I'm not a spacer fan. I love the staggered set up as in. The "skinny" (although not really, they're 255's) fronts evoke old school muscle

Thanks so much guys. You KNOW I will be taking more pics as soon as the weather cooperates and warms up a bit. I hope to drive her this weekend as it is in the upper 40's. Woohoo!

I'm really looking forward to the 2015 myself. The rear is a little off but the front is way sexy.

fk...again, just confirmed I'll need this car in my future at some point. My goodness...sounds so aggressive.

I'm in the minority in saying that the 2015 and the natural progression of the looks are nice to me...it looks decent in the stock form they keep showing, now picture some big meaty wheels on it and a proper stance and I bet most people will end up loving it.

That exhaust looks awesome! Will have to listen to the clips later.

You aren't a fan of the 2015? I quite like it myself. The itch for a Mustang is strong.

Thanks so much guys! Yeah, I remember first hearing that mustang v8 sound one day a few years ago... It was a simple mustang with an exhaust. I fell in love ever since. My tsx I love for daily serenity and comfort, but for my nasty fun side, I need my 5.0

But yeah I love those corsas! They really come alive when you jab the throttle! I hope to drive her this weekend.

As for the 2015, no thanks. Design looks like a generic coupe currently on sale, with a fusion front end. Is it fast and more technologically advanced than a stock 5.0 of my model year? Sure... But I don't care. Give me old school muscle any day.

Ok pic time… been a while. I finally got a chance to showcase my Milans and my Corsas. New toys I picked up over the course of the winter hibernation. Pics taken with Nikon D60, and combo 50mm lens and 85mm lens.





























Some vids of Corsa in-car…
