Pics of my Mustang

I haven't posted any pictures of my 05' Mustang GT, so here they are. Not the best light, but I washed the car and took some pics:

Not a fan of the two big lamps but otherwise everything else is nicely done!

What are the engine mods?

I might delete the fogs in the future, but they come on the car stock. The grill is a street scene grill that mimicks the late 60's Shelby's.

The engine mods are C&L intake, Diablosport tuner, Off-road x pipe, and Magnaflow mufflers. The car ran 12.9 last fall. I've been focusing on making the car handle well as of late. Next round of mods are focusing on the brakes.

Nice! Looks pretty mean. Also agree with Jesal on the fog lights.

I like the lights up front and disagree w/Jesal and synth19.
The stock GTs had them closer to the fenders & main lights here in California when I test drove the '05 before getting the TL (yeah, 2 different types of car, but I have a soft spot for '67-'70 and post-'82 V8 Mustangs).

It looks great. The center lamps look awsome, gives it a mean stance. Are those Roush wheels?

Very nicely done!

I think Ford struck gold on this thing, and it has the potential to be a classic car should classic cars ever exist again.

Your's looks beautiful.

I also think it looks good. I'm not sure about the fogs either, but at least you can tell it's a GT since it has them. Anyway, keep up the Great work!! I'm looking forward to seeing most pics in the future!

I think the car will look more agressive without the fog. And bigger (and dished) wheels.

I get a tad over 18 mpg. The car is a 5 speed manual. If I baby it, the car is capable of 20+ average MPG in combined city/highway. I didn't buy the car for fuel economy

The wheels are made by Roush and they are 18X10's. I've got 275/40/18 RE050A Pole Positions all around. I tried to get wheels that weren't common on a Mustang. Cobra R's, Bullits, FR500's are a dime a dozen. You can get knock-offs on E-bay dirt cheap.

The rear wing is also made by Roush.

Nice ride, looks great and I'm sure its a blast to drive.

I'd throw some bigger and darker wheels on it, but thats just me.
