yeah definatly the second car yellow...but why the first car setup? only difference i see is the top pic doesn't have the scallop pin stripe.

I think the bottom one is the way to go...i only posted the top so you could get an idea of the center stripe.


edit: oh I also see the top has the headlight buckets yellow not black...but i think the black buckets would be cool..and i still think the scallop stripe should be there too.

no new updates as far as working on the mustang but the other day I entered it into a car show for highschoolers and I won best wheels, best engine, best sound system, and favorite car! the only things I did not win was best paint and best interior. for best wheels I won a tire cleaning kit, for best engine I won interior wipes. and when they were judging best sound system all of the other guys turned up their stereo but since I have none i just turned the car on and revved REAL LOUD several times. and for that I won a car cleaning kit, and for favorite car I won a $100 dollar gift certificate to an auto detailing place, but I sold it to my dad for $60. WOOT!

If you go yellow, you have to two tone the interior yellow/black like s197 Roushes...they look sweet. I would support le mans stripes too.

1st kill! I was driving out of town sunday night and a '02 camaro ss, w/ big cowl induction hood an t-tops was pulling out about 10 carlengths behind me. the hole time that i had been driving the car a ton of people have challenged me to race and I had enough self controll to say no, but this time I found myself revving my engine. I know he heard me because his t-tops were down, he sped up and got in the next lane the roads were dead (podunk, montana sunday night) light turned green, I was way quicker off the line and was allready about a car length ahead by the time we hit 60 he definately hit his power band and I wouldn't say catching up with me but he was "losing slower" than at the beginning of the race. we raced untill about 100 ( my speedometer isn't hooked up right now ) but I slowed and he pulled next to me, and the look on his face was priceless he shrugged his shoulders and was in a look of bewilderment. he couldn't beleive that he had been beat by a p.o.s. looking mustang, and I couldn't believe it iether.
