Finally decided to poist some pics.

Post** some pics.

So here she is, i've been a forum member for a pretty long time but have just been too lazy to get her up here

2006 Windveil blue V6 auto








She's got a Cervinis B2 front chin spoiler, type IV functional ram air hood, Gt Grill, sideskirts, and rear bumper, Rear window louvers, 3d carbon side window louvers and rear blackout panel. 18"x8" Anarchite bullitt wheels in front with 18"x10" 3" Anarchite deep dish in the back. i really went for a "retro" sorta look with her. Yes, she is an automatic 6, and has no work done to the engine - but she's always a work in progress and sometime soon that's going to change because we plan on dropping in a bigger engine and maby a 6 speed.

i decided to work on the exterior first because i know i'm not really looking to get serious about racing until she's got more ponies under the hood. there isn't much more i want to cover on the outside, except maby replacing the stock rear spoiler for a cervinis ducktail/wing combo. That, and i'd like to add some retro looking stripes, but i haven't landed on what style yet, so i'll chop some into these pics soon.

tell me what you think!

thats MEAN! love the whole look. just one critique, ever think about lowering it? i got a set of steeda ultralites on mine and it almost completely eliminated the raked 4x4 look. and didnt compromise ride quality one bit.

Thanks bro! yeah i've really been putting alot of thought into lowering the car, i love the Mustangs "nose down - *** up" look, and i really tried to exaggerate that by adding the chin spoiler and painting it flat black, it gives it that 69'-73' chin look. i'd like to look into springs but i don't want to sacrifice that look by lowering the back TOO much, i was thinking about getting coilovers so i can adjust the look myself. the coilovers will also work pretty well because i don't want the nose dipped too much, because it's already just acouple inches worth of ground clearance as-is.

I won't suggest lowering since you're not keen on it, but have you thought about a bigger(taller) tire for the back to better fill the wheel well?

Aside from that, mean lookin' 'Stang you got there

Actually, yes, that was the first thing i was thinking about. it's a great idea but i'm gonna be honest- i wouldn't know the right type of tire- im a total n00b when it comes to tires. any suggestions?

that fatter rear tire is exactly the look i want, i just need some help learning up on what to purchase.

255/45/18 for the front and 285/40/18 for the rear is the correct height.
If you want a nice fat tire you can go with the Nitto 295/45/18's

Looks like what you have now is shorter than stock, meatier tires would make your car complete.

I can't suggest a size as I live in the truck world for that (unless you want 31x10.50x15s )

I think a taller, wider tire will do you a lot of good! With the taller tire though, you'll probably need a tuner to recalibrate the speedometer

While you're at it you may as well get a CAI with the tuner. You know, for best bang for the buck and all
