Five Years Of Ownership Today

Just realized I've had her for five years and 42k miles today. I have no real camera skills but snapped a quick picture anyways.
Tint and exhaust when nearly new.

Last years accident.

On a side note, I've had my '94 GT since new (16 years now)

Yep, CS front bumper and a Cervinis Concept hood.

Car looks great. I like the clear front turn signals with the Redfire.

I celebrated five years a few weeks ago (9/7).

She is waayyy too dirty for a photo op at the moment!

Also, at 75k miles, she is also asking for cash injections now. Just had to replace the rear brake pads and both ball joints. They needed it though - she tightened right up in steering and handling with the new ball joints.

She looks great! What type/brand of hood are you running?

And thanks for the reminder--mine is going to be 5 in early November. Time flies when you are having fun!

They are actually smoked, the flash on the camera made them look clear.

Always something, they're almost like a GF.

Your Concept hood really looks good in Redfire. Of course, I like how in looks in Tungsten Gray too! My car is a little dirty, but I'll try to post a pic or two as well. The car is approaching 5, but the hood is going on 3!

I took some more pictures today, tried to get a better view of the hood.

Next time I'll take the front plate off.

Appearance wise the front end looks great!

But...If it were me , that antenna has got to go.

That does look better, I do want to get some 2011 mirrors with the painted caps eventually.
