GT500 Wheels + CDC Classic **PICS**

Here's the 18" GT500 wheels w/ Nitto 255/45/18 and 285/40/18 installed on my car (CDC Classic is mocked-up: fit but not bolted in.)

Here are some more:

I'm going to have the top 1/3 of the CDC Classic painted body color, as to not lose the lower edge when the lip is installed

Can you measure the ground clearance up front? I have the CDC lip and will be installing my FRPP springs shortly.

Already took it off the car, sorry.

If you measure the point at the fascia nearest to the wheelwell, it won't be any more than 0.5" less than that.

That's because GT500's have a flat rear quarter panel section, whereas the GT's have a the "lip kit" on the lower part of the rear bumper.

What he said! Awesome!

I think the fact you have no spoiler along with the new wheels make the car look like its sitting a lot lower,even though its already lowered.Thats one nice set-up.Pat

I think that's the best spoiler-delete mustang that I've seen IMO. The wheels make it look even better.

Thanks, guys.

It won't be spoilerless for long, though...I have a CDC Ducktail waiting in my garage, along with a SSE Center-foglight grille.

Clean and simple, which is always the most striking, IMO.

On all colors Except WHITE

As SteelTownStang suggested, the Chin Spoiler would look great painted in the Body Color entirely.

I saw this (see attachment) Mustang in Japan, at the shop that does the Saleen importing for the Tokyo area. This is the type of painting I'm going to have done to the chin spoiler. (In Tungsten, obviously )
