I can appreciate the time and money that has been spent. Definitely menacing and looks very unique. The roof scoop reminds me of the one on the green eclipse on Fast and Furious.

Few things I would change, since you did ask for comments. The design of the front fascia shows a lot more of the turn signals, where the stock design is a smaller slit so less of the signal is showing. I think a smoked lense would look better on your 'blacked out' design, those big ambers really stand out.

Looks like you need more rubber. They look a little tight/stretched on those rims. Too much body gap between the tire and the wheel well. Maybe go with some 20's and a bigger tire, then and drop springs and it could ride at the same height but cut the wheel gap down.

Definitelly need to get the decal on the passenger door and lower fogs straight.

Really like the hood, that's sweet! Nice ride.

Well, actually, the Roush Mustangs have two extra fog/driving lights as well. But I see your point, the four stock size lights look a little big.

I gotta say I really don't like it. I don't like the hood, the vents (especially the roof one), the wide body kit, the extra fog lights, or the stance. It's all personal taste and it's too "boy racer" or "ricey" for this guy. I think it would look a lot better with the same wheels but wider and a 1.5" drop.

Welcome to TMS. That sure is a lot of work that has been done to that car. Not sure if I really like it yet. I am sure it will grow on me.

It reminds of a movie car, you know, something that would be used in a "Mad Max" remake or some movie like that....

Looks wicked, but I can't imagine how much extra drag those scoops and vents add at speed. Not to mention the weight. Without more power, this is a great way to make your mustang the slowest in town...

Not bad looking. Definitely reminds me of second cousin twice removed to Mad Max's Interceptor.

Welcome to the site - same ? as everyone else - have you done any mods to the GO aspect? I like the hood, not sure about the roof scoop - though it is unique. That is what is cool about Mustangs - they come from Ford one way, but you'll see thousands of variations to accomodate everyones tastes. Keep up the work.

Yes - they have Ruby Tuesdays in Kuwait. Lots of Westernization there and Qatar.

Who makes those wheels? I really like them.

As for the car, if it were mine i'd axe the roof scoop. Is it functional?
