Havent seen any 13s with fog covers yet (maybe b/c theyre a b*tch to get on):
Attachment 116763
And I think Im sold on this custom graphic to cover up the seams on my side scoops...
Attachment 116764
...but not sure if I want different text, maybe 302, or maybe none (and not sure about the roof blackout, so havent pulled the trigger yet)...

...matched up with an RTR-like hood graphic, but with thicker stripes inline with the hood vents (instead of painting them)...
Attachment 116765
...and probably a WMS CAI...
Attachment 116766
...plus a GT500 front bumper...
Attachment 116767
...so I can wire up lower fogs in a blue color (tied to parking lights only) to match this underhood glow...
Attachment 116768
...with some of that stainless, but not all.
And already got Borlas...
Attachment 116769
...but want Boss side exits and Intake. That should make it stand apart enough for me.

That's what's on your list. Dear 6lb 8oz baby Jesus.

Lol, yeah most of that I can do without voiding my warranty, along with suspension upgrades (waiting on RTRs Watts link for starters) and then power adders later in the warranty, but theyre not unique/different.

I was a big fan of this ride at the cruise myself (you can't ever really go wrong with Screamin' Yellow and black trim, and the wheels are just perfect :nice: )

Thanks Paul, believe it or not, I've had those wheels for over 4 years and having gone to many car shows and cruise nights in CT and a few Mustang shows at Englishtown, I have yet to see anybody with another set just like them :D

Here's our car in March of 2006 when I brought it home from the dealership. It started out as my wife's daily driver.

Sadly, something let loose in the motor last Thanksgiving, and it's been parked ever since! My plans are to have the motor re-built with forged internals by year-end. The engine shop says I should be at around 600hp to the wheels. That should be plenty! :nice:

This one was just a keeper to remind me of my '70 and '88 whenever I want to chill in the garage away from the wifey :-)

my 06 just rolled over 50k, love the car...wifes got about 15k on her 07 pony, and the 09 has still not yet seen the road, up to 4.8 miles from occasionally moving it up and down the driveway (had 3.2 when they dropped it off 3 yrs ago)

her 06 is 100% stock, she wont let me do anything to it, my 06 has cosmetics only so far- fang shaker hood, 70 mach style stripe, blacked the lower lip/rockers/wing, sequentials, and SHR louvers...

of all the stuff ive seen for these cars, IMO the SHR louvers are my #1 choice for changing looks of the car- #2 would be a shaker hood, just always loved that old black aluminum scoop :) eventually the 09 will get them too...hopefully.

SilverSkoundrel 8/14/12 08:23 PM

lots of pics, but they are just plain old mustangs...the few cosmetic things on the 06 dont hold a candle to most of the cars on this site...the black one on the second page of this thread with the flatblack stripe is a favorite, as is MTAS's car- havent seen pics of his in a while, but love the way it sits
