Great photos Ray. Clearly your winters suck in California........I'm not jealous of that weather. Not one bit


BTW.....I'm the one that replied to Steve's Facebook photo asking if the black Shelby was Ray's (my name is Paul Tucker). I hadn't realised you guys had all been out enjoying your Mustangs together. Looks like a great bunch of guys AND Mustangs

Too much salt and WAY too cold here to washer her right.. hose freezes. I'm down to going through touchless carwashes and hand drying her.. She's usually covers in **** before I make it back home. (-.-)

Hey Paul, it's great to hear from you.
Nice thing is that the Mustang community is pertty tight so we tend to know or know of each other, it's great. So impromptu meets can actually work at times we did these one on a days notice

Detailed my car today! (thread about that is here: https://themustangsource.com/f659/winter-detail-517239/)

And on my way home from running to work and then some errands I stopped and took a couple more "wintery" pics!







I didn't mean to park right ontop of the ice! I swear! It just happened that way. haha

Yours is great looking too! I need to get some paint details fixed here and there on her and I'm debating if I want to do like you and get a full repaint done.

I love silver. It cost me like 3500$ but I had a few extras done. Pillars painted black, bottom center of front bumper painted black(like a GTCS), shaved trunk, & I think I'm forgetting something but I love my car & plan to keep it that's alot of why I had mine repainted

Thanks!

I prefer simple lines and I thought that the stock grill was too busy with the lights and pony, and it drew your eyes to the grill too much. The billet grill works as a sort of negative space that draws your eyes down the length of the hood rather than to the grill itself. The color black tends to make things look smaller as well so the grill had the affect of making the front end look a little sleeker in my opinion.

That's also why I want to wrap the roof in black vinyl and tint the windows, that'll be my next exterior mod because it has the effect of visually shrinking the glasshouse, making the car look lower and longer than it is. Almost like chopping the roof an inch or so.

Gotcha. I really like the look of the billet grille, but can't decide if I want it or not, haha. Sometimes I love the stock look and other times I think the same as you were saying, it looks sleeker without the fogs and the pony. Do you have the matching lower portion of the grille or just the upper part? I can't really tell in your pics.

Sometimes I miss having fog lights, but I plan to smoke the lenses and mount them behind the grill at some point so they're invisible until needed.

Also, I only have the upper billet because I'm planning on doing the CDC Aggressive lower at some point.
