Hey everyone,

Thanks Alex. I traded my '09 C/S for the '13 GT so I recommend it if you have the chance.

We'll def have to meet up then! I already know a decent amount of S197 owners around here, even a few on this site. I'm going to try and put together some meet-ups.

Thank you! Love Bullitts, I was going to buy one but couldn't make the right deal with the seller on an '08 so bought an '09 Calif. Special and later traded it for the '13.

Got the Boss 302 S wheels over the weekend, I think it completes the look I wanted.

Looks so good! I can't wait to get my suspension on. I have two appointments already for clear bra and tint lol. Is that the Roush front lip? And did you plastidip your rear valance?

Thanks, it takes time but one mod at a time until it's just right for your taste.
Yes, it's the Roush Front and side splitters. (Hard to see the sides and rear because of the ground shadow). No, the rear valance is vinyl wrapped as are the rear spoiler and mirror caps to match the stripe color.

Hey Glen, thanks for the welcome. What's the "bigo" bridge? (I'm not terribly far from any S.F. bridges)

That's a sharp Mustang! I really like those wheels. How much of a hassle with the newer cars is it regarding new wheels and the pressure monitoring systems? From the tire/wheel websites that I've seen, it looks like it could be an issue.
