Anyone catch the tire size? Looked like 255's to me.

Car wasn't bad. I liked the stripe job. However, I love the fogs in the grille and the rear emblem so its not totally up my alley but it sure looked nice driving.

No way I could drive a car that low through a winter though

Just watched the show. They were saying that the rear spoiler was a one of a kind that was created during the build. It looks like the one on their website though. It's one of the best looking spoilers I've ever seen.

I really liked the stripes too, I wonder if they would look good on Torch Red? My wheels are already gray so maybe???? :scratch:

Yeah, that annoyed be too, because it is the spoiler on the Westrendz car they showed at SEMA.

Also, speaking of spoilers, did you notice in the beginning, they had their original boy racer wing, and at the end, the new Westrendz one. I was really glad to see Foose stepped in and made the right call.

Just saw the show also, the car looked great. But even Foose has a hard time improving on an already awsome car. I liked the changes but the true essence of the car is there, it overwhelms the changes and screams out I am a MUSTANG GT!!!!

Ok a bit dramatic, so what.

I really like what they did with it...I have a feeling you guys would be whining a lot more if he really started messing with it..
Its modded without detracting from the already great design, Foose probably realized this early on and didnt want to change the overall configuration and essence, as someone said earlier, of the car.

When Chip Foose puts out a product like this, it just re-enforces what's been said from the beginning. There's very little that can be done to really enhance this particular Mustang design. The thing is sweet right out of the box.

The finished product looked pretty good though. Not sure I was that into the stripes, but one thing is for sure, the car will go like stink and no one else will have one that looks quite like it.

The Westernz spoiler on the car was probably one of the first production versions. The one on the show car was probably a one off. For the tail lights, they used the tinted overlays, I think?

I am still without cable tv here near New Orleans... and will be for another 3-4 weeks. Glad I have internet here at work to see the pics. Overall, I like the car because A.) it has a supercharger, B.) it's definitely unique and it's a Foose, and C.) it has a supercharger.

Agreed. I liked the wheels and the interior but the body kit was too much other than the sweet rear spoiler. Not really into the tinted tail lights either. I think the stripes would have been better if there weren't quite so wide.

I like the car but the family didn't seem very appreciative of it. The husband looked like a real jerk when he was arguing with Chris before he even saw the car.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but I was kind of pissed when I saw that, I understand to each his own, but to doubt what Foose was going to do with the paint, "after" he saw the drawing at the begining of the show was not right. The amount of money and effort put in that car I could not afford, but sure would be happy to take it, whatever the paint job looked like........just my $.02. Good show though.

I wasn't too crazy about the stripes. The stripes on the side looked kind of out of place IMO. The front fascia was alright. The wheels rock, though. Frankly, I'm not so crazy about what Foose has done on the '05s. Maybe it's just hard to improve an already great thing. That classic he did a while back - now THAT was awesome!
