The duck tail is awesome, but I don't like anything else about that car. Especially hate the front end.

I agree, those tail lights are the best part of the car to me. Would love to put those on mine if the price was reasonable. They look reminiscent of old shelby and thunderbird rear lights. The rest of the car looks very mismatched. Has very nice elements to it but doesnt look that great as a whole. Needs to lose some manufacturer stickers too.

All of the kit components should be to market by early February sometime. Thalon Design is just that a design company. Halibrand Performance will handle the marketing and dealer distribution of the kit and its components. At this time we are working on final pricing and availability of individual components. The light upgrade should not be that intense of an install. We are looking at two options for the rear light portion of the kit. I will post what will be production when we finalize. The lights in the SEMA car are pre-production units. They are similar to the production units. Production units will light up across the back of the mustang. As for modifications to the back of the car you should not have to make any to install these lights.

What is up with the front spring rates? 350#s is a lot for a coil over type suspension, much less 650# which is probably above the realm of running a race coil over.

Ford factory spring rates are:
Hardtop - 165lb front 142lb rear.
Convertible - 144lb front, 122lb rear.

Steeda Spring Rates:

Steeda Sport Springs - Spring rate is 200lb front, 175lb rear.

Steeda Ultralite Sport Springs - 195lb front, 175lb rear.

Steeda Street/Comp Springs - 225lb front, 185lb rear.

ok i know ive sed i wanted full length tailights before, but wow



i really dont like this car.its eleanor all over again but with a different paint scheme

someone do us all a favor and put that car out of its misery



if i ever meet the people who designed that infernal eleanor its a quick for them

make it stooooop

BUT--

in the spriit of optimism, the performance add ons are great, just the visuals? well... shoot my eyes please... sorry if im coming off harshe but eleanor just downright pisses me off

(unless we're talking the original eleanor, the 73 grabber orange fastback )

Chip Foose designed Eleanor. I love THAT car, but I am tired of the SN197 eleanor stuff.

Eleanor is an amazing car. Foose took a shelby and made it better. The one thing I don't like is the foglights next to the headlights, the rest is cool. I for one am so glad that you guys are offering this kit as individual pieces. Please let us know on pricing as soon as possible. Also, please keep the front end and hood a reasonable price.

I'm also not a big fan of the overall look of this vehicle. It does look ALOT like an Eleanor or Ronaele clone. But with that said, I may have an interest in the tail light panel to complete my Shelby tribute vehicle.

yes,here is an update: thalon's webpage says the kits are 12k!!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/chairshot.gif[/img] The only difference from other eleanor kits is round headlights with foglights next to each other,shelby taillights,+3000 more dollars to except order!!!,ugly quarter side scoops,and molded plastic crap. Oh,and the ronaele bodykit is $3200 and has no foglights next to the headlights,headlights are stock,better looking sidescoops,no shelby style taillights,and no molded plastic.Beat that,thalon. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

oh and the thalon kits take 2 months to ship!!!

here is pics:http://www.thalondesign.com/
