It's not that they don't look good Doug, it just seems like it's been done a couple hundred times already. I kind of agree with Nick, though I highly doubt MRT would put somebody elses wheels on and I can't blame them for not doing it. But I would expect a company such as MRT to come up with something original. I mean it's obvious they put a considerable amount of time in the way the rest of the car looks.

Just my 2 cents. I'm usually not this negative lol.

Nope did not know that , thanks for the info. But that would explain it. Never been a big fan of his wheels. Nor Boyds for that matter. Maybe I'm getting to old lol.

I will jump in and say that I like the car except for the hood scoops that slant and the wheels. I just don't like anything larger than 18 inch on the Mustang. JMO~

I think that they went a little "Pimp My Ride" on all the TVs. And I also think the hood scoops should be parallel. But to each his own, and I would still take a double take at it.

I don't care whose wheels they are. I think they're ugly and outta place on it. But, if everyone agreed, it'd be a boring world.

And other then the crazy amount of monitors, I wouldn't change much else.

(I'm withholding judgement on hood unil I see more angles).

For the record Doug, I dig it. I would've lied to have seen the side scoop treatment you had originally done, but I like the final product.

I like the design. I will have to wait to see the hood as the ones from your chop look straighter, but the wheels I like...just a little smaller.

Hmm.. forgot to ask my questions.

Are those the MRT head light covers that turn clear with the activation of the lights? (REALLY want to see these make production)

and...

What are the hp and tq numbers the twin turbos are producing? (If you can say)

Brian, to be honest I'm not sure but my gut is telling em they are not the automatic covers and I have no idea what the HP and tq numbers are.
David..No clue when i find out I'll pass the info on.

Thanks Doug! I am glad to finally see one of your designs brought to life. Hopefully this will be a start of some new opportunities for you.
