Smile 3rd Summer...make over

An opportunity came up for a hood and deck lid change.Due to the one-off hood color I decided to go back to all Grabber Orange look...for now.I swapped out with a dealership who wanted my striped parts.Considering body shop cost this was a no-brainer.Thanks to Pat Chambers from Colorado Mustang for helping with this change up.
Then I tried to secure a set of different wheels but then my buddy Mike Magree at O'Meara Ford offers me this set of 20" Blingz off a Cervini-Eleanor ,the new owner refused the wheels.I had to purchase the rear tires for the rear wheels but lucky me,I saved over $1500 on this set.
Wheels are 20x8 w/255/35/20 front and 20x10 w/275/35's on the rear.
I also got lucky with the hood and deck lid change and the new deck lid had the V-6 spoiler w/tri-bar emblem.

I think it looks REALLY good, very simple and clean. The only thing that doesn't really flow IMO is the aluminum trim around the rear quarter windows, it looks kind of out of place considering the toned-down black rockers and gunmetal wheels. But nice choices!
