Talking All my new mods! UPDATED new pics of Airbrush work from Hireman!

**UPDATE**

Well, I have been holding out on TMS so here is all my mods all at once!

My Custom silver side stripes, Interior dress up from MGW, Custom Flowmaster exhaust (Flowmaster Super 40's with Silverline Beveled oval tips). Thanks to everyone who helped me out especially Ron (baldguy) and Mark (AFBlue)!

**UPDATE**
As promised here are the new pics of my cover and grill pony from Hireman, the pics do not do his work justice these things are incredible it's like inserting jewls into the grill! Got to say though putting the pony in was a PITA for me, those retaining washers are a to get on there, I ended up putting two on the one behind the legs just to help push the first one down. Results totally worth it 100%

That looks great Tom. I like how you did the cutout around the GT and of course I love the color.

Very nice looking I really like that license plate bracket idea too....too late for me though, because my front facia has already been perforated for my current bracket

Nicely done!!!! Like the custom tips on the Flowmasters. They fit very well and look very clean. How was it getting the tips off of the flows???....I often think about cutting the tips off of my flows and welding the OEM tips on.

Yeah, the cut out was a must as I did not want the graphic shop pulling off the emblem, plus I got to throw in some Stang heritage with a unique twist. Thanks for the help and the compliments, can't wait to see yours

You could always fill them in and use touch up to cover the body fill, then after a few layers of touch up hardens have a body shop quickly wet sand the bubbles down flush.

I did not do the work my self, Mufflex Performance in Hamilton Did (though with how much I was up their *** I might as well have ) My Flowmaster system is custom, not just because of the tips but because they are not American Thunders nor came from a kit, My flows are Super 40's with Silverline oval tips. But tip removal/installation is easy. The best part of my tips is there no drainage hole in them, due to the beveled edge that slopes down to allow for run off and they are solid 304 polished stainless. Thanks for the compliments

Thanks! It took me some time to figure out the proper stripe width and spacing around the stripe, Mark and Ron helped big time!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I am really pleased with how it turned out but it makes it that much more worth it to know you think it turned out nice too. I really stress over how my Stang looks when deciding mods (who doesn't ) I always think "if I saw this on another car how much would I want it on mine, and how can I make it mine and keep it classic".

Car looks good. Did you paint the vents by hand or pulled them out?

Neither sir, my vents came silver. It's hard to tell but I have the Charcoal dash panels so just like the silver IUP I get silver vents
