Really liking the side stripes...I also like the stock Bullitt wheel look - just need bigger ones - would hate to clean those Foose wheels

Thanks donjuaniii, Yea the wheels will be a challenge to keep clean but i love em! I have pretty much settled on megs spray wax to help keep them up? No white film in case i miss a spot while wiping off and it may even help protect more around all the rivets

Sweet! Yep I really do like that stuff.... So what sort of light set up are you getting? Be sure to post pics- did I read ultra violet right? If you did get the ultras, you'll love the color, but it's hard to get a photo- it always looks blue on a picture, with the iPhone camera anyway- weird.

Got my new new springs on and it looks awesome, Now i have to figure out my vibration/movement in my steering wheel? I have 20's on and since i put them on and took off the 18's i've had some steering wheel movement at different speeds? I have read some post that say to check to see if the factory clips on on the lugnuts, So im gonna pull the wheels today to see if they are there or not? And remove if they are

Might need re-balancing. Mine did that at different speeds to and I had discount tire fix them. No issues since.

Sure enough! Just got back and They def. needed to be balanced (Even though they said they were balanced before being shipped) Plus the Retaining clips were on the lug nuts, Luckily i was watching and requested that they be removed. So the shake in the steering wheel is about 95% gone now.

There was a time I was dying to get a new white Mustang and have blue stripes put on it as a tribute to my Cobra II which was my first car. It does seem I tired of the idea because it became too common and I started appreciating a black on white theme more.

Yea watchdevil that's kinda another reason i went with Kona blue, Just to mix things up a bit, bright deep metallic blue in the sun but as it gets darker so do the stripes.

Thanks Pinoy361, Tomorrow I am planning on giving it a good rub down to remove the rust on the rotor hats, the disc are actually clean but look rusty in the pics for some reason? I was just looking for some options on painting the rotor hats, That part will still be visible from the outside after the rims are on.

I see. Take some degreaser though and a really good brush and clean up the bacside of ur rims! All that build-up adds weight, turns into rotational mass and slows you down!!
