Great looking car! I love how you've tied the chin spoiler and wheels together. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Well... I wanted 2 emblems, thats why I put them there, I like 2, but only 2. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]
As for the "snowplow" look, that is what I wanted, as it makes getting out of the garage on an early snowy winter morning, much much easier. (Don't have to shovel!) Nothing like doing "donuts" in freshly fallen snow, right up there with "Down-hill Tubing" and Co-Ed Naked Skydiving. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]
If you haven't done any of these...you don't know what you are missing.

I like the spoiler, but I think it would look better color matched. Just MHO. Otherwise, very nice!
Just curious, is the CDC scoop a bolt-on? Or just the double tape?

I've been kicking the color match thought around myself, but I'm near convinced that I will leave as is. Just finished painting my lenses (signals, tails and sides). Will install "smoked" pieces in the AM and see what the completed look is like.
CDC scoop is a bolt on (7 bolts) with double sided tape as well (very narrow around outside edges, acts like a gasket between scoop and hood. Most work was moving the washer squirters to the wiper blades (a much nicer location I think) simple hook-up for the turn signal indicators on the back of the scoop.
Did have to spend some prep time on the scoop (every fiberglass piece is imperfect) but overall quality is very good. Until some one comes out with a nice aluminum hood (maybe on the Shelby or CS/GT??) I think this scoop is nice upgrade. BTW...if shopping for one, check mossmustang.com They are 100.00 cheaper than EVERY ONE else! (244.95 vs 345.00)

Finished the Black Lens install. Love to do a mod that costs only time. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
Anyway, I pulled all the lenes from the car, (not the headlights, though), gave them a wipe down with PrepSol, scuffed them up with a 3M grey scuff pad, taped off the trim and light bulb holes, mixed 8oz clear with about a 1/2 oz black, layed 4 coats on the front yellow lenses, 4 on the side markers and 3rd brake light lenses, only 3 on the tail lights, then fresh clear over all (2 coats). Let dry fully (48 hrs) and just finished the re-install. The lights are still very bright when activated but the loud reds and yellow are toned down greatly. This mod completes the look I was going after. Front chin spoiler to stay black!
