Well, the end of the seventh week came and went yesterday as I wait for ANYTHING on the construction of my wife's Mineral Grey GT Convertible. I have already purchased a sequential light kit to install from http://www.webelectricproducts.com/products.htm. Also under consideration is a light bar (read pseudo roll bar) and a functional shaker hood scoop. I would really like to see some company make the hood from the GT proto with the nostrils on the front, but that will probably remain a pipe dream.

I would like to know what folks think about exterior mods to convertibles. Which ones they like and don't like as well as the reason(s) why. Hope to see a good exchange on this one before my wife's car arrives.

Thanks everyone!

What I would do:

Shaker Hood with "Super Snake" Stripe in Matte Black on Hood only;

Matte black tail panel;

Matte black rear spoiler (if you're getting one);

Sequential Taillights;

255 50-17 Tires, or 18" Rims (Bullits or Torque Thrusts);

Eibach Pro Springs;

Window Tint.

 

I think LeMans stripes would be the best exterior mod for the vert. I love the '66 Shelby GT 350 convertible "look" they have with stripes.

 

i would continue the stripe throughout the car may look wierd with out the stripe on the deck lid and without it goin down the rear bumper IMO. D A M ur wife gets an 05 GT vert??? lol whats the idea???

 

The Le Mans stripes would look great on the vert, but he said he was planning on a Shaker hood...Shaker + Le Mans stripes don't mix...

With the right color combo, I would pass on the shaker and go Le Mans stripes too.

 

Yes, my 35 years young wife gets a 2005 GT vert! We both had 'stangs in the past and she drove her '88 LX for nine years and has always wanted another one. As soon as she commented on the 'look' of the '05s, I knew it was time for her to have another and a vert at that. I have my toys: a 2001 Intrepid R/T and a 1999 Honda CBR600F4. BTW, I will retain driving rights on the vert.
