Exterior mods (almost) complete!

Here are the first pics I took today, right after coming back from the American Power On Wheels meeting in Antwerpen, Belgium (see more pics from APOW here: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=52500 ).

Exterior mod list:

CDC shaker scoop
CDC classic chin spoiler
FRPP hood pins
17x9" anthracite Bullits
2006 Pony package front fender ponies
Pony tribar trunklid badge
Silverhorse Racing honeycomb panel
Stainless steel taillight bezels
"MUSTANG" trunklid letters
'69 Mach1 pillar badges

The last mod will probably be a black ponyless GT grille, OEM-style honeycomb with fogs (when somebody makes it).

I'll post more pics after washing/waxing, if we'll have another sunny day this year here.

UPDATE: see post #10 below.

Thanks, but that's not where I usually park it, both at home and at work there are underground parkings.
These pics were taken on a street close to my place, I was looking for a sunny spot but there are trees everywhere!

....

I couldn't decide between the gt/cs bumper and the cdc chin spoiler but I think you've helped make my decision. I think that matte look goes well with the shaker hood.

YOUR CAR LOOKS AWESOME. Do you plan on getting the mirror inserts? check out my pics you might like how they look. Did you add those side blinkers or are those standard over there?

To be honest, I like the way the matte black shaker, mirrors and honeycomb panel look, so I don't think I'll modify the mirrors.

The side blinkers in the fenders were added by the dealer to comply with EU vehicle regulations.

Looks good. A few guys on the 4.0 collective have painted their ponies black with krylon paint to give the ponyless look for about $7.

Looking good. I thought you said you weren't going to get the mirror inserts.

That is one beautiful car. The setting is also fantastic. Love the brick street and all the trees. I bet your car gets alot of attention there.

Check out Agent 47 's 2006 Mustang Gt, they have a complete mirror that uses the guts out of the factory ones and looks very cool!! I looked at it at SEMA and the car is really cool!! Just an idea if your going to re- do the mirrors.

They also make the pony-less grill for you!!!!!

www.agentfortyseven.com and here is my pic of it from the show!

John's Mustang, $79.95/pair: http://johnsmustang.com/Parts/details-13677.html but you can find them in other Mustang parts stores as well.

They are '69-'70 Mach1 roof side ornaments and have 2 pins each. I cut those off and used double-sided 3M tape instead. I've had them on for a few months now, without any adhesion problems. The only issue (like with the trunklid letters) is washing/waxing around them.

I like them, but the're a bit overpriced. As far as the mirrors go, I think I'm done now. The Agent47 grille seems to be a replacement, right? However, I'd rather spend that money on a honeycomb (OEM style) grille.
Thanks for the link anyway.

Is it me or the reflection but the passenger side hood pin looks like its bowing the hood in a little around it?

Love the ride!
