Very clean looking car. Great job
How are those Agent 47 mirrors? I like them, but the price tag has kept me away, even with the new price.
And how do you like your IMCO's? That was my first axle-back, but I had bad drone,only kept them on 1 weekend. Guess I'm getting old! LOL

Thanks. My wife has a great head on her shoulders, so when I go to mod my car I will ask her what do think of this or that. The skull shift ****, she still laughs when she rides with me and looks at the skull.

aircare84 I am still trying to get the hang of posting so I'm a little slow. I really like the mirrors. I got them through SilverHorseRacing. It cost me $425 painted. Install was a breeze, and I have no machanical skills at all, I can't even put oil in the tires!!!! The IMCO's are great. They do have drone but I have had them on for a year and a couple of months. I got used to it. Turned 43 last April!!

Thanks!! I was trying to keep it plain and simple. I have been looking at a 1 inch drop. Those 305 on the rear are 1.5 inches taller than stock so the butt sits a little higher. I still have to get a new trunk. Had the car two days and a little girl on her scooter dented the trunk. I took the spoiler off so I have 4 pimples on the trunk. Ford quoted me $525 for new trunk and paint. Lots of OT at the job so thats agood thing. Like Brandon said your never done!!!!!! Thanks for all the kind words and I'm glad you guys like what you see.

Sorry, I can't let you be "done with the exterior" until I see clear rear side markers and clear front bumper lights. Please repost your pictures when you have accomplished this goal.

Mike, I think your right!! I just looked at your car and I think I'm liking the chrome wheels. Your car is very nice!!! I love that deck lid smooth panel, where do I get one? See I am already thinking of more to do!! I live in Maryland are the clear rear side markers and clear front bumper lights legal? I do like the look a lot better.

Thanks for the compliments man, I love the chrome wheels! Black is hot too though, it just depends on what kind of look you're going for.

I love that deck lid smooth panel, where do I get one?
Down on the bottom right.

http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/05Exterior2.htm

I guess most peeps don't like it, because its been out awhile and I still haven't seen any other stang with it. I'm happy with the look though, and I like it alot better than the CDC blackout, because the ridges on the CDC panel weren't the smoothed over look I was going for.

I live in Maryland are the clear rear side markers and clear front bumper lights legal? I do like the look a lot better.
I'm not really sure what the exact laws are, but from what I understand is that as long as the lights illuminate the right color then they are legal.

I left the clear lightbulb in my front bumper lights and it looks really good. The fronts match the color of the headlights when they are both on. I definitely couldn't leave the front amber, because then I would have had 3 different colors up front with my white headlights and yellow foglights. I haven't had any problems at all and I live right down the road from two different police precints.

As for the rear side markers, they are still white/clear bulbs right now, but I plan on putting red bulbs in one day. They look ok, but red would match the tail-lights and give it a better look at night.
