(i have the same front end) what are your thoughts on the set up, (sound, assembly, function and clearance)?

THANKS. i really like the exhaust, it sounds great, clearance is a problem, i scrape every now & then, does not seem to damage anything, i have to push down on the tips to keep off body, i watch where i go, every day driver i would not suggest it, u will love all the attention u will get, the 2 sided tape is not holding up, but that could be from the installer, i hope that helps, need any more info just let me know.

Are those the Cervini's C-Pillar scoops? They look huge on your car. And what quarter panel scoops did you go with?

Hell yeah! Nice. Somehow you pulled off a classic look without looking like so many other modded Mustangs. Great job!

It doesn't look over done at all. Every little detail is nice. Perfect build.

Definitely not overdone. I think it is awesome. Bold, aggressive, don't even think about it presence.

Looks like mission accomplished from here.

That's enough show....how about a couple of go mods now. I know this site is mostly about show mods. Very few posters have heavy power mods like forced induction running high boost for track use etc etc, so you'll get lots of support on all your show mods, but the aggressive look needs to be balanced with some added power.

I have the same exhaust kit on mine but a CDC ducktail spoiler and the back looked so plain to me. Your pictures have made me decide to get the black out kit for the trunk lid. It helps the back end look less like a sheet of plywood.

I also have ground clearance issues and I have gone to a muffler shop to get the pipes bent a little more to get another 1/2" of clearance. I think I am going to look at a getting some custom made SS exhaust tips made instead of the aluminum ones. Mine have only been on the car about 2 months and they are already hard to keep nice and bright.

Good job on the car, looks great!

Umm... This is the Exterior Mods subforum, we also have a GT Performace Modifications subforum where lots of people are running power adders and discuss performance mods.

Don't be so defensive and protective. It's an opinion on an open forum. Not worth anymore or less than anybody elses. The car's exterior mods are not in balance with its performance.
