FINALLY my car.......

Finally my car is almost done!!! i couldnt wait to put some pics up on here, be gentle!! And before anyone asks, its the aeroform mystery 7 front end, cdc blackout panel, moss tail light bezels, gt/cs rear bumper, shelby billet hood pins, 3d carbon front air **** (painted to match the gt/cs rear bumper), cervinis lower scoops. I know there are some gaps in the hood, the body shop is working on that now. I also have new agent 47 mirrors not on yet and also upper cervinis scoops. I am ordering new wheels tires this week so stay tuned for more updates!!! O and btw I wouldnt recommend the aeroform front end unless you have a very large budget and a patient body shop lol. It took alot of work to get it to look right.

Looks good and I hope you don't mind me editing your post but your pics forced everyone to scroll from left to right to view them all

The overhang from the hood makes the front end look even meaner.

Urrp....shouldn't have opened this thread after eating so soon.

But to offer something constructive, It would appear that the front end does not appear lined up too well.

the fit needs some more work.

Get the fitment of the hood right and that car will look mean.

Turning out pretty well so far man, once everything gets adjusted the car should be pretty stunning. That's too bad about the problems with the hood. Though after Reading Ron Stang's thread I kind of assumed Aeroform has some quality issues.

Looks great - check the back corners of the hood (by the hinges). Mine rubbed the black plastic header panel (in front of the wipers) until I adjusted it a little. It only rubs when you fully open the hood.

Nice way to go on the rear too. Very clean looking.

Are you going to do anything with the ram air? See the link in my sig for how I set up my ram air.

As far as the ram air goes, i'm not doing anything to the motor performance wise till the warranty is up. Plus I dont have the money right now. Im planning on stroking it up to a 5.2 liter, and if the hoods ram airs work out with the way the motor will be set up then great but if not o well. I stopped by the body shop friday they had to grind out the back of those head light exstentions and then build part of them back up to close that gap between the exstentions and the hood by those little notches. I'm still not sure on the rims, once i get everything finalized with the body I'm going to start a poll on here and see what everyone thinks as far as my rims go!

Mine is all stock for now, and my ram air setup seems to work fine. If you decide to go that way, I can send you the dimensional info so you can make your own. It is fairly easy to do.

As for rims, I am partial to the stock bullit rims - they go well with these cars and I think they look great on your car. I have only seen a handful of aftermarket rims that I like. The Shelby CS67's are a good choice and follow through with the '67 Shelby theme of your new hood... (See pics)

Many of the aftermarket rims I have seen make the cars look like Hot Wheels or you should get a free gold tooth with a set of 4. But like everything else, it is a personal choice - it is what you think that matters.

Wheels will make a huge difference. I'm partial to the magnum 500 replica wheels.
