Well, it's done. The paint & body shop had the car for 16 days. They finished it up at 8:30 Friday night. That was cutting it close for me to take it to the Autofair Saturday morning. I'm very happy with the quality of their work.

Thanks to KC for helping me figure out the final few fasteners & wires I needed!

I also installed 36 sq ft of Dynamat Extreme under the backseat & in the trunk today. Not sure it made much of a difference in road noise, but it's hard to tell with the top down. Here are some pics:

Looks very good!

 

Nice, I especially like the S/C bit

 

I like the final outcome way more than the GT look. Great job!

 

that is very sharp.

 

your car looks awesome!!

i keep tryin to get myself away from liking the GT500 front (mostly because i know its lil costly for me to do haha). But man that just makes the mustang looks so tough!

 

Very nice.

 

lookin' good!

 

Sweet!

 

Looks fantastic - I especially like what you did with the chin spoiler and rear diffuser.

 

Thanks everyone. I'm surprised that the painted front splitter made such a difference in the look of the car. It's definitely the #1 thing people comment on.

 

Congrats on the conversion. It looks outstanding.

I also considered painting my splitter when I did my conversion. I decided against it since its such a rock and chip magnet. Also, I strongly suggest backing into parking spaces. Otherwise you'll scratch it and it will really stick out badly.

I'm a very "monotone" person so I think overall, your car was cleaner in the first picture.

But, I think the GT500 front fascia looks fantastic

 

I agree......I'll be backing into spaces and avoiding high speedbumps whenever possible!

 

SO YOUR IN THE FORT MILL AREA I WORK IN INDIAN LAND AND WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY HI FELLOW MUSTANGER... THATS A SWEET RIDE I WISH I COULD FIND A TORCH RED GT500 BUMPER LIKE U DID WHERE DID YA GET THAT....

 

Looks real nice. Thought about painting the front splitter too. But I'm glad I didn't cause mine got scratched from when I was hauling the car on a trailer. Sucks to be lowered sometimes.

 

sweet

 

It looks like a peppermint...


















on steroids! LOL.



Kickass build

 

Hello & thanks! I found the front end in a For Sale ad on this site. Contact 05stangkc & he will fix you up with all you need.

 

I tend to like stripes all the way through the car if I were to have a painted diffuser and chin spoiler instead of having those parts painted red. It's an interesting take, though.

Also, that "In Process" picture looks pretty bad in the front there. It's looks like it was cracked in the front. Hopefully you got that taken care of and it doesn't crack again later...

Other than that the white came out pretty nicely covering up that red. I bet that cost a pretty penny to have it repaired and painted... Looks like quality work!
