Hey Bill.........the painted mirrors look sweeet...one of the things on my list in January for sure.....question about the louvers and the shaker...do you have them already waiting to be installed or are they just future mods? Just curious as I wondered where you got them from and would love to see pics of the louvers....let me know amigo....cya!

Haven't really looked at my calipers, do they have the pony stamped on them or did someone paint them on. Nice touch. There is some kit you can buy to paint your calipers, did you use that or have it done by a shop?

I'm wondering on the mirrors do they prep them so they are smooth when painted or do they still show texture?

The Nitto's are 255/50/17. The Louvers are on order, hand made, one set for SEMA the other for me. Should arrive any day now. The shaker is just what I will put on as soon as CDC has them. The Mustang logo and name were purchased as stickers for caliphers. The caliphers were primed, painted and then the stickers were applied and finally clear coated.

You know what would look great? Paint the spoiler black. A dealer did the blackout between the lights as you have plus the black spoiler as well a black hood section (but without the shaker...boo). It looks very good.

I put stickers on them also.

I got mine from an ebay auction. The guys website is http://www.xenonmods.com

He gave me a bunch of extras in case I messed one up.

Looks good, did you put a clearcoat or anything on it after applying the stickers? Which paint did you use? I am thinking about painting mine blue, I like the galloping horse emblem, looks good.

No clear coat. I bought a kit from G2. It had the paint and brake cleaner. It was easy to do overall. Some spots were hard. The brush that came with the kit was ok, but not for those small spots.
