That is fantastic. The exhaust tips look good too.

they are 18" or 19" ?

this is AWESOME. how much is it lowered? are those just replacement exhaust tips or is it a completely new one (looks great, wonder if the Ford accessory chrome exhaust tips are the same length as the factory ones or a bit longer like these here)? rims are not the best, but still look very nice (18s?)

I'm not too much a fan of lowering kits (RICE), but that does look nice. Awesome rims. Agree, this car can take a lot of mods and still look awesome. Just a great base shape to work on. The wheel wells look big with 17" rims, so 19" doesn't look oversize at all, just normal.

Checked Billet Specialties website. Those wheels are either 18" or 20". Then I
called JBA ... The guy couldn't tell me what size were on that car

Those have to be 18's... I've seen the Stang with 20's on it and they looked awful. Those rims fill the space nice. I think with the 20's you need low-profile tires that completely fill up the well.

That looks fantastic! And about the exhaust:
I would think that it has a full new exhaust, and not just tips. Since this is from JBA performance exhaust, after all.

Lowering kits aren't "rice" unless you tuck your wheels under the fenders. This car doesn't and in doing so looks very clean. The 05 Mustang stock has way to much wheel well gap. I'm not a fan of the wheels because they look a little to plain. [/b][/quote]
Plus the fact that lowering improves handling. (lower center of gravity, less body roll, etc..)
