They look fantastic! I couldn't afford the Alcoa's and tires, so I went with 2010 Mustang GT Take-offs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!

Tamatt27, could you tell me the measurements of your lemans stripes? I am going to get mine done soon, and I can't find the proper measurements anywhere on the net. I am guessing that they are 8".

Thanks

Good mod!
But... What about windshield nozzle, Did you change its location? and
Did you cover the heat extraction? If not What happen when its rain?

Other question... When did you found the over hood red lights?

Thanks,

Thanks! I got the CDC wiper nozzle relocation kit...mounts them on the wiper arm. The heat extractors are not covered, but rain has caused no issues. I figure water comes in from the underside in the rain too!

As for the hood light, it was custom made for me. It has 160 Hi powered LED's and 32 transistors to up power the 12V. The link to his Ebay auctions is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AMEWAX%3AVRI

I had him add the 2 up power options for a total of $400.00 delivered

OK...added the Matte stripes

I finally gave in and did the matte stripes. I also redid my interior lighting to be closer to the TV car. I also added the Ford Factory Navigation system. Couldn't resist...$599 on Ebay! I also added 2010 Lower door speaker trim, and a full Roush carbon fiber dash kit.

You'll have to excuse the messy garage!! It's in the low 30's here in Florida and raining, so I couldn't take KITT outside to take new photos.

New Pics

Still chilly here, but the sun came out, so I pulled the car out to take some new photos.

Thanks for the compliments!!

As for the lighting, I did the interior with LED light stripes, then custom made covers from ceiling lighting panels from Home Depot. I added a high power single LED in the front footwells, 2 in the rear console, and one in the cupholder. I hardwired them all to the powerpoint in the console and put a switch inside the console to activate them. The front scanner was custom made, and I had to take a dremel to the inside of the hood on the air box for install. Finally the underbody lights were installed with plenty of 4 letter words!! I will never do those again!!

I've been looking for something to house my LEDs that are not by my feet.... I might have to check out these panels...

And the ONLY thing I don't like on the car is those rear light covers.... mainly because it reminds me when I had them and how crappy they fit. If you don't need to take them on and off I would highly recommend grabbing some VHT night shade. I love it on mine.

Car looks amazing either way though

What kind of rear valance is that?

The rear valance was made by 3D Carbon. I thought it would be at least a little different than the C/S rear bumper.
