New rear Louvers, Friont chin spoiler, and hood scoop.

Very sharp!
Are those red pinstripes bordering the LeMans stripes? Nice touch.
I even like the chin spoiler painted retro black. Good move.
Where did you get the louvers and what do you think of the fit and finish?

WOW! Yours is the first 05+ I've seen those louvers on that looks really good! I never liked that scoop before either but your car looks perfect with what you've done, especially the color combo on your stripes! Nice job, very, VERY good looking car.

Louvers I ordered from Dallas mustang, I had to wait 3 weeks for it to come in, but it was worth it! The pin stripes are red on the outside and silver on the inside if you close. The finish on the louvers is the flat black which was perfect for me and the fit is very nice, there is a gap of about 2 inches from the bottom but is not noticibile. the louver will lift up so you can clean the back windows.

are those the Aluminum 1 piece louvers? Some sites advertise both a one piece and a two piece product. Im definetly getting the louvers soon.

Looks great on yours, keep up the good mods!

Also, does it flip up for cleaning of the rear window? How is it attached, just with 3M Tape or does it secure to the edge of the glass? Hows your visability out the back now?

I piece louvers and the louvers are put on by 3m tape but the set up is done very nice and it is very secure. I have taken to 100 mph with no problems of the thing flying off. visibilty is great there is no problem seeing out the back. These louvers are not cheap but well worth the price...

Awesome thanks for the info. I actually wish they were secured with something besides 3mtape. I know I know 3m works great, its just the thought of all this expensive stuff being held on with JUST TAPE! But those louvers are deffinetly on my "TO BUY" list.

Great-looking car. I'd say no on the hood pins since you have the stripes and hood scoop -- it would make the hood look too 'busy'. The only thing I would change is maybe some old-school-looking wheels.

Great look on the car.
I don't think that you will find 15" rims that will fit over the rotors and calipers. They are really close with stock 17" bullitts.
Do you have any pics that really show off the hood scoop? I was looking at putting o solid black scoop on mine, just wanted to see how the colors look on yours to kinda get an idea. Thanks.
