Here's a couple retro ideas that were already mentioned: 5 spoke wheels w/spinners, lettering, chin spoiler, side louvers, dash badging, hood badging...

Are the spinners easily removable if someone on the street decided to steal them? Hey... I live in NYC..

Mine are actully Ford spinners on Ford wheels... AND yes they just snap on and off. I haven't had any problems so far, but I could definitely see someone taking them if they knew how easily they pop off. Here's some that will not snap off but you have to supply your own caps: http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkjlmj6....brsparts.com/

Where did you get the Mustang script(I like it!)? I need a photoshop of the red rocker stripe(pegasusphototx) on a black vert before I make up my mind. I like the stripes, but I don't want to start cluttering up my car with too many 'touches'.

Is that a leather dash I see in your 1st pic?
Looks like stitching on the edge. Looks Great

Steve, It came with the PTP(Premier Trime Package) on the 07's. The stitched door armrest, center armrest, as well as the aluminum pedals, etc, were part of the package. KC can get it for you if interested, however, I've read that it is a PIA to install .

Not only that but it's over $1000 dollars.

For mine you need a tiny allen wrench,,,, and then you only get a useless cap all the mounting hardware is still inside the rim. I got mine from here http://brsparts.com/0506ffne.html

I have the ford Spinners and used a brass closet door handle as a lock. It's impossible to remove them without taking the tires off. Cost of my locks, less then $5.00 at home depot.

Here's one for the quarter window that actually looks old school:


I think Shelby Autos also sells them.

It's a Scott Drake piece. Many vendors sell their stuff. I like it much better than some of the bulky looking louvers.

I'm thinking about getting a set when spring rolls around.

i agree with lbjay. i like that quarter window chrome trim idea better than most of the covers. however, if you dont have chrome anywhere else, i would imagine that it might look a little out of place. it would be good to see other pics of it with the whole car in the photo.

If I had any chrome on mine, I'd get a set in a heartbeat.
