New Rims!! Black Emblems!!

Finally got time to get pics up! Got some 20" Enkei LS-5 Performance wheels. Went with the 8.5 in the front and 9.5 out back. Also put on the smoked front turned signals.

Quite a few more pics on my site, didnt have time to resize them for here

looks nice Heres what I would do:

1.MWAG painted mirror covers
2. Drilled/slotted rotors
3. red painted calipers
4.Gt500 rear spoiler(I do not care for spoilers like the one you have,looks a little ricey IMO)
5.maybe side louvers
6.meaner functional hood
7.lowering springs(Prolly ultralites since you got 20's)

1. Agree
2. Agree
3. Agree
4. Eh to each his own
5. Undecided
6. Agree, thinking cali dream hood or the saleen hood
7. Undecided, enough problems with hitting stuff already, lower may not be wise.

Thanks for the comments! More??!

Nice car man, I like the mods - especially the black emblems, but that wing kills an otherwise good looking car. (Normally I wouldn't comment like that, but you were asking for opinions.) Other than that, lower it, paint the calipers, tint the turn lamps on the front, and add taillight bezels. For $300 you could do that it would be even better.

Edit: I see now that the lamps are smoke. So scratch that.

I like the wing. Sets it apart from the other 1000's of stangs with the ducktail/GT500 spoilers. Great looking car.

If you have 20s, you have to lower it. 20s look very odd on these cars if they are not lowered.

I've never really liked black rims (too missing the hubcap looking), but lots of guys don't like my fanblades either, but I love 'em, so if you are happy, then enjoy the hell out of them!

I was surprised how well it came out with the 20s with not being lowered. I think it looks fine, and with my daily drive, speed bumps are a nightmare. So lowering wouldn't be in my best interest, it'd look sick! But just not functional unfortunately
