Wow Tom...those wheels and tires really look good. They make a great statement. I don't know if it is just the angle of your pictures or what but it makes the car already looked lowered. I'm headed to the garage shortly to get my Pentars and Nitto's back on the car also. Hey, I'll bring a small set of bolt cutters next Sat. and we can take care of that antenna for you. P.S. I also think the centered foglight grill and GT500 spoiler will fit your theme.

That's the same shorty antenna we have on both of ours. No loss in radio reception.

Appearance only.... I had them on my '04 Mach 1 and transferred them over, before I had done anything else to the car. Now everyone asks me, "how could you cut a big hole in the hood for the shaker but you wouldn't drill two little holes for real hood pins?" LOL, if I had a nickel for everytime.......

Hey Tom,
Have you given any thought to the side scoops on the rear quarter panel yet. It would go with your overall theme... I think. Or should I say I believe.

Looks great Tom! I would have picked the same set up for your car!

As far as the next mods are concerned...."Do it!"

Thanks guys..... and believe it or not, I haven't waxed the car since last September. I wash, wax with Mother's cleaner carnuba wax, then coat with Meguiar's NXT wax, then top with Meguiar's detail cleaner. After that, a quick wipe with TurtleWax spray & shine and VIOLA, after 6 months she's looking AOK.

I have thought about those..... have you looked at any? There are some that I like, mainly the GT/CS scoops. What do you think?

Im not gonna lie. I come see your pictures atleast once aday. I really like how everything fits. Perfect example of a well thoughtout theme and execution of it.

BTW, that s/c really adds class

Looks good. Can't wait to see it lowered. As far as your next mods go I'd say no to the center fogs and yes to the GT500 wing although I perfer the CDC ducktail.

BTW-I'd have to disagree with the people that said get side scoops and a decklid panel. Adding side scoops will make the car to busy and the decklid panel would ruin the flow of the stripes IMO.

Sorry just one more suggestion. How about some MWAG mirror covers or Agent 47 mirrors painted to match?? Here's a pic of the Agent 47 mirror in VB.
