The term Black Chrome gets thrown around sometimes when it shouldn't, but none-the-less - those wheels are sweet. Very nice car, and the again, I love those rims.

Looks great! Please tell us more about those lower fogs. What brand are they, how did you mount them, etc.

The Powder Coat Co. Term for the product I Bought was called "Black Chrome" and in no way was my interpretation of the finished product. To be Truthful I was looking for something truly black and the result was not what I expected. None the less they turned out great. In the right light they have an iridescent quality to them

The 1/4 window parts can be found at haney motor sports

here is the link

The fog lights are from a pony pkg, 07 focus, or taurus x. The only differences to any of them is price and mounting brackets. I bought the focus set because for some reason they were less. Then I remove the lower grille from the bumper cover. removed the extremities from the lamps. Drilled holes into top and bottom of both the lamps and grille together, fastened them and put the grille back on.
They are beyond stable. Then I attached focus pig tail wiring to the existing wiring ( necessary for both extending the wire to reach and to have the right connection.)
This whole mod is done using ford factory parts

sucks on the tint. I like the overal look of the car. The only thing I would change would be to get some black radiator paint and / or move the horns out of the way.

Here is a photoshoped image of a Shelby GT running horse emblem on the grille. I also made the picture darker to hide the radiator to see if it would look the radiator would look better painted black

Looks great except I'd put on the logo in front. Except make the red and blue black and gray or something.

Can you see out of the PJ 1/4 cover at all? How well?

I think that is what I would get. Got a picture from the inside?

Don't touch it. You'll just wreck a perfect thing. Try to hide the horns; you can see them under the grill.
I voted wheels but really its the whole package. Not to mention the stance of the lowering springs.

Please tell us where you got the small fog lights in lower grille, who installed them, what sort of cost involved? Did your Mustang have factory fog lights before you added these? Details? Do you have more pictures of the mounts and wiring?

They don't cover the holes completely, but on a dark color are not noticeable. I mounted them so that the top hole was just under the top of the emblem and maybe at best shows 1/16 of the upper hole.
Because the emblem is more then a 1/4 in depth you never notice the bottom hole. If you buy them be careful when removing the mounting pins.

My mustang had factory fog lamps. I came up with the idea of moving them over the course of months. I have an advantage because I work at a ford dealership. I was able, with the help of the parts dept. to look at every current model year fog lamp assembly from the focus on up. The people I work with and my employer are awesome. When I tell them about my ideas they think I'm crazy and tell me to leave my car as is, always changing their minds after I have finished with a project. If you deal with any good ford parts dept. they should give you a break on pricing, especially if they carry them in stock. I've seen the fog lamps on ebay from time to time for the same or slightly less then what I paid which was about $75.00 for the pair. The pigtails ( Part # 3U2Z*14S411*VZA) for the 07 focus list for $34.25 for each side and then plug directly into the focus fog lamps. Be sure to buy focus ses fogs and not the appearance pkg. ones. They cost more and are not the same part #.
