Talking question for everyone

hello all. my wife told me that for xmas this year we were going to get another mustang 05 or newer gt (she drives a 02 mineral gray coupe) this time it was going to be MY car not our car haha and I was wondering....should I go with the shaker hood and quarter window glass covers that cjmustangparts sell (they claim it makes your 05 or newer look more like the 69/70) new spoiler and louvers on the back glass along with the new grill putting the fog lites in the center or maybe eliminating them.... basically converting it to look like the 70 mach 1 OR should I buy the KR hood and quarter panel scoops and quarter window glass scoop and a gt500 spoiler (ducktail?) and that same grill that I described earlier to make it look more like a 68 shelby or even a supersnake? whatever I go with will be in black....ALL BLACK Can anyone show me what an all black "supersnake" (without any stripes) would look like and what an all black "mach 1" would look like? so what "package" should I go with? thanks and look forward to everyones opinion.....

I would go the SS way also. That would be sweet. I didn't go for any look in particaular but here is my version of a blacked out s197.

Gary, those wheels are sweet. I want them. What kind are they? Where do you live? Would you mind stock anthracite 17" replacements if you had the choice? They have good rubber left on them too...

I'm in Victoria, but I'm good with these wheels. They are from American Muscle.

I didn't ask if you were good with those... I asked where you were...



No, really, being serious now... what's the model number or whatever identifying marks? I want some *just* like those. They're exactly what I envision on the Awesome one day. Do they come with those caps?

Ok, maybe I found them... these?

With these caps? (four of them... you have to order 4, right?)
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bucecap.html

And one set each of these?
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bucecap.html

How'd I do?

They come with those flaming M caps. I ordered the large tri-bar bullitt pony caps extra.

You are correct sir!

However, I did use the 18x9 on the fronts, but I used the 18x10 on the backs.

So technically it's 2 and 2 and 4. I got them for Christmas last year and I received them with no problems and quickly and to this day they are blemish free. I highly recomend them. At the time I found a online salesrep around here or one of the other forums and emailed them direct for a discount code they give to Mustang forum members. Worth checking out. I think I saved 7 or 8% if I remember right. They change the code every few months and they guard it like its missile codes.

Kewl! That's exactly the report I was lookin' for... the "i'm happy and they're not even a problem" one. Heard a few aftermarket wheels that were... odd.

Thanks Gary!

/wonders if they'll take DLG 2209 TVX
//or maybe CPE 1704 TKS
///perhaps 222333? Nah... That'd be too easy.
