Got my car back from the paint shop Friday. Of course after a couple weeks waiting, my ankle gets injured Thurs and I really can't drive it or take it somewhere to get really nice pics.

Here's a couple for now, will post better shots later:

Dineau

Very nice, I like it !

Those exhaust are also nice, I think I prefer this to the Saleen oval ones.

Torch_Vert

Yeah, I actually picked up both Saleen tip types to try. The Gurney style dual tips definitely look better to me.

Wades GT

I like the it. But the Gt500 wing looks very plain compared to the roush wing you had on before. Still looks very awesome either way.

Torch_Vert

Thanks. Yeah, the GT500 spoiler is a lot simpler, but I'm sort of liking the clean look to it at the moment. It may not end up as the final solution, but it'll do for now.

Oh wow that looks great!

05YellowGT

That looks great ...

MadGT

Wow, well done.

if you get a chance, maybe put up a before/after pic- moving the plate out of the bumper makes a dramatic change to the rearend- looks great.

i still wish someone made lenses without backups- still seriously thinking about getting some broke junkyard lenses and milling out a outer reflector part/milling out my backups/inserting the red piece and getting three similar lenses like a 69... think it would be a cool option to have available for any rearend treatment...

edit- i took the liberty of editing your pic- what do you think? couldnt that be a pretty easy option if someone just popped out these lenses? i did a little chop on mine a long time ago, still would like to try it for real sometine...saw a olds aurora with little almost unnoticable backups right beside the plate, thinking something like that could work for backups...just a thought, curious how others would feel about it...

ha! I just showed the above pics to my wife, asked her what she thought looked better, she picked the all red, but the white ones were ok too...'like ours'...um-no- she actually went out to look at her car she said she still dont want to change anything on her car, but still, i thought that was kinda funny.

musshoss

wow, looks sick

Torch_Vert

I think you and I think much alike my friend. I've been considering doing exactly that for a long while. Maybe with the car pretty much out of ongoing project status, I'll give it a go

Shotokan1509

I vote that is way too much work, and will be difficult to get a seamless insert. I would start with a piece of red vinyl as a trial run, and then if you still really like it find a paint shop that will paint 'em. While you are at it, get a light tint done too to make them a deeper red, I also had the outlines of the lights painted black.

Tinted & outlined:

sun vs shade

Comparison of black outlines vs not (the lights dont have the swirls, just bad pics)

Nice, but hey if you need it driven anywhere I'm only about an hour and 1/2 from the Boston area.

Torch_Vert

Thanks for the offer, but I have the wheel time booked up for the next decade or so

Torch_Vert

I knew somebody had asked for this, but have been hunting for the post it was in for about 40 min...

Here you go (finally):

WOW, huge difference, yet instantly recognizable as a mustang...I think THAT would have been a better choice for the 2010 model than what ford did

Shotokan1509

Meaner and cleaner, win!

Torch_Vert

You know, with the major styling changes, it was always in the back of my head "it's not bad now, what if I screw it up"?

Seeing the side by side, I am sooooo happy I went through with the revision

You should have kept the Roush wing in my opinion.
