Okay all. Here are the updated pictures. I'm going to start a poll here soon on whether to lower or not to lower...just got the springs today and am very leary of lowering and encountering other problems. OH, sorry about the size of pics again, can't figure out how to get them here without distorting the crap out of 'em!
PonyGirl, hope these are what you're looking for:

He Adrenaline...Thx! Hood scoop was a piece of cake. Centered off the scoop with measuring tape, and placed it as far back as it would to against the windshield washers sprayer thingiemabobs, drilled two holes for front pins, used rubbing alcohol to clean the area where 3M tape will stick (about 10 times), took some adhesive promoter, a heat gun for a little heat (although I was in garage) and put about about 35-40 pounds of pressure for about 15 seconds on each side. That **** is TIGHT and it's not going anywhere...I hope :=)
Same applied to side scoops as far as install. If they come off I will have learned a lesson...NO 3M Tape!

THANX...........just what I was looking for. I have other louvers picked out, so I hope they go with those c scoops, cause those are SWEEEEEET!! I will PM you tomarow on those. Thanx again.
I like the hood scoop too. Very nice ride. You have done great job........very professional without being "too much"......
I think it looks good like that, but springs might look good too...drop it a bit in the front maybe. ........JMO
very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks PonyGirl! I'm still trying to adjust to this 20"s thing though, don't know if I went with the right wheel or not...
I'm a little reluctant to lower but I know I'm going to have to. I have the Eibachs sitting out in the garage but from reading other posts the 1.4" - 1.5" drop might be too much? don't know if it applies to the "V6" and all but I'll be doing some more research before I do it...
Talk to you soon...I'll let you have those at 10% over my cost by the way if you want them. FYI - takes about a week or two to get them for you but they will get to you

Looks good, just what I'm looking for.
Those are the window scoops I want. Where'd you get them? Did them come painted? And did they come with all of the mounting hardware?
I know you can hardly see out of the rear windows to begin with but was it hard to get used to the scoops covering them?

Hey pittperson, I'll p.m. you with the info on where to get them. Comes with 3M and adhesive promoter. They didn't come painted had it done for $60.00 at body shop.
Just got them put on today so I really haven't had a chance to see what I can broadside while rollin down the highway.

Thanks for the rear pic, Matt. Just what I was looking for. Still undecided on whether or not I'll do the same thing (black-out w/ stripes)
Don't worry about the V6 comments.
I'm sure it bothered you. [/sarcasm]
I'm a V8 man myself, but that's just one more thing that gives us variety with the Mustang.

Stangnut, no problemo. I was a little reluctant to do the blackout with the stripes. Actually, I just finished out the bumper stripes last night. They initially ended at the trunk lid. I'm thinking about going back to that especially with that blackout.
Whatcha think man, should I get rid of those rocker stripes?? I've have seriously been contemplating that move all day today...
Nah, comments don't bother me much. I'm not much into speed anyhow, racing, etc. But what I DO like to do is take a car, for example this V6, build it from scratch, i.e, all the power adders, exhaust, interior, exterior, etc. and sit back and look at it and be pleased with what I see...I do all my own work with the exception of paint...
One reason i came to this forum was because not to much sarcasm or insults regarding the V6 Mustang. Seems everywhere else that's all they do and it gets a little old after a while. I come to the forums to pick up tips, see who's doing what, how they're doing it, IT'S GREAT!! Especially this one, some VERY good people here.

That's sweet. Nice car and pics. 
I would either get bigger meats or lower it a tad, don't slam it, just a tad. Anyone who can't appreciate a v6 that looks that good, shouldn't be driving a Mustang. I like the painted calipers too, what did you use?
