I saw this on mustang world today (sorry if this is a repost). What do you think? The guy has chrome on the fenders, tail lights, and grill, window louvers, xenon ducktail, and chrome bullitts. He even has a grill that looks like its off of a '67 (kinda like the one brad said might be an option for '06). I personally don't like it, but I think it is unique in that it pays tribute to the older stangs, but what do the rest of you think?

I like the chrome around the tail lights and fogs, that is what I am working on now. Chrome on the fenders is a bit much. Scoop looks small.

Nicely done though......

I saw a post about that before. Too much for me for my tastes. Looks like someone had a gift certificate at Pep boys and got 80 rolls of chrome trim tape. All that in the interior is but I'm sure he loves it and thats all that matters.

I agree. The chrome around the fogs and tail lights look good, but I'm not a big fan of the chrome fenders and rocker panel. It looks kinda odd on any late model mustang. Another thing is the chrome in the interior...I think its a bit over done. Also, the big "Mustang" letters on the stripes on the side needs to go. That thing is huge.

Aftermarket exhausts would have been a better investment.

I really do not like the corral on this car at all. Its time to let our horses free!

Actually this is a repost. This is the same guy that took a bunch of flak month's ago for what he started doing to it.

Waaaaay overboard.

Here's my comment from back then:

"It looks like a rolling J.C. Whitney catalog".

That car is a v6. If you ask me, that guy should've taken the money he put into all the aftermarket parts, and bought four more cylinders.

I know the car is ALREADY RETRO. I was just merely referring to the styling touches he added to make it look more like a 60's era stang.

Looks like he converted it from a 60's retro muscle look to a seventies cheap look. Just my 2 cents.

Needs a disco ball.
