Looks a lot better in black. Thanks for doing that chop for me.
*Scratches Chrome CS69's off list*

I think they'd probably look good. I didn't adjust the colors or anything, and the black ones are chopped from an actual car at a similar angle as mine, while the chrome was chopped from a stock photo. While I, myself, will be going with the black, I'm sure the chrome look a lot better than my chop has portrayed them.

But hey, if you go with black, my girl will have a twin, so it's all good

My wife doesn't like the black. I do. She likes the Foose Nitrous (chrome), but they are too big in 20" and too small in 18's IMO. It's going to come down to Fooses, or chrome Bullitts (knock-offs or American Racing Torq Thrust M's). Just be glad you've decided on a wheel.

Sorry, Richard. GTAP = GT Appearance Package. It was an option in '07 that included the hood scoop, intake manifold cover, and polished exhaust tips. I believe it's the same as the GT/CS scoop. I'm sure Kevin Casey can get it for you.

Grill is done. Couldn't find any of that trim at Walmart or Autozone. We don't have a Pepboys in this area, but I'm kind of thinking I like it better like this.

Front looks great

Got any other views of the Corral / Bezel arrangement with that gorgeous red paint?

Thanks. Yup, here you go. She got to go home and meet her sister for the first time yesterday, and they had to go out and play with friends.

Looks great.

I'm pretty sure that's the FIRST thing I'll be doing to the exterior of the Mustang when I get mine... shortly followed by Glassback top and Rims.

I am a fan of what is the "look" you are going for? Classic retro, if so what? BOSS, Shelby, Mach, ets?

If a new tuner look ( no not rice) what is your color scheme? in your face or a total blend?

I'm not going with any look in particular. I contemplated a Mach 1 or Boss look, but the problem is, Ford will be releasing those cars. Then I would feel dumb having the same nameplate on my car as one that Ford is making. What I've decided to do is subtlely try to capture the essence of the early fast-back. That's why I want to go with the CS bumpers. They're not in your face, but they are different. That's also why I'm going with the flush-mount louvers, and why I'm going to be going with 18's, instead of 20's. What makes me laugh is that in the 60's, the first thing people did was take the pony and corral out of the grill. The first thing I did was put the corral in.
