Thanks! The wheels are AFS purchased off of eBay. They are good quality. The clear didn't hold up well with the snow and salt last year, so I'll be replacing them in the next year or two. But if you keep them away from that, they'll last. I think I paid around $600. I'm not sure of the name of the stripe color. I just picked it out of paint chips. I wanted them to be pretty ghosty. It's like 2 shades darker than stock MG with a bit of medium blue pearl.

This is My Mustang GT ordered in Novembere of 2004, Built in December of 2004 and delivered in January of 2005. I had the car 5 months when this picture was taken by this very website. I have done more upgrades to the Interior only by adding more satin aluminum to the cup holderxs, headrests via a replacement saleen headrests, and a shifter bezel out of a CS for my manual transmission. More upgrades done than listed.

All very nice cars, MG is one of the most underrated colors. It was one of the best 05 colors your all lucky to have gotten it on the S197. I really like the white MG combo on your car hhbh 720.

I chose MG not only because I liked it, but because it's a subtle color. I bought the car to enjoy, not to impress every 20-something tuner on the street.
Interestingly, when they saw it for the first time, at least five of my friends said the exact same thing: "Nice, it's the right color!" And only one of them was a Ford guy...

Thanks! I didn't like the vinyl lettering on the side or the chrome lettering on the trunk... So I went with the 65 GT style stripe with the chrome lettering in place of the vinyl... The "U" on my driver's side is off just a hair when you look close tho... I just eyeballed it putting the letters on.
here in CT.

Thanks
As many here have commented in the past, Mineral Grey is not done It's true justice in a picture. This one looks like the "Roush version of the Eleanor". The body color lost it's gold and brassiness with the addition of the Black Stripes and Wheels to become more of an old school Gray.

Sounds like a nice change. Instead of the Steeda badge there, the GT or a Tri-Bar Pony might be good. The ones i have seen without the badge addition looked like they were missing something.

I agree about looking as if the grille is missing something when there is no emblem on it. It makes the front resemble a v6 imo, that is why I want something there and I really don't want to put a Tri-bar on considering how many others have the same set up. But, thanks for the comments.
