Hey Chad, your car looks great. I was wondering, since it is lowered, have you had any issues with clearance, like driveways, or curbs? I want to lower my car when I get it, but am afraid to, as I don't want to scrape the lower rocker panel on anything. If you can shed some light on clearance with your car I would apprecaite it. Thanks

I have not scraped anything yet. I take driveways at an angle to be sure and all, but I don't think it will be a big problem unless I am really careless. As for turning, I can turn to full lock and the tires still won't rub. If it were any lower, say the sportlines or something, I might have more of an issue, but I think the pro kit looks the best anyways so I am very happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for all of your comments, I can't wait for the stripes, ducktail and sidescoops. It should really turn heads then.

Hey Chad, that looks amazing. Tungsten just rules on this car - very, very classy color. I like your mods, cause I'm kinda of the "less is more" school of thinking.
It's pretty much perfect.
I'm considering the Tungsten GT now myself (maybe), and have the thought that the black Foose 19" wheels would look spectacular on a Tungsten GT. Anybody have any thoughts? Pic below...

The wheels are 18x9" saleen replicas with +36mm offset. I believe they are the same ones you can get from mustang tuning, but I got them from a place in riverside ca because they were less expensive ($800 shipped)and came with real saleen centercaps. The tires are nitto 555 255 45 18's. They have a bit more profile than I am used to seeing on the 18" saleen wheels because of the taller height of the 05+, but I like them more and more as I get used to them.

What is the name of the company that you purchased your wheels from? Do they have a website?

I first saw the wheels on ebay, but didn't want to deal with bidding on them so I called them and they told me they would sell them to me for the buy it now price. I think the name of the company was big custom wheels market. They probably still have ebay auctions too.
