I added a CF vinyl which helped with the down force at 30mph.

I might be in the minority, but I greatly dislike the taillight covers and body color RTR panel. Stock was better, but when you have a Mustang, often people *mod* their cars for the sake of modding them. Even if it makes them less attractive than they looked left alone stock.

Awesome. Great tires!
Roush and Cooper Tires worked together to design the Cooper's that are on the Roush cars.

Yes, the trunk is popped open in the pics.

The trunk is open in the pics, and see below - there's a plan for the center.

Otherwise it'll look good. Missing the GT badge though, in my opinion.
Lol yes, the trunk is popped open

The front pony went buh-bye when I went to the Muscle-series grilles with the fogs hiding behind.

This is waiting to be installed
I was told not to install any decals for 7-10 days, to let the paint breathe, ... whatever. I can wait a few days.
I have a decal for my Car Club going on the bottom left with a matching-size "5.0" going on the bottom right. All in flat black.

Polished the whole thing, especially the fender! I'm starting to like removing the wheels to clean it a lot more. You can really get the tire polished, the whole wheel and the inside clean, along with the fender wells and calipers/rotors, and it doubles to check all your lug nuts are torqued to spec, and overall it doesn't take much more time.

I also got to make sure all my center caps were perfectly level with the lugs and with each other! OCD overload!

I just always hated doing all the tires, then rolling the car backwards 180 degrees so I can ensure even tire polish. Not to mention how hard it is to clean past the spokes on the wheel!
