She looks great!
I agree with Diva. Keep the headlight splitters off.

THANK YOU for speaking up on this. I was going to say something, but didn't want to offend anyone

But now that you said, yes, not only is it non-functional, but it's tacked on (and looks tacky), and impedes headlight brightness. Not really sure what its intended purpose is. Kindda like the tack-on hood scoop.... no thanks.

I think they looking ****ing awful on every 05+ Mustang. Also all the aftermarket headlights look like crap too. The only "good" aftermarket taillights I've seen have been the 13+ style for the 05-09 cars and the "retro" ones for 10-12's.

Would you be offended if I copied the way you finished your rims? Like I PM'ed you, they look amazing like that. My car will be black, and no OTT striping, so it won't look exactly the same....and I live a few miles from Texas so odds of us ending up in the same parking lot are fairly remote.

I think the original intent was to mimic the front end vents/look of the 70 Boss Trans-am car on the Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang. I believe the PJ was the first car they were used on.

Mind the (wheel) gap. Instagram filters make everything look better...
Some ADVAN TCII I had from my hyundai genesis. Needs some taller, non mis-matched/dry rotted tires, coming in the next couple of weeks.
