REALLY good wheelman!

Hey, thanks!
Also added a side stripe over the weekend. I think it matches the hood stripe pretty well:





Still need to fix a couple of pieces, as I missed some air bubbles because I finished up well after dark, but the set is only $50, no biggy.

Nice ride Wheelman. Any plans to put a front splitter on it?

Thank you! Eventually, but I honestly like the little OEM one a lot and would like to just replace it with a cf one, but I've scraped the OEM one so many times I'm in no hurry! Turning her into a dedicated track car so I'll probably need something more functional, but I'm also a poor SOB, so it'll be a little bit.

The Ford Racing piece is pretty nice but it sounds like you have the same disease I have, empty pockets. Its huge price tag and the issue we have do not play well with each other~

I do like that one and the painted StreetScene2, but I'd also like to convert the front end to the 11-12 look with a Roush bumper at some point. Has anyone done that yet? I think 11-12 front and 13-14 rear would get you the best of both worlds looks-wise IMHO. Im just finishing up suspension 2.5 years in and am moving on to wheels & tires next, then exhaust, so that'll be awhile too.

And don't come back!

I think converting the front of your ’13 to the ’11-’12 style has been done but I think it’s pretty costly since it includes the hood as well as the front fascia. I do agree it would make the best appearing S197!

I really like the side skirts on your car. What brand/model are they?

What’s wrong with the wheels and tires that are on the car now? I was thinking they look pretty sharp!

I'm hoping it's not too much more than a hood, grilles & bump cover, but there's probably at least some brackets and hardware that I'll need to change for the fascia. I should have the exploded views on (a service manual) CD, but haven't delved into it yet. I'd like to pair a Cervini's Stalker 2 hood with the Roush bump cover.
Thanks, they're Saleen, but you'll notice that they're missing the cladding piece that sticks on the door. Seems I bought the last set in stock at Saleen sans that piece and the screens that go in the cutouts. I've called Saleen over a dozen times, spoken to Shaun Saleen who supposedly gave me his personal cell phone, been hung up on twice even though I was very nice in every call, all to no avail. They've never sent me the missing pieces, the fit /finish on the pieces I got were garbage and Saleen's customer service is just what everyone says it is: a complete joke. They don't give a rat's azz about their customers and I'm out $1,500 (including paint), so I will never buy Saleen again. /rant I bought them only because I effed up my p/s rocker molding and never really liked the blocky OEM ones. I'll be replacing them with a Frankenstein Boss/Cervini's side exhaust setup.
Thanks again! For $140/wheel and $170/tire, I'm very happy with both. I just want to step up to forged wheels and summer tires, but I'm really picky so I'm saving to buy Forgestar CF5s because there's not a lot else I like.

Great photo!

what a nice collection you have there! That red shelby is identical to the mustang i first tested back in 2011 when i started considering mustangs. I decided i wanted a convertible. I have no regrets, but would still like to add one to my stable.
