Had to step away from this post for a second so i didn't reply like an a$$hat.
Honestly I all but forgot about the dent, Went the car was black i could hardly notice it. Only until i posted the picture did i remember.
The side markers I purposely covered. I don't like the orange. Plus when my car was black, they were painted black as well. So i just wrapped them.
This wrap wont please everyone. but i didn't do it for everyone.

Just get the dent pulled out by a PDR guy. Probably won't cost very much at all. Shoot, that one looks so minor, you could probably pull it out yourself with a Ding King kit!
As far as the side markers, yeah you need to cut those out. You aren't street legal without them. I think they would still look good tinted.

lol, the wrap looks phenomenal though! I've been dicking around here at work on youtube, watching car wrap videos and omg....I don't know how you even attempted this on your own! They usually have 2-4 guys doing a panel at a time and it looks sooo easy to mess up. Hats off to you man...I would NOT have the ***** to attempt this lol

So technically speaking, Ford didn't get there first, however the Mustang made a much larger impact and was by far much more popular in the youth market as Tom also mentioned as well..
I just find it very ironic and also as a coincidence that Dodge did not resurrect the Challenger from extinction for over 40 years until after Ford introduced the S197 Mustang in 2004 as a 05MY while GM also followed suit by bringing back the Camaro after a 7 year hiatus in which we all know that GM took a similar approach in the styling dept just as Ford did with the Mustang's S197 retro styling lol.. As both GM and Mopar saw how popular the S197 was such a hit and therefore wanted back in the game just as they did over 40 years ago

I currently have 20x8.5 no spacer on 255/35/20 Front and 20x10 no spacer on 285/30/20 Rear..
I would like to go square so that I can go back to tire rotation once again, but I'm unsure if I should stick with a 20 wheel and tire combo or if I'd be better off switching to 19's as you did

It's all about the weight of the wheels. If you find a lightweight wheel, you won't give up any performance going 20s versus 19s. My car saw a huge improvement in performance, ride and acceleration just dropping about 10 pounds per corner of unsprung rotational mass with the wheel/tire combo, and then at least another 5 pounds per corner with the lighter Wilwood brakes, and then another 5-8 pounds per corner with the Airlift suspension components.
The car feels super light on its feet now.
If you want to go back to a square setup, I'd do something like a 20x9.5 all around and 275/35/20 or 19x9.5 all around and 275/40/19. Find wheels that are as light as possible and you'll be fine
