Fresh Pics, Latest Mods - Grabber Blue & Black Work Well Together!

Thought I'd share a few pics I shot tonight of my 2012 GB coupe, on the heels of my latest mods. Please pardon the bugs on the front bumper, and the lack of resolution - I used my "Dumb-Phone" camera.
- Steeda Ultralite springs, Steeda adjustable panhard bar
- Koni Str.T struts/shocks, GT500 strut mounts
- Virginia-legal Window tint.
- Black 5.0 fender emblems from Blue Oval Industries
- Taillight section magnetic blackout trim (fit isn't the best but it'll hold me for now)
- Has about 1600 miles on her now. Still looking for that "perfect" set of charcoal/black wheels with polished or red-striped lip. And a GT500 rear spoiler...

The Craig's Custom Bracket makes such things possible, albeit temporarily.

Don't want to rub it in, but we don't need them here.... Such a bummer for those that need them, that thing can ruin the front of a car...

Have you thought about the '10 GT Mustang emblem which is black instead of silver?

Beautiful , clean and mean....... now we have to get that front blacked out with some fog tints and the 2010 black pony emblem. Partscheap.com for emblem. stangmods.com for tints. Let me know if you need any more help spending your money. LOL!

Definitely like the look so far. Needs a bigger wheel and the black pony up front.

Keep it OEM and go Shelby PP 19s all around! Looks good so far. I'd do the fog light and sidemarker tint, Boss fascias front and rear, and black vinyl the roof.

I like it too. Now you just have to do the hood, doors, side panels, front and rear quarter panels, and front and rear bumpers and you will have a perfect black car.

The combination really looks great Eric. I'm not a big fan of smoked lights but the front pony and maybe the rear medallion getting blacked out would really finish it out nice -- with wheels coming in the future.

I actually preferred the 2011+ chrome emblem until I got into this black trim kick.

Thank you, and so true! But I need my fogs, living near the river and driving through woods filled with deer. Not sure how to achieve a tint look while retaining functionality. Any ideas?

Thanks! That's part of the fun - something to look forward to! Would look gr8 with your shaker.

Thank you. Totally agree re the wheels, but I like the fact that my current tires are so cheap compared to 19's.

All great ideas. My wife likes the plain black air dam, thinks the boss front is too "busy". Considering I can go with the black air dam for $200, the cost differential makes me like it.

I like how you think, sir!

Oh so totally true!! My wheel short list is:
- RTRs (charcoal of course)
- Brembo wheels
- SVT (19")
- Something like the RTR design but with a red striped rim or a polished rim/lip.
- I am even considering the 18" SVTs for the pure economy of the stock size tires.

Jason you should just get the new 300C SRT8 wheels. I think they'd look sick on a 2010+...

Those bastards stole the black chrome idea!! LOL

Those wheels are nice, but if I had the cash I'd rock the Saleen Dark Horse wheels or the powdercoat the GT500s
