Looks great 13TrackPack! Do you think you could take a full picture of the rear of the vehicle? I'd like to see how the stripes look since im considering getting the 10' stripes installed on my car. Also, did you install yourself or did your dealer do that for you?

Those black stripes look awesome with that red. Time to change your avatar.

Looking better and better

How long are you intending to keep this one? Surely it's time to order the '14MY isn't it?

Looks great, with the racing stripes and side stripes on the 13 make it look GT500ish. Any plans for wheels?

I have a pic of the rear I'll try to throw up in this thread later. I took the stripes to a local body shop I trust. I definitely wasn't going to do them myself... that'd be a royal pain! I also don't like dealership shops for some odd reason.

Meh, I'll give this one a few more months.

No plans for wheels any time soon. Maybe after my engine and exhaust work and the car is basically finished I'll buy it a new pair of shoes. I like the stock rims on it for right now. Any suggestions on 19s that'll clear the Brembos?

I had to put those on aftermarket. Bought them from American Muscle:

P.S. If anyone wants a Boss 302 Intake Manifold I have an extra I'll sell for $450 (that includes shipping!).

How is the ride with the new suspension mods. Did you so struts as well or just springs?

I say go for some 19" GT500 style. Black of coarse, and staggered. I think they would fit your car perfectly!!

I was thinking of GT500 wheels, but geez, between the '13 redesign and the stripes I don't want to look like I'm just completely copying the Cobra look.

Oh hell with it... I am!

Just springs and bars for right now. If you look at the new GT shocks and struts they're actually pretty decent... unlike the springs Ford puts on. I will likely change them later, but springs and anti-roll/sway bars were all that I needed right now.

I took one hell of a tight turn off a freeway going 85mph the day after I did the suspension work and this car STICKS! For reference, the speed limit for the exit was around 35 or 40 mph.
