I have nothing better to do than watch tv on one monitor, and troll TMS on the other.

We should slap on a set of those MRR on your car!

You can powdercoat it blue as well

I figured I'd update this thread. Rims and tires arrived! Even more gorgeous in person. Also, having 20" rims and 305 tires in the middle of the living room makes it look HUGE. Lol. I made my son show how it's wider than his body

I'll try to mount these this weekend just for a photo op, then remove.

Sweet!!! Can't wait until Saturday when I can clean/seal mine up!!! You should paint the logo in the center caps black... That will be my first mod...

^ thankfully it was an optical illusion

Pardon the messy garage, and the in-garage pics. It was snowing and crappy out, so I didn't want to back her out onto the driveway. Also, in the winter, I'm just not in the mood to clean in amidst the cold, and all the salt/mud/crud the daily driver cars bring in. I hate winter.

Overall, I love the setup I chose. Am very happy. Wish I could drive her instead of waiting 4 more months.


It makes the stock brembos look not that appealing…



Let's start with the finished product




Series of close up of rears, to show stance and fit… love it.














Now the fronts… including stance, and how they clear the brembos








Then I took a shot with the flash… I liked the dark theme…

Zto5 that looks awesome.

Somebody should have started a over/under thread on how long "I don't want to flatspot the soft rubber" was going to last. I know I would not have been able to hold out this long.

Thanks buddy!!! Do we have the same first name??? Lol. If so, what are the odds we both own mustangs on same forum haha!

As for the rims/tires, I already removed them and they are back to stock brembos for another 4 months until spring is here and the roads are clear... *sigh*.

Yea she looks pretty d*** good man. Definitely gonna stand out from the rest. Any plans to paint your Brembos? I thought about painting the ones I just picked up DIB but I think it may be a bit much.

Thanks Darren! Amazing how rims change a car. Yeah that's alright about the winter hibernation. It keeps miles low and makes me thoroughly enjoy her more come spring.

Ok who am I kidding... It SUCKS!!!

Thanks AJ. Luckily stangs esp 5.0s are pretty rare where I'm at. So hopefully not many clones.

No plans to paint brembos. I like them subdued gray. You got a brembo kit for yours? Very nice!

Gonna look sexy when spring rolls around! Are you planning on sealing the rims? I plan on doing Opti-Seal then a coat of Collinite #845. Should make cleaning easier. I am also putting on near Slotted/drilled rotors with ceramic pads as well.
