Cosmetically MAYBE some stripes in matt or a silver/grey metallic.

Then again, I enjoy it just the way it is. So Who knows?
Love the grey mettalic stripes idea
Totally agree on the stock stereo for a car with a premium interior that rivals a bmw's in fit&finish the audio setups leave a LOT to be desired from the factory
Awesome on the springs&struts, what exhaust do you think you'll do? How about the pypes super system 3" exhaust? Currently on sale direct from the manufacture http://www.pypesexhaust.com/sys-mustang2.html
for only $475 can't beat that for a full 3" mandrel bent exhaust setup w/beautiful 4" polished slash cut resonated double wall tips

Thanks to everyone for all of the positive comments. It's such a great car, I try to be careful not to over do it!!!

As per exhaust, I already have the svt axle back. I was thinking of ditching the cats and and going x-pipe. My 2005 gt had slp loudmouths and while they were sexy as hell, I tended to wake up the neighborhood. So I want to avoid that.

Who can say, today I was reading all about the STEEDA Boss intake set-up. Maybe that is where I can pick up a few hp... There are so many options and I want to be careful.

Awesome name for your car! I really wanted to be able to order my car in Highland Green, just because of the car used in the Spenser: For Hire TV series, but I ended up with Kona Blue like you did.

Thanks! I actually bought a 66 fastback because of the series. That said, the books are infinitely better than the show.

Beautiful car. Those SHR louvers look best on Kona Blue IMO anyway. I think it looks great as is, no stripes.

Eric your car looks great. Too bad nobody is making the BBP wheels in a 10" for the back. Those are my favorite wheels on a 5 DOT 0.

I'm not a huge fan of the side louvers but they look so good on his car I might have to get a set. How's the visibility out of them from the drivers position? Can you see anything?

Visibility is fantastic. That was one of my concerns as well, but several of the guys on here had given them fantastic reviews. I think the stock windows are nice looking, but a little plain.

I love the books Valediction, Small Vices & Looking for Rachel Wallace, being some of my favorites. I haven't picked up Painted Ladies, yet. I hate to think about the series coming to an end, plus all my expendable cash has been going into my Mustang fund.

I have everything Parker has written almost exclusively in hardback. With Parker passing, I feel like I'm losing several friends, Parker himself, and his amazing cast of characters. I've read many other alpha males with a code, but none come close to Parker's work when it comes to dialog and relationships.
