I've gotten a lot of positive compliments, some people arn't all for it but doesn't bother me. The good thing is its a vinyl stripe so i can just peel it off.

Also Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

the green accent stripes aren't my thing, but the car looks great! Love the wheels. What kind of wheels are they?

um its really noticeable, i dont do a lot of night driving yet so its not that much of a big deal to me. But i might take them off for winter as it gets dark real early.

Come spring i just might switch to raxiom headlights or something.

Figured I would bring this thread up from the dead. I've been doing some "spring cleaning" to the mustang since winter is officially done. Put my summer rims back on, checked to make sure everything was okay with the suspension and checked brake pads.

Today put the new gt500 spoiler on and re-striped the backend of the car as some of the lemans stripes took a beating this winter. Put my head light covers back on. I know its worthless without pictures I took some before, but still have some work that needs to be done to take after pictures.


Main reason I'm updating this is I had planned on selling this off towards the end of the summer, paying off the rest of the loan and putting the rest towards a 2015 GT. But today while gathering stuff to continue work on the pony I had to stop for a second and take in what i have turned what i own now into. Which made me start thinking that I dont really need a 2015 and i should keep my 2011 untill the load is paid off. BUTTTTTTT upon keeping my 2011... I will be adding a supercharger to it because if 412hp is awesome 600hp must be awesomer right?

I know its pretty useless without pics right now :/ Sorryyyyy
