What do you guys think of this GT/CS badge mod?
Not really stick-ons just options but I respect your opinion. I personally think the Brembo wheels are ugly and prefer the CS wheels. I know this is the car I want because when I saw it in person it looked fantastic. But some people are minimalists and I can understand that.
I live in an area where black BMW's, Beige Lexi, and gray Infinities are all you see. I have to cut myself to see some color around here. I think the Race Red CS will stand out from the crowd and proudly say, screw you rich *** holes.

Also see Stinger1982's Grabber blue w/RTR wheels, another great example.
Hell, just the Brembo car is jaw dropping enough for me. I will have to agree with Overboost, the CS is the worst looking package I have seen on a Mustang. That said, it is my opinion, my opinion also says that the video's I've seen with the CS in them are not so bad, so you know what, if the CS is the option you like, killer! Flaunt it! The rear diffuser is much nicer. Just don't put the 5.0 emblems on it though. The BOSS will have some stripes on it, most will dig it.
Its your car so do what you want. You paid for it and thats the bottom line.
But, let me give you an example. I have a Mach 1 and lots of people put the cobra jet emblem on the shaker. More power to them. To me, its rice. It aint no cobra jet and never was. I dont like it one bit. But, they paid for the car and do as they like. I am a purist I guess and a old fart to boot.
Keep it simple man. Bling to me is not cool. I like the sleeper types but that is just me.
The CS looks very nice to me in stock trim. Its not my cup of tea but it is a nice package as is. Just my opinion.

Actually, I think you guys may be on to something with the 5.0 script in the stripes. However, I would make it so it only says 5.0, instead of 5.0 CS. I think that would look pretty trick if it was in the same font as the GT/CS.
Isn't the reason most of us buy a GT is to modify them and make our own! Never ceases to amaze me the negative input some people try to impose on others that if they don't like something such as scoops or spoilers that no one else should! So here is my chop kind of like it myself!
The GT500 rear bumper, carbon fiber dash, and front splitter type fascia are my fav's.
Not to mention the billet grille, embroidered seats, free car cover, lower fog lights, one of a kind 19" wheels w/ strut tower brace, pedestal spoiler and side scoops.
Well worth the $1995.00 if you ask me.
Fake carbon fiber = rice IMO.
The CF inserts on the seats is just for some contrast, I'd rather have a true two-tone seat.
The GT500 rear splitter and front lower fascia are only $400 from the dealer. Not a huge deal. The wheels are the same as the V6 PP wheels, just different paint and engraved GT on one spoke. Hardly unique.

I agree for the most part, although I'm content with the fake carbon fiber. I like everything on the CS besides the spoiler and wheels(stripes are a bit odd but "ok"). If I bought an 2011 CS, the spoiler immediately would be replaced with a GT500 variant. The wheels are ok in general design but the GT engraving negatively accents them. If I were to swap them out, I'd strongly consider a wheel design that looks similar to Stinger's RTR wheels.

Don't get me wrong, I like the front/rear bumpers, but all the other stuff is negligible to me. I plan on running them with the brake cooling as soon as the kit is available. I'll have the splitters before I have the car.
I think you need to abandon this idea.
