And yes, my vert bar does have the light. Which now reminds me that as with Bob, I really like the light tint on your tail lights. Think that will be my first winter mod.

 

Looks GREAT Doug. Those GT500 wheels look really good on Alloy. Might be worth throwing on that V6 rear spoiler.
IMHO Alloy is the best color for a vert.

 

i finally went the other way. i special ordered my car without a spoiler, but recently installed the CDC ducktail. imo, it looks much nicer now.

i love convertibles. i miss having one. hopefully one day ford will come out with a hardtop convertible option.

 

The CDC ducktail is my favorite spoiler, but with the existing trunk holes, not something I want to mess with right now. Hindsight is always clearer as I should have ordered mine spoilerless as well... but I was a bit quick on the buying decision and bought the first one I test drove, then started doing more research later.


Yeah Bob, I may just do another testing fitting/shots with the V6 spoiler bolted on just to see how it looks with the new wheels.

 

I'm the same way, mine is a spoiler delete, but I'm going to spring for a ducktail soon.

 

i did some updating to my car since the last time. https://themustangsource.com/f728/al...5/#post5471301

hmm... actually my car looks quite different since then. one thing i am bummed about is that i had to raise my car's height back up because the turbo was scraping the driveways. it is starting to slowly get away from my original vision of making it a 1966 gt clone. i had to take off the rear "GT" faux gas cap emblem because it was getting all corroded.

anyways, here is how it looks today:



diamond head in the background.


repping silverhorse racing. most of my stuff from them is in the interior. i used the v6 grille to go with my '66 theme.

i was trying to make the shaker functional. i guess it will do for now, but i gonna try and think of something else. oh yeah, and i know the carbon fiber radiator cover is kind of ricey, but at least it is close to alloy in color. besides, my car feels quicker now with the weight i was able to shave off.

reproductions of the original '66 GT and "m-u-s-t-a-n-g" emblem. side stripes to original dimensions. 65-66 center caps.

 

hey red jay, your car is sweet looking. ive got a 2008 stang gt, alloy grey of course, hope to get some pics up soon. i am a new member so just getting started.

 

Gary, nice job on your car. I like the way the fender emblems match the centercaps. The color of your wheels look great with alloy also.

 

Took some new photo's of our 07 alloy this spring.

 

obofglob, thanks for the compliments. i was under the understanding the vintage center caps wouldn't fit, but the scott drake version screwed right on with no problem.

since those pics, i got blue valve covers with the laser etched "ford racing" logo. really helps add some interest to the engine bay.

i love your intake and the aluminum reservoirs. i thought about doing it, but chickened out since i thought it would be too hard to monitor the fluids. yeah, wimp.

 

Bought some GT 500 style chrome rims a couple of weeks ago, to replace the polished stock 18 inch bullitts'.

These are 18 X 9.5 with the correct offset and backspacing for the Brembo brake upgrade that I expect to do later this year.

BF Goodrich KDW II's 255/45/18

It was cold an rainy day when I took the photos....so they were taken in my shop.

 

Put a smoked third brake light on. IMHO smoked lenses go well with alloy.
Thinking about a 35% tint all the way around.

 

I have a Satin Silver with painted Alloy stripes, am I welcome in here or what?

 

Car looks great! 35% is what I run with a 15% sun stripe.

 

THANKS !

 

Very nice Alloy cars and Doug nice improvements.

 

Thanks Rich! I am hopefully done changing things for a while and plan to just enjoy it.

 

Put some American Muscle smoked tail lights on. Hopefully I am also done messing around, at least for this year.

Besides we picked up a 2012 Focus and I have already started modding it.

 

Bob, I think you need to get your windows tinted this year. The tail lights are a nice addition and appear to have the perfect tint.

 

Thanks Rich ! and I forgot about the windows, well maybe one more mod and I will be done for the year.
