Yes, Rick, very nice.

Now, another view of the "MG-emulation" details:



Too bad the B/W MG pic doesn't show the under-fenders.

They are the stock GT brakes painted with G2USA.com epoxy in the Mustang color Torch Red. I didn't do the silver bracket part because they looked so good and shiny the way they were.

The "GT/CS" is a decal from an online seller whose name I have misplaced.

I don't think there is an actual Shelby Terlingua Mustang in red. It would certainly be a great addition to the herd. Or remuda, I guess it would be.

The fender liners were pretty easy to remove and replace, so I painted them with Plasti-dip red. That stuff doesn't work like real paint: it took a full rattle can for each corner; I actually painted the viewable parts of the rear fender wells.

Plasti-dip is supposed to be easy to peel off if you don't like it. There are a number of online how-to videos for using Plasti-dip, even on wheels, or just the rings around the edge. I've heard of some people spraying the clear on for protection on road trips. Far as I have been able to determine, there are just the four choices: black (pretty available locally), white, red, and clear. If it's not in your local Home Depot or Lowes, eBaY has plenty, but you have to wait a bit.

I have to be candid: when I had that MG - shiny black with red under-fenders - I loved it. Since I made the changes to this Mustang I'm starting to have some of the same feelings. I know that "love" doesn't really fit with inanimate objects, but there you are!

Yeah I was in love with the idea of red styled terlingua. What's remuda? And do you have any pictures of the car standing back so we can see the fender wells?? That's such a cool idea!

This is the only one, so far. You get a hint when viewing it on the black background. (click the displayed pic)

Looks great, Javdog. Do you have any measurements as to how much it is lowered in the pics?

Rick buddy, this is the scoop on the plate, I unfortuently park my car on the street because it will not go into the garage be3cause it was too low and my driveway is very steep and their is a cop that knows I take it off and some how he manages to give me a ticket, but now that I have the air bags I can drive it into the gagrage which means my car will NO longer be parked on the street so that ugly plate will be coming off. so the next set of pictures will be with the plate OFF, haha believe me I hate it also

Thanks, is it the kit with the "pancake" or "cylindrical" tank? By any chance do you have any pictures of the tank installed location?
