Help & advice needed before I pull the trigger!

G'day all, - please remember i'm from the UK!

Ready for me to order a few bits for my SGT...just before I do I wanted any negative or positive comments please... as it’s not like I can pop the items back once in the UK...

2 X 20x9 Gunmetal Razors & 2 x 20x10 (without tires! )
Do I need the lug nuts or will my Shelby one be ok? Chrome? Lockable? $45?
I was going to go for the full TPMS kit at $200 to save any hassle with the lights on the dash etc...

MMD Retro mirrors (very similar to Agent 47)? any have?

Smoked rear quarter marker side reflectors

That’s it from American Muscle...

From Shelbystore.com i’m ready to pull the trigger on:-
Shelby billet fuel door (black) along with Shelby Hood pins (i have ones but they look battered & could do with changing)
Shelby lettering ready for when I get the strips painted on!!! yes gonna do it!
Shelby GT Billet under bonnet dress up kit (when they get stock)

GT500 steering wheel - the cheaper option with Alcantara suede & leather. $278

Already got AutoArt clear front indicator lenses....(E-bay UK - £58)

Stubby aerial & maybe tint the quarter panels & rear window (i won't be using at night)

That’s about it (for now)...I welcome your comments!

Any other good buying sites? I've already looked at mustangsunlimited...

Cheers Guys

Perfect choice

Probably worth getting some nice shiny new ones.

I was going to go for the full TPMS kit at $200 to save any hassle with the lights on the dash etc...
Worth it for the lack of hassle

MMD Retro mirrors (very similar to Agent 47)? any have?
Those look nice!

Smoked rear quarter marker side reflectors
Never been too fussed about these

That’s it from American Muscle...

From Shelbystore.com i’m ready to pull the trigger on:-
Shelby billet fuel door (black) along with Shelby Hood pins (i have ones but they look battered & could do with changing)
Never been a fan of the billet fuel door, but new hood pins will be worth it.

Shelby lettering ready for when I get the strips painted on!!! yes gonna do it!
Sometimes less it more

Shelby GT Billet under bonnet dress up kit (when they get stock)
Expensive......but nice.....so long as you keep the engine bay spotless!

GT500 steering wheel - the cheaper option with Alcantara suede & leather. $278
Nice.....but expensive. Personally, I don't think it's worth the money.

Already got AutoArt clear front indicator lenses....(E-bay UK - £58)
A must! Yes, I have them

Stubby aerial & maybe tint the quarter panels & rear window (i won't be using at night)
Stubby aerial - yes
Tint the rear windows? Never felt it necessary....especially on a black car.

That’s about it (for now)...I welcome your comments!

This is an awesome build list! The Shelby Razor wheels look awesome, especially in Gunmetal in a 20" Rim! You could probably get away with using your old lug nuts, but I would recommend throwing a set of ours in there. They're much lower profile so they fit better and they look great with your brand new wheels! If you don't want a TPMS light, then definitely go with the TPMS kit with your wheels. We can install them for free, when we mount and balance your wheels (also for free)!

MMD Mirrors and Smoked side markers will look awesome as well! I think you've put together a really good list. Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.
