My 2010 GT
Hey Guys,
So I got mine back in Sept of '09 and never posted any pics! So here's a few with it after I had all of the exterior mods to date done. (I may get a few others done come spring time but we'll see how the mood strikes!). I put the before and after of the rear just to give you an idea of what it does. If you notice tho, the tail lights have the reverse lights left untinted. I went with a light-medium painted tint (just to tone down the red look - not black it out, and to me, it flows a lot better!) the reason i chose to paint it is for a much more of a gloss finish, as opposed to a flat finish of what vinyl films give. But, see sig for description...
Nothing beats the black stangs!!

Thanks you guys for all the kind words. 
I had the tinting done on the rear, 3rd brake light, quarter panel, and front turns for $300 even. including labor. Was actually a very fair deal. And the worksmanship was great! There's no way I'd trust my own hand!!
I am adding a few minor enhancements this weekend hopefully, namely the LED reverse light (pics below), LED license plate light on the rear (not in the pic), and also interior LED Dome lights... Just to spruce it up and give it a much more crisp look when those are in use. And yes, I've been debating to do a light tint on the fogs as well...
probably just a vinyl film or cover... we shall see!
Thanks again!

I've been eye-molesting these pics multiple times a day since you posted them... I'm in love! And can't wait to get my black 5.0! I love the blacked out look, so yours is very in line with what I want to have done to mine already.

Here's my winter setup of 17" Elbrus I06 wheel with corresponding xice xi2 tires.
Plus I think it's the first 2010+ GT with 17's?!?
EDIT: Pic links...

Thanks! I was pretty happy with how the combo transferred from paper to actuality. 
I'll have them on from Dec-March or so... then once my stock all seasons are done, I'll probably invest in a good summer performance tire. 
So that's sortta on my back burner to research... still got a while tho.

Tinted Fogs- Light 50%
Just did these like 30 min ago, came out pretty good.
Bought them here: http://www.headlightarmor.com/ford-lighting-kits.aspx
I didn't want to black them out, just tone the Fog housing down a little bit. It's more subtle, maybe I could have done 30% but I it would cut down on the light that comes out, and I use them a lot!
They're a 50% tint, and they do 30% and 20%.
With shipping ($5 USPS) it was $23.50. Not bad.
So just for reference in case anyone else is looking into it, a few pics:

So over the course of the month I bought the Borla Stingers (# 11777) which have been awesome! Love the low tone it gives (as opposed to the choppy tractor sound others like- which is cool just not for me). The wider 4" tips are a good touch as well. And there's def. a performance boost from a 'seat of the pants' feel as they're 20-25lbs lighter and offer a much better air flow. (I'll get some pics up soon...)
And like 10 min ago I bought the Steeda CAI and a BBK TB all through Breenspeed.
So I'm pumped to get that and install those.
The next things I might be considering are the GT500 rear valance and CDC chin... we shall see!

I just installed the TB. Pretty good product. The increased response time is nice and there is some power gain from what I can feel. So i'm happy with it.
Still waiting on the Steeda CAI & tuner.
Here's the exhaust pics:
