Thanks!
I haven't installed it, yet. I got it from American Muscle "Pre-Painted". Seemed like the best deal, to me. I also don't care if they painted the gurney flap as I plan to take a little bit of 3M film to a few places on my car, anyway.

After seeing the pictures of the wing on your car I just ordered the GT500 wing from American Muscle. I got it unpainted. Seeing that my car is at the body shop and they have to paint the rear anyway I figured I might as well do it now. Your right about American Muscle being the best deal. I got lucky with a slight discount so it came out to be under 190 unpainted. Plus it looks like a perfect match to the OEM or at least I don't see any real difference.

So, after trading the Mustang back for my old car(not for reasons of power) I got another Stang. I missed having one pretty much right after trading it in. I had to get ready to buy a house, so that's why it took so long to get another one. It doesn't have a the Brembos, but I'm about to cop a set off a Boss.
Here are the pics of my new one after slaving over it for hours. I'll post more later.
Pretty much the same plans, little bit different. I'm going to order wheels and some other goodies this week.

I treat the lights the same as I do my paint.
Claybar
Then I used a PorterCable Buffer using a finishing pad with Chemical Guys Jetseal109 and their 50/50 paste wax. It is now protected from the sun and elements for 6-8 months with regular washing and care. I've also reduced the likelihood of swirls and scratches.

Nice man! We'll be rockin' a similar garage when my car gets here. Explorer XLT 202a platinum white and my '14 SGM prem track pack! Wohoo!
-oh and your detail looks great, I'm a big fan of CG's stuff.

I had the brembo pack before, but my car is going to get there soon enough. I am picking up some Brembos off a Boss that are pretty much new as well as the wheels. I also ordered exhaust, front lip and some springs for now. I'll do the rest of the suspension when I get back from deployment. I'll probably be adding a blower as well.

Yeah, the wife has the Limited and its super nice. We even used that park assist and it was insane watching an SUV park itself. The lane keeper feature, blind-spot light and all those other fancy gadgets are pretty neat as well. Perfect for a woman

Put on the Corsa exhaust, the Roush Lip and the Eibach Sportlines this weekend.
Of course, the Corsa sounds amazing as always.
The lip looks great, and is a little different than what most are going with. I like it a lot.
The springs are just temporary as I'll be getting struts, sways, control arms and all that other fun stuff eventually over time. I'm impressed with how the springs made the car feel. There's hardly any body roll, it rides nice on the road, and the dip and settle under braking is nearly gone as well.
Brembos should be here in soon, and the Brembo wheels should be here next week. I meant brembo, not Boss before lol.
Here are some pics I took today.
**** sun, forgot my hood.

I like that front lip, is it a Ford piece or aftermarket ? Care to share where you purchased it?
Also, the car looks great!! I have a '14 Sterling Gray on order....
