After someone bumped into the front of the car in my work parking garage (crease on hood, scuff on front fascia, no note left - ugh), I had to get a repaint done, resulting in the hood decal being redone, I had a copy of the ProMotorSports decal made, which brought the shape closer to the Ford design for the 2012 Boss 302.

I also had the front rotors swapped for the larger 2011+ GT version, got the calipers repainted to silver, replaced pads for both front and back, and replaced the rear rotors. That was overkill on the brakes, as I had 50% of my pads left after 57,800 miles of street driving.

Since it is unlikely this car will see anything other than street driving and maybe an autocross or two, I don't expect to need brake maintenance for a long time.

Looks GREAT ! Love the black accents with Sterling. Wheels came out very nice as did the silver calipers, stripes etc. Your car looks very clean, very nicely done.

Are you going to Mustang Alley this year ? 453 cars already registered in a little over one week.

Thanks for your comments. I do plan to be there. Yikes, I just registered my 2010 under "The Mustang Source" because 453 cars out 585 spots is amazingly full already!

You going to be there?

Love the boss C stripe and hood style without boss lettering, looks great and that's the way to customize using inspiration without copycating. well done, awesome ride.

Thanks for the recognition. I did indeed not want to put the "Boss" or "302" labels anywhere or use "Boss 281"...false advertising there

Beautiful job! No doubt that the gloss black and sterling gray killer.
Just a suggestion, tinting the taillights would really blend in the decklid black.

Thanks for your suggestion. I considered it but thought it would be a bit too much black in back. Or is that back in black?
