My Baby Turns Two Today!

Hard to believe it has been two years and nearly 40K miles but today marks the 2nd Anniversary of bringing the baby home! Time flies when you are having fun There have been a ton of changes but I am happy to say she turned into a beauty from the ugly duckling base trim

Looks great. Ever thought about the billet radio display trim ring, trunk release surround, and radio surround rings?

The would look great with what you have inside.

Thank you All The before an after pics do not say it all LOL! The original rally hood stripes which went from the hood to the rear valance did not hold up but that opened the door to the decklid panel and the painted unique hood stripe. I feel like I have owned three cars with this one
Not sure where Year 3 will take us regarding mods but, I have my order in for the leather/alcantra/white stitch console cover which will look great with the GT500 steering wheel.

Getportfolio, I was considering them and they look good in pictures but the ones I've seen in person seem to jump out more than I would like. Still possible though - how do you like your?

I was worried about the accent pieces looking too blingy but once applied, the look and feel like they have always been there. Especially the radio trim rings. I'm very conservative in my interior but they really compliment the new wheel and leather seats. It's when you go over board, chroming everything...that kills it.

I have since bought the chrome headlight ****.
The quality is very good also.

Having a birthday for a car is a little much, but the true birthday isn't the day you bring it home, it's the day someone drives it off the production line.

We all celebrate life in our own way This car has brought me a lot of great times so far. Like my fortune cookie read about a month before I bought her "Something on four wheels will soon be a fun investment for you!" I think this proves we make our own fortunes! To set your mind and ease, I celebrated with tall micro brew at a place call "Rough-Draft"

Hey sterlingstangman, please tell me how you did your gray side panels on your ride with the mustang tricolor emblem. It looks good and want to do it on my gray stang too.

I would say to pull it off, put the stripes on and then put new take on it and reapply.
BTW, How is the repairs going?
