275s are wide! I can't imagine 305 or 315 on the rear.

New tires are here. Now I should wait until the pzeros are more useless than they are now lol.

Ok I could not wait any longer. New tires on the new wheels. They still need cleaning up but they look great now!

Automatic 5.0 4/3/14 08:25 PM

That looks fantastic! Great choice in wheels!

Thank you!

Maybe this will be it for mods! lol. I don't think there is anything it really 'needs'.

They look great. How wide are the rims?

9" rims all around. I'm looking for a 10" version but I don't think they make it. There was a listing for a Boss LS with 9"/10" wheels with the Charcoal Grey like these, I thought it was an error though.

The LS comes with 10" rears, but I don't think FRPP sells the gray ones in 19x10, only black. I could be wrong though.

If I were you, I'd paint the calipers black and add some slotted rotors (and the GT500 rear 13" rotor kit from Rehagen Racing). Or just get their 14" front takeoff kit!

Did you tint using AM's vinyl tinting or another method? I ordered the AM vinyl tint for the front and rear markers and installed exactly as the directions said. I even avoided driving the car for more than 48 hours after installation to ensure they began to set. 3 days after that (so 5 total days) and the vinyl wrinkled in 2 places on one of the rear markers. The directions say to be patient with imperfections because as it cures, the material fixes itself to an extent. Well its been 2 weeks since the install and I still have the wrinkles. Have you had any issues? Or has anyone else noticed issues with the vinyl tint from AM?

I forgot about the Nav update I did. DNX891HD Kenwood unit.

I was always kinda upset I didn't get the Nav package. But I'm glad I didn't because this setup is fam dam tastic.

My latest oil report at my 3rd oil change.

The last oil was run on The Tail of the Dragon for at least 6 high speed passes. I was swinging 5-6K RPM for most of it.

The 5.0 is a beast.

This car is so sweet!!! It has everything I would have done to a new 5.0. Your taste in mods is spot on! What is it lowered on? P springs? Just a shot in the dark since everything else is ford racing.

Is this car a brembo package or not? In some pictures it is and some it's not. I feel like there's two different cars being posted.

Yep is a few cars posted I think. Maybe just mine and one other.

Mine is not a Brembo car or a track pack. I'll slowly add the track pack items that I'm missing, larger rad, oil cooler, rear diff cover etc.

Yes P Springs in the FR3A adjustable setup. Its a perfect drop for me. I don't crape to much lol.

Just about everything I wanted to do to it is done.

06blackvertstang 6/5/14 04:19 PM

It is sweet man. Congrats on such a great lookin car
