I am making my Mustang just like i would order one given the opportunity by Ford. Next up is the Brembo brakes and the Boss intake.
Here are my dad's two Bosses. I do know what a real Boss looks like...

Looks good but you should have gotten the stripes with just 302 on them. Boss is a performance mod not a stripe mod. You cant make your GT/CS a boss unless you change engine and suspension so putting Boss on it is a cheesy move. Real Stang lovers wouldnt put Boss on there Stang unless it is a Boss. High standards your car can never live up too. I changed my GT/CS too so change is ok just dont try to make it something it can never be thats all.

I think you should make a Shelby Boss 302 Mach 1 Roush Saleen, and make everyone hate you. 
Besides the appearance stuff and some suspension changes, what makes a Boss a Boss? It's kinda like the Shelby GTS cars. They're actually just Mustangs with some appearance stuff on 'em. How are they any more of a Shelby than any other Mustang rolling down the street?

Jsimmons i assume you never saw the special on cable about the Boss 302(look it up very interesting) and sorry but by saying that about the Boss 302 you showed that your just a Mustang owner not a Mustang enthusiast. The time put in to development for that car was unreal. And that car is as FAR from a apperance ackage as you can get. The Boss 302 name on a mustang is as high regard as you can get to us real Mustang fanatics.
