Curious.... why flat black? Are you going to do that to the roof and trunk also?

Not my cup of tea but it's isn't my car, but why 4 hood pins?

I think the flat one the hood adds a racing feel, im not going to do the roof or the trunk.

This hood only weights like 10-15 pounds its so light, it bends very easy, its a pure carbon fiber hood. So on the highway or on the track, the wind can easily lift up or bent the hood, the 4 hood pins hold it down in place.

I think the combination Looks GREAT. Noticed the new wheels as well which beef up the stance, What a Looker.

Question: Are you going to keep the original wheels? If not please let me now cause I may be interested.

Why put the Steeda wing on, the LS wing is pretty big too?

It's not the size of the spoiler, it's the aggressiveness of it. I like the contours of the Steeda wing, and the fact how the ends don't touch the trunk being more pronounced is what is drawing me to it. Looks more race oriented:chirp:
I'm gonna buy another trunk lid to mount the Steeda to, so I can keep the original as is.

MBarrette10 9/2/12 01:56 AM

I like it a lot

908ssp 9/2/12 08:57 AM

SilverSkoundrel 9/2/12 09:10 AM

Ahh i see, yes you are right it is difference in that way. I also own a black LS, i like the steeda one more. Buying another trunk to keep your trunk original is a smart idea, because the ls spoiler has 4 pedestals, while the steeda has two. Even on my GT with the small, long spoiler they had to fill some holes and paint over it that the stock spoiler had left on the trunk. Maybe when the car finally comes home i can take picture of it next to its brother the black ls too, haha:heh:

They are made by Avant Garde, and they are the M310. Btw they fit perfectly in in the well and do no stick out at all, these rims were made around the mustang to fit the perfect offset for the mustang with still being very aggressive.
