Roush or Boss 302 CLONE on a 14 GT?
Hey guys,
Been debating for a little while what to do with my GT. Boss centre and side stripes?
Or Roush parts?
My main goals for the car:
-Daily/weekend driver. Less than 5000/6000 Kms a year.
-More appearance oriented right now versus speed. (Cost and time constraints)
-Drag strip less than twice a year just for fun
Main upgrades regardless of above choice: Vossen or Forgestar CF10's or the F14 Monoblock rims.
-GT500 exhaust with Boss side exit pipe and QTP electronic cutouts.
-Roush or MMD hood scoop.
-Roush or Cervinis blackout upper/lower grille.
-Lowered 1-2"
I know they don't make the boss 302 for 2014 so I thought that would kinda neat, even though it's cheating a little.
I'm not trying to pass the car off as something it's not, and I'm not a"brand-name *****". This is strictly for looks.
Might Roushcharge stage 1, the engine in the next 2-3 years while I have a little warranty left but that shouldn't affect my stripe choice for right now.
It already has the Roush badges instead if the 5.0, but I can remove those.
What else? 6spd. A blast to drive. Just want a little extra... Eye candy
Suggestions, comments, hatemail welcome!
Thanks a lot for reading this redundant thread!
Regards,
Joey.K

Sadly, I already did remove the 5.0 badges and added the roush badges. I LOVE the boss stripes on the GHIG mustang, but not loving it on the grabber blue. Maybe it's the choice of wheels that I've seen on those. If I go with the Boss I'll remove the roush badges

Boss stripes look good, just don't use the BOSS logo so people don't think you are trying to pass it off as a real one.
And there are companies that do those stripes in lots of colors, so don't think that you are stuck with only black.

Everytime I see a GHIG roush or Boss, it looks amazing. Then when I see it in GB I think, not so much. Maybe it's just me.

In all honesty,....I LOVE the Grabber Blue and I don't think that there were many made as Roush cars. Even less than the GHIG if I am correct.

Part of me is torn between dual 10" stripes,
Super snake stripes, or the boss centre and side stripes.
Definitely getting the boss side exit exhaust. Maybe pair it with the GT500 axle back.

Nice looking GT! Grabber blue was actually my first color choice for my 13' until I saw the GHIG. I'm looking at some similar appearance mod questions for my car in the future and think I've narrowed it down to adding Roush front and side splitters with the Boss or GT500 quad rear valence.
