Updates to my Boss 302

Made a few changes to the car over the last month. Seems like every time I do something with this car I have to do it twice. Ordered some Forgestar F14's but they were damaged in shipping, so picked up these 13 SVTPP wheels and tires. Then picked up some MRT axle backs, but they would fit with the over axle JPC pipes I have. Fit the 13 Gt500 mufflers and rear valance today. Other changes:
Flat black hood vent inserts
RTR rear spoiler
Roush Side skirts
Front splash guards
White/black Boss shift **** and black boot retainer
Intake sound tube delete
Battery/brake under hood covers
302 center caps and black lugs
Track Key installed

Wow you're doing it right! I love everything. RTR spoiler looks so good on white cars. I'm glad I went with it over the gt500 spoiler.

Thanks, I am really enjoy the mods to this car. I like subtle small changes to my cars. The RTR spoiler is almost a dead on color match to the OEM one but just a little bigger. I thought about the GT500 wing as well, but its a little big for my taste.

Thanks. The stock one is kind of a pain to remove, we used fishing line and heat gun. RTR fits great

Great looking Boss! Mods are really tastefully chosen.

Can you tell me where you get the GT500 rear valance and what the pricetag is for it? Is it a quick & easy install? Same info for the '13 GT500 mufflers with the quad tips if you don't mind.

Are you running the side-exit pipes open, closed, or with the hole baffles? Curious as to how loud the car is with the GT500 mufflers and the side-exit setup together. Any sound clips would be greatly appreciated!! My car won't arrive for a few months, and I'm trying to sort out the needed exhaust upgrades. I've heard a GT with the side-exit Boss setup and stock GT mufflers, and I've heard a car with the GT500 quad tip mufflers...but haven't heard the Boss side-exit setup together with '13 GT500 mufflers yet.

Thanks, and keep up the nice work!!

Thanks, the valance and mufflers came from latemodel restoration. The have a kit that has it all together with hardware. I have open side exhaust, JPC over axle pipes (no resonators) with these mufflers. Honestly it doesnt seem that much louder than the stock mufflers that were on there. A little different sound, but these mufflers supposdly break in more and get a little louder. I really like the sound of the car now.

LOL, does it look incredible though? Thanks again for the help today. Good idea again with the muffler paint up.

The car came from there, its a long story. The orginal boss I bought was damaged by dealer and they replaced it with this one. Had to drive down there and pick it up. I am in central Texas

Looks Great Nice job with the mods. Like the RTR spoiler better than the GT-500 I was considering.
Noticed you have a different Strut Tower Brace than the stock piece?
