Very nice! The more I see GTHIG mustangs, the more I like it. I think black 5.0 emblems, will be the cherry on top. How do you like the Outlaw ABs?

thanks for the positive feedback. i do plan on dipping the emblems soon. just havent got around to it yet. the axle backs sound great, only drawback is the drone at 2k rpm in 6th. they are louder just driving around town but to me they sound like they quiet down at wot.

under the tree right now are barton shifter bracket, eibach pro kit lowering springs, bmr adjsutable panhard bar, and camber bolts. will post pics once installed.

I hope you have better luck plasti dipping the emblems than I did. I attempted 3 times before I just gave up and got a pair on ebay for $20. Maybe I m just a little bit of a perfectionist, but I never was fully satisfied. Btw I also loved the pro pics, got me thinking of getting some of my own.

Great car and I can appreciate the Zaino treatment, I spent 12 hours on mine the first day and that was just the exterior. You gotta love the Zaino products, I have had more comments on the paint finish than any other aspect of the car.

i really like that diffuser. how did you install it. i seen vids where modifications had to be made and the person used bolts and painted them to match. i dont want to have any bolts showing. i want the oem look. your car looks great. these cars really are perfect for pictures because the green and yellow pearl just really pop out nicely.

if there is anything i have learned when it comes to painting, prep is key. i would spend hours prepping and minutes painting. the emblems look pretty hard because of all the tight spots that are hard to get tape in there but i plan to only tape off around the emblem so i dont get dip on the car and then use a toothpick to peel the dip out of the tight crevices of the emblem. hopefully that works, if not, ebay.

Thanks..I did it myself. Below is the thread on TMS where I shared the steps taken, including photos. It's quite a bit of work, but really worth it!

Wow. I can just imagine what a blast it is to drive. Or even open the garage door to every morning. Sweet ride. I can't wait to see the suspension mods. That is always the icing on the cake for me. I've got steeda ultralite springs waiting to go in. Just need to wait til next year to purchase shocks and struts and other things. Very nice op

it sure is. owning a mustang is just so cool because you really dont need to do many mods, its already fast unlike my old Honda that I recently sold. im focusing more on the cosmetic side of things for now until i get that urge for more power.

i came out of a 2007 Honda Civic SI that i did a huge build on.

check it out.


ADDED THE OTHER 3 SOLID MOTOR MOUNTS AFTER THIS VID

I love the GHIG cars, However I am not sure what the big craze is about the black wheels.. or at least the Matte Black wheels. I liked it better with the chrome non-plasti dipped rims. Just my .o2
