I am going with the Roush splitters and chin too. I'm gonna wait till my suspension arrives and get them done while she's on the hoist.

they do look natural on the car, especially after some lowering.

I really like the quad exhaust. You must have gotten them delivered before you got the car.
Nice color too.

I think we need a sound clip of the exhaust. (I never get tired of hearing exhaust clips.)

Thanks everyone. Yeah, ordered the axle backs weeks before the car was delivered. I painted the cans with Rustoleum high heat primer and matte black. I got the dealer to install them as part of the deal. I was a little worried about them going on crooked but they did a good job. I really like the look of yours, Nighthawk. I have been watching the progress on your thread. Love those wheels and the lowered look. Did you end up getting that CF hood?

Thanks. No, I didn't get the CF hood yet. My speedshop told me that it is made to order and and it will take months to get it in. I almost got my hands on the 2014 GT500 a/b take offs but my StangBoy5.0 beat me to it.

Too bad about the AB's, Nighthawk. The quad tips will just add another level of awesomeness to your car. Let us see some pics of what you end up getting. Thinking of GT500 or something else? I just put some MGP caliper covers over the stock GT/CS calipers until I get a wheel/brake upgrade. Have to wait until the spring though. I think these do an OK job of covering the ugly stock calipers and keep the excess brake dust off the wheels. The rear have the "5.0" logo.

I already have 2012 gt500 take offs that I got for $130 last year. I still didn't hear how they sound like compared to mine. Btw, I kept the black lug nuts when I out back the CS wheels and they look better.
You don't have any issues with noise with those caliper covers?

Hmm Ohboy...I just installed them about 3 hours ago haha. I checked the clearance, moved the wheel, then drove around the block and no noise. I'm good on clearance... I guess I'll have to take it for a spin on the highway. Did you already run into this or read about noise with these?

I still have to get a video up of the GT500 quad tips. They sound different than the other GT500 AB's.

I heard about caliper covers making noise and another member had noise after a week. I just painted mine black and hardly notice them.

I will listen to them soon if StangBoy5.0 ever gets a day off from work. He will be the one installing my Steeda rear brace.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on them... er ear... If I notice anything, I'll do what you did and just paint them.

Finally got a small clip up of the quad GT500 AB sound after start and a couple small revs. I don't like revving the engine too hard when I'm sitting at idle.

From those pics, it's hard to tell that those are covers and not the real deal.

They really do look awesome. If I wasn't a broke teacher, I'd get a set.

Thanks. The install wasn't bad. Not too much adjusting of the clips that hold the covers in place. Drove around all day and no rubbing/sound coming from them. I made sure that I could fit a credit card width of plastic in between the clips and the rotors. Really wish I could do the brake upgrade, but not keen on having to buy new wheels, then I will most certainly want wider tires if I go that route. Doesn't make sense with a car that only has a little over 1000 miles on it.

Some new splash guards would be nice though...
