I got the car back from paint today. The spoiler is mounted, bumpers were repainted with chrome strips removed, and header panel and grille was redone. Here are a couple quick pictures. The entire car needs a detailing but that will happen once I feel better and the weather doesn't change ever 30 seconds. :rolf Before and after shots below.

Thanks again to 1320PNY for the photoshops to help me decide where to go with this project. And thanks everyone who voted in my poll. Now I just gotta finish my headlight blackout project :goof

Now get some ported heads, cams, 2800 stall torque converter, custom headers, tune, and 4.30 gears and you'll be ready to go.

Now get some ported heads, cams, Kooks Long tube headers, tune, and 3.73 gears and Im done. Fixed :rolf

Im not real sure on the exact benefit of the stall converter so that will go onto the maybe side. :banana

Harder launches.

Looks good, needs some rims. Some 17" black / polished lip... like these:

Yeah, these are the winter stock wheels and snow tires. Its got 17" Mustang GT wheels for Summer time. If I get different wheels it would have to wait a little while. Im pretty much tapped out.

Summer wheels.

Yes, Nightshades plans are in the works. My only issue is not being able to be without the car for an extended period so im trying to figure that out,

Wouldn't it be pretty cheap to just pick up a non-amber taillight?

also nightshading them sounds awesome

Oh, did you mean the chrome under the tails blacked out? I actually left it chrome because I couldn't afford the new taillights because I wanted to leave the white and chrome parts intact for future swapping purposes. My body guy was also not sure how well the paint would stick to that cheap plastichrome, so we left it be. Taillights are like 250 bucks from Ford and 130 or so from Sortafit, I mean Certifit.:rolf

I would just PM pOrk and have Crash paint them for you. As long as you put all that work into the rear of the car it wouldn't be worth it to night-shade them and have it look like shit.

Way ahead of you, Ryan. I just gotta wait for the lights to get here and I'm getting them over to Pork. Cause I don't have a damn clue what I'm doing when it comes to nightshade. :rolf
