I really like the look of the back sans the spoiler.

Thanks, Hop -

I may - down the road - put a Shelby-style spoiler on, one that actually might be useful at high speed.

But the OEM spoiler to me is just an afterthought and looks like it. I like form and function.

Okay - a few more "before" pics:

Including one of my salesguy, Jeremy and one of the wife behind the wheel.

And - one of my first speeding ticket. Bummer. :banghead:

Why does that car have rolled exhaust tips but no hood scoop?  I thought they were only available as part of the exterior decor package.

Good question.

Regardless, they're coming off next week!

But you're right - the GT's I've seen don't have rolled tips.

My previous Mustangs - including wifey's '01 - V6.

And, yes, that's a Citation in front of the '85!

It had the V6 and the F41 suspension package.

I liked it.

No flames, y'all.

Yep. An '03. I got it up in Richmond at Bill Talley Ford. That was a very - very strong engine.

I'll take a pic of the dash this week - but I don't think it's going to really show how good it looks in person. I ordered it without seeing it - just based on my salesguy's opinion. Stainless shows all sorts of fingerprints. But this covering is very good looking.

Don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow and there's a Harrier hovering in front of your house. :rant:

no Harrier :shrug: but I did see a Sharp-shined and a Red-tailed hawk this morning  :hysterical:

I bet that red 5.0 LX vert was fun -- very light.   That Mach is really nice too...  Wonder what and when Ford will serve up for the new Mach -- inevitable I think.  I think the following seq might make sense: boss-lite, bullitt, mach, big-boss, ???  maybe with Shelby tossing in a GT350 and 500KR along the way?

<ps - it was hard to resist that pic, Bryan... it was even white and all... so easy to play with ;-)>
