[05mustangman]

Wow that is just gorgeous!  Very well done!!!!

[LAST500]

Thanks for the compliments, it's turned into quite a project

[Farmer-Ted]

Looks great.  Are those the Roush side splitters?

[Norton]

Looks great, but I don't appear to have access to the second set of pics you posted. (Not sure why, but the forum says I "do not have permission to view this attachment.")

It's nice! I would have gone a tad more subtle on the leather, but it certainly doens't look bad. The wheels are very nice.
Car from the exterior is Excellent. Definitely made that GT500 your own. You should give it a designator...
Shelby GT500-X or something like that to denote your name!

[LAST500]

The side splitters are Roush

[Squirrel 007]

Where did you get the leather interior done and what was the cost? I think I want to get rid of that plastic look of the cockpit. I'll send my car out west if I have to.

Hi Squirrel 007;  PM me and I can get you set up for the interior.   I did not like the plastic interior either, and the leather interior conversion was quite expensive but worth it.

Why did you keep the seats stock?

Car looks real nice. Twain did a good job on the interior. Only thing different I would do is put a lot more suede in there but thats just different tastes.

How does the leather feel compared to the leather on the seats?

[mikejaeggi]

that leather interior is beautiful, well done

Why wouldn't he keep them stock?  They are awesome as is...IMO.

Car looks GREAT!  nice job.

[LAST500]

The seats are quite nice as is.  I brought the rest of the interior up to the seats, which are leather and suede covered already on the seating surfaces.  Now the interior of the car exudes the quality that I hoped ford would have invested; but on the other hand a full leather interior would have added thousands of dollars to the $63k MSRP.
