Default Wife's GO Mustang is coming along

Heres some current pictures so far. The grill was the hardest to install. I had to take the Dremal to a BRAND NEW 2008 V6. Had to restrain my wife in a sepreate room so I could cut away. Next is a set of rims then drop springs to get rid of the 4X4 look.

Man those new V6s really look boring in stock form compared to the new edges.

Nice.
BTW try to put pics under each other instead of side to side so it will be easier to see without the need to scroll sideways

Default Burnout....

This was the first time I got to drive it more than around the block..
I took it to work with me knowing that Sundays are dead. Took several shots of it then decided it needed an action shot. As far as her reaction? Well there's an old saying..." It is easyier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permssion"....She ended up liking it. And no it does not have posi.

black on that color would look terrible. Go with 20 inch chromes, I guarantee you it would look gorgeous.

Default Chromies...

I would have better luck stopping a flowing river than changing her mind on the rims...Her last car (2001 Cougar) had black rims with chrome rings..it looked good on the car.
IDK, rims are going to be a while till I, um she burns the tires off she has now.

lmao.. "poser cars." So, it's instantly a GT poser if you put GT fog lamps on it?! hahah! I don't see any GT badges anywhere, but maybe im missing them.

Good looking car bud, I think black rims would look OK, but I agree with Jon chrome/ polished would look much better.

my burnouts make so much smoke you can't really tell unless you're looking at the driver's side of the car starts moving.




dooche.

Default Poser?!?

I have made these changes because my wife likes the look. I like the V6 price as well as insurance. After her first Mustang ('67 GT Convert) went up in flames, I'm taking it easy on my pocket! At no point am I passing it off as a GT.

No offence taken..***

BTW...the rear passenger side tire spin's on a one legger. Not Drivers side.

damn lol we have a lot of posers on this board then haha everyone that has a cobra bumper poser... i have fog lights and they are just a little different in color from my headlights so I'm a poser and a ricer from the other thread

I don't know to me its fine hes not using the GT badges so IMO there is nothing wrong with that plus I'm not to familiar with the 05+ but don't the v6 fogs they use a lot smaller? may as well as use the larger ones when you have them to help you see anyway
