Total props on pulling it off, they did a damn good job.

Wouldnt do it to mine though.

 

This is one of those things where people will usually divide into 2 very strong camps, either they really like it or really hate it. <rofl>
Non-Mustang fans (not haters, just not mustang obsessed) would probably really dig it, while mustang fans will probably not because it is such a crossing of vehicals.

Overall appearance, i give it a 10 out of 10. But the idea of it im not too down for.

Wasnt that BMW headlight conversion just a photoshop? ive never seen a conversion like it for sale.

 

just playing devils advocate here, if you have heared mustang guys say "if i saw that car i'd...." all over the internet on all mustang boards, wouldnt that be more of a mustang thing to say than a ricer thing to say? <ROFL>

Personally, i dont think it is a ricer statement or a mustang statement. its just talking smack, which i wouldnt associate with any type of car guy, i'd just associate it with youthful arrogance.

However, i do see many parallels between some mustang owners and some ricers, the thing is the parallels i see usually only appear within a certain age range.

The big thing with a lot of mustang owners, is mustangs have been souped up and raced for 40 years, they had a major role in the entire muscle car era and a lot of people hold that as almost aa sacred aspect of the mustang. Do what you will to it, but keep it a mustang. The mustang is a legacy.

Now, on the other hand, you have the new-school hustle pocket rockets, they dont have much of a history behind them, they are new cars and new models and there isnt anyone around who has been playing with them for 30+ years.

Enter the young mustang owner, first mustang, wants to do stuff to it. Who do they ask? Other people with muscle cars. Who do they get thier knowledge from? The oldschool muscle cars guys. What do old people not like? Change. They like things to keep true to what they had when they were young. This mentallity passes from the oldschool mustang guy to the newschool mustang guy.

Take anyone out there with a mustang. If it looks like a souped up civic with the big chrome wing and fart cannon, that means they dont know any oldschool muscle car guys, all thier buddys are into the F&F type.

If thier car is souped up but without the altzza's, wings, and body kits, chances are they have somewhat of a mustang mentor who encourages them to keep it true to the oldschool.

How many people have we seen come onto this board with altezza's and crazy body kits who over time lost the altezza's? and the type-r stickers? and replaced the blackwidow with a rousch or cobra body kit?

They find this place, they find a comraderie of mustang fans that love the legacy all the way back to 1964 and try to keep it true to the oldschool.

If they diddnt find this place or another like it, they would be sitting there putting on all the crazy body kits, wings, and stickers, because all they know is F&F.

The ricer crowd are not that much different than the muscle car crowd. We are all gear heads, we just have different choices in taste. Tell ya what though, if you stab a ricer, they dont leak black blood, it is still red, and if you spend the time talking to them, people might find that there is not a big difference between the two groups.


Now, everyone feel free to jump in and donkey punch the crap out of me cause i know that whole perspective will **** a lot of people off.


However, bashing on ricers? hell i do it. it is a part of comraderie. it is like talking smack about the opposing sport team, or the rival school. It is competition, it gives people a better sence of togetherness with other like minded people, and it is all in good fun.

So dont worry when people bash on ricers, i'd say most of the time it is just all in good fun, trust me, they say the same to us, but so far, every time i go park somewhere and run into a guy with a riced out ride, we check eachothers rides out, BS about cars, and everything is cool.

Dont let the the cocky little bastard ricer types who do nothing other than talk crap ruin your appreciation for other cars though, after all, they put up with some real ******** driving mustangs.

hey w01, out of the subject but whats the decal on your hood, i have never seen pics of your car

 

Yeah personally i wouldn't bust the mission of converting my car like that, I rather just trade my car in for an 05 GT instead of doing the conversion, it just looks too much like a rip off. Its kindof like when i see the Tahoes with escalade conversions

 

yeah.. i gotta admit that is really cool...

the rear end looks better than the 05's.... ford should shape the new mustang like that but LOSE the chevy taillights...

thats ****in great...lmao
