    So you got rid of the dual lamps in the grill.....

    What do you plan on doing with those and the grill?
    My dad has an 05 V6 model and he wants some of those lamps.

    Thats a nice car though, I dont see many new stangs I like other than his (yellow w/ black stripes) ....I think Id take yours over his though esp. w/ that extra 100 or so hp :cool:

    Sold off the stock front already.

    Latest dyno: 403RWHP and 360RWTQ eff yeah!

    Glad to see you doing it the right way. Too bad you had to go and ruin it with a monitor. :D

    This is a first, instead of going with performance robbing dubs, we got ultra lightweight 5Zigen wheels with Nitto rubber. The 5Zigens are finished in Hyper Black, depending on the lighting, they look dark silver or black.

    I've been meaning to ask how well FAT MAT works.

    will this be lowered at all? the fender gap at the rear seems (at least from this angle) to be rather larger than one would expect...

    The car is lowered (full Saleen Racecraft/ BMR suspension), but the Nitto Drag Radials are an inch shorter than the stock tires, hence the gap.

    (The new Stangs look like 4x4's stock, the gaps are huge)

    It works good as far as I know. I've never used other products like it, so I have no basis for comparison. They have a nice kit that comes with a roller and a razor (also a degreaser, but my car I didn't need it).

    Hardcore Japanese rims on an American car w/ disposable Nitto treads....cool.

    Those are definitely some awesome looking wheels. And 403hp? Sweet. But you better get some more stump-pulling, tire melting torque outta that thing before you call quits on tuning!

    what'd you do to the motor? or are those stock numbers...?

    with a higher horse to torque rating i'm assuming the motor is forced induction, right?

    Stock, its like 273rwhp. Its capable of more torque than 360, but I'm playing it safe.

    I installed this little thing for more powa

    The Polk 400.4 is running Polk MMC570's in the doors and will also run some Polk MMC5250 components in the front kickpanels (Still waiting on Q-Logic to release to the public).

    Speakers in back deck were removed.

    The Polk 300.2 is in bridged mode and will be powering two Polk MM2154DVC.

    Currently I just have a pair of 12" Infinity Kappas hooked up for fun. A box for the 15's in still under construction, but I may outsource it, the angles suck on it.

    System sounds very clean and clear, no vehicle noise is coming through the Pioneer. Its gonna scream once I get the MMC5250's up front as well.

    Slowly, but surely...

    wow, only 2 amps for all that?

    Here I am about to use a 400.4 for mmc6500 and a 300.2 for one 10" sub. lol

    All this **** is so confusing.

    Tint my ride! Also installed BMR upper third link and mount which got rid of all remaining wheel hop (anybody need a complete stock '06 GT suspension package for cheap?!)


    Its only 35% but looks really dark in the shadows with the black interior.

    I love those new 'Stangs. Those, the new Charger and the Magnum are the only cars out right now that would make me even consider giving up driving trucks.

    That's really neat, alot of ultra-cool investment work. The photo of the tint + work is tight.

    I would like to see some more custom work....but it's your money.

    Man, that is one sweet ride. From the front fascia, to the blower, to the wheels, to the audio...killer! The only thing I would have done, given that I had enough money to trick out a Mustang, is get more torque out of it. But then, I don't know what a reasonable limit is for that engine, so you may be approaching it.

    Anyhoo, she looks great...and I know you'll love pulling up to those rice-mobiles at street lights. What'll she do 0-60 and the 1/4 in?
