    Whats going on fellas, just picked up a new to me daily about 3 weeks ago now.
    14 R/T with 9k miles
    Ran across this site when I was looking up some lowering ideas. Seems like a pretty knowledgeable group so I wanted to join up.

    On to the pics!

    1st car wash in my possession..I thought mustangs where high stock,lol but after looking at this pic I knew I needed to change the stance. Also,I'm not a fan of the chrome wheels...just not for me.

    Interior was nice,but plain. Needed a little color so of course came the 75cent mod.

    Now we get into the fun stuff! Lowering with some 06-10 springs. I'm Still on the fence about the stance.

    Now I had to address the wheels. Decided to dip one wheel just to decide if i wanted to go with a black wheel. Looked...OK,but I needed something different..

    So I hit up a friend at American Racing and got some wheels. Not released yet to the public (score) and the 1st one made in Graphite. American Racing AR924 Crossfire. 20x9.5. 275/35 Rear ...245/35 front

    Whats to come:
    Luxe front/rear lighting tint is sitting in my house waiting to be put on.
    Window Tint set up for next week.
    Mighty Mouse Solutions Catch Can.
    Electric cut outs for when I actually want to get froggy lol
    15+ spoiler swap,with a wicker bill. Not sure if the hole match up tho,havent looked into it yet.
    Brembo brakes

    Way down the line performance upgrades.



    And heres a few of my 5.0 that I recently got rid of.

    I just made the connection that you were the one a little while ago asking about lowering springs in another thread. What are you on the fence about with the stance? Do you still want it lower?

    Yea i still need to go a little lower in the rear. the Rake on the stance just doesn't flow right.
