Finally back in a Mustang as a DD!

[mustangguy289]

About the same. LOL

So if I decide to get rid of louvers I can call it a wash haha. Damn I've already got the mod bug. My American muscle wish list is up to about $5k. That's a lot of birthdays and Christmas.

You could run 9's in a fox coupe for 5k

You can't even buy a Fox for 5k lol.

Nice ride Joey. But what are you gonna pull your 66 with?

Great looking car, man!

There is exactly ONE set of louvers that I like on the S197 Mustangs, the SHR flush mounted ones. They're expensive and a bitch to install but they are the only ones that I think pull it off properly.

^Those aren't half bad. I don't think I'd buy them but they at least look like they belong on the car.

[Rick Modena]

I was going to buy a set of those because they are clean and look OEM, but they use a 'plastic' insert that isn't very clear like glass. So I passed on them and like someone else said they are PITA to install.

Edit: Those say they are made of Polycarbonate which should be very clear, but the ones I saw on a Mustang at a carshow were distorted, I wonder if these are different than the ones I saw in person.

The wife is now driving an F150. I decided it was stupid for us to have 2 trucks... and the Mustang gets better gas mileage right? lol. I need to get back out to the track. I have not been in over a year. The 65 now has a Gforced T5 in it. The better first gear, weight reduction of transmission and my personal weight loss has me curious how much quicker the car will run. (2.95 vs. 2.78 1st gear, 25 lbs lost in the car, 130 lbs lost in the driver should make for some better times.)

Thanks and those do look really nice. The louvers on my car look much better in person in my opinion. Hell, the car looks 10 times better than those shitty dealership pictures. Some tint and wheels will really set it off.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to lower it. I was barely able to drive it up into our garage without scraping the underside. So unless I do some expensive concrete work, the car can't be lowered.

Looks slow.

[mustangguy289]

Here are a little bit better pictures. Finally had a decent day to wash her and I had the tint put on a few days ago. Wheels will be next!

[yellowstang]

Much better pics! What wheels you going with? I've been looking and looking and can't find anything I really like that the wife also likes. For stock wheels, yours look pretty good tho, IMO.

[mustangguy289]

The stockers are 18" with 235 tires. I know I am wanting to go with 20x9.5 wheels with a 275 tire all the way around. I love the staggered look but for driving 20k miles a year I need to be able to rotate. Deciding on wheels is a pain in the arse.

Right now my top choice is the Steeda Spyder in a machined face .



Also like the Shelby CS40 once I found out the rivets can be removed.




Also looking into a new wheel made by TSW that they say has not been put on a Mustang yet.

[yellowstang]

There is a set of new/unused Steeda's for sale on that S197 forum Danny posted in about my car thread.

Seems like a great deal if you want those!

nice car man.
