      I'm more fond of A because you'll still have an assload of flat panel above the stripe if you go with C.

              A or C on the stripes, at least with A it breaks up some of the white a little more.

              Like Mike said, needs more low too!

                Its very well made, and very simple. The main bracket is about an inch thick, cnc'ed, and is straight, so not much room for deflection. The spacer is hub centric, and the knurls of the new 3" studs press into it as will. Once it is all put together, it might as well be considered one piece.

                When you compare the costs of the other brake upgrades, this is priced closely, and imho a much better system, speaking fROM my application and options.

                  the 3 inch studs press into the bracket? or you have to get new wheel studs for the hub?

                  edit: nm, took a second look at your pic and saw the spacer you were talking about. did it come with new studs?

                      I think I found a stripe that will be about right, and it looks like/similar to the lower portion of the boss 302 strip. I can get it blank or with 302 cut out of it... Im leaning twards the 302 cutout.

                        That stripe looks nice! Better than the other choices.

                            I dunno why, but it feels like there needs to be something accentuating the body line that's right below the door handles. Just from looking at it. (your car, not the one pictured here)

                            What's the deal with the scoop on the car you pictured there Baron? If you could do something like that maybe it would help? (I don't know shit about older mustangs and the body differences.) The scoop helps to break up the side of the car and uses both the hip line and the upper body line on the one you've got pictured here. The red pinstripe and 2 tone also help.

                            I've edited this post like 3 times (scratch that, 4,) adding different comments, if something seems like it doesn't make sense, it probably doesn't.

                              The scoops on came on the fastback, non Boss versions.

                              I would do something along the lines of this:
