I was seeing that most / all stangs around here have the floating running pony as the grille. I wanted something a bit different. After looking around and seeing some of the honeycomb and perforated types, none of which I really cared for. I finally found one that I really liked from B-Cool Billets ( 9 Bars ) and used my pony emblem.

Next was to get rid of the Stock Hood, Get Lifts, and a CAI
Hood is a Steeda Q-400, Lifts are from Mass-air, and is a MAC CAI |

I know the engine bay is dirty. That pic was taken just as it left the paint shop. It is normally VERY clean, and there snow in the background These photos are bringing back a few memories.
Note: If your thinking of getting a set of hood lifts, notice how they are attached, the original instructions have you cut a 1" hole out of the inner rail so a nut and bolt can be used and then the hole plugged with a rubber cap. Since I really didn't want a hole there an epoxy was used to bond the bracket to the hood, then 2 self tapping screws were added just to be safe.
This is a great little addition to get rid of that stock prop rod. |

This is a Version II 2 piece cover from ABC Exclusives, What's nice about this cover is it doesn't require any modifications for the Styling Bar ( which is the next things to be installed ) and the cloth seat GOTTA GO!!! |

This is one of my most favorite mods. I got tired of waiting for a company to manufacture a lower grille for the Roush S3 fascia let alone one that looked good, so I did this one myself -> Other companies soon followed. |

After having this on for a week or so I started wondering what it would like if it was recessed like the factory piece, So I started on the Gen2 design. I had some suggestions to make it black so I left the center one unfinished. ( this might have looked really good if the upper grille was black as well. |

I realized after I had this page created that I forgot to put pics up of the install of the PMP Vertical Doors and Custom Paint. |

Since the fenders were off, I had them shave the antenna ( the most overlooked mod )
but give it a VERY clean look.

Now every photo of my car since the doors where installed ( including the one pictured above ) Now has the custom paint pigment.
This is NOT the same as a mystic paint job.
The "EFFECT" of this pigment is WILD to say the least ( In bright sun ) You get a gambit of the red spectrum, Not really a color changing effect its more like a reflective changing effect.
The BEST compliment IMO is when at a show / gas station / etc. and someone asks me. "Is that a factory color?" That's how PERFECT the paint job looks. However with that being said. It makes it next to impossible to take a picture and get the effect.
This photo is about the best I can get to show a little of the reflectiveness of the Diamond Ice.
