Vin:  The wheels look great! I like the emblem delete on the front and the custom exhaust cut outs on the rear bumper. What front springs did you go with?


I'm using SN-95 Mustang front springs.Like I stated above,I need the car to be very functional,and I do NOT like the idea of having to nearly stop the car to cross over a speed bump or Rail Road track.I may drop the rear a little,but not much.I have the ChuckW shock adapters (2 sets),and will be going to Stang shocks,and maybe,SN-95 rear springs (as an experiment).I don't know if they will drop it a little,a lot,or not at all.I haven't really looked into it yet.For now,I'm very happy.

About the smooth header panel.I like it,but,I do miss the Bird emblem.Oh well,better than the busted panel I did have.After I unbolted it from the fenders and bumper cover,it literally came off in two pieces.The only thing holding the header together ion the middle was the Bird emblem.LOL.Either way,I'm glad she's back in shape.I have an idea for the header panel emblem,but,it'll be a surprise.

The car looks great :D I miss the T-bird on the header though ;) You know those wheels look better than I thought, as in I LOVE them. Do they stick out past the front fender? Man when ever I wear out the tires on the Snowflakes (in 10 years ;)) I think I'm going to get a set of gunmetal 10th annys.

The tires do not extend past the fenders.The Mustang offset is great.

It was lowered a couple of inches up front.The rear is stock.It was REALLY high in the front.I need it where it is.If it were any lower,I'd se the front spoiler every time I drive up the driveway or hit a speed bump.I like the lowered look,but,I need function above all else.

Sounds like you need an air suspension. :p

Looking good Vinnie.

They look great on there Vinnie. I've been wanting to put those on my car for a while now, but I had some fitment issues with the factory offset on the front that it looks like the aftermarket has taken care of.

So did you end up with 25mm on the rear and 20 on the front?

Wheels look sweet Vinnie.  I think the gunmetal goes well with your color.  I agree though, you need to do something about that header panel.  Can you get a bird decal made or have a bird airbrushed on?

Car looks great with those wheels! In fact, the car just looks ed fine!

The center caps came with the wheels.I'll fab a new set when I have the time.Right now,I'm going to hunt down my a/c parts.105 degrees today,and we haven't even reached the "hot" part of summer.

I have a plan for that.No stickers or airbrushing.I have to fab up the idea,then we'll see if it'll actually look how I imagine it.

Hey Vinn. Did you happen to see the Jan. 02, issue of Hot Rod magazine? (I actually have the artical, that's how I know the date). But there's an 87 black with goast flames T-Bird, the guy somehow grafted the floating bird emblem onto the header panel. I don't know if you can look it up in the archieves or if that's even what you're thinking of doing. It's worth giving it a look anyhow, it's a sweet Bird.
