So I figured it was about time to start my own build thread. So here it is.

It started like this.



Then after 70 miles on the dash it was time to upgrade!
Coilovers






Then came rims!




Had to adjust the front some more.



Then came the Billet Grille.





Then my rear diffuser!





Then my front diffuser/pan!




Then came the NRG neo chrome weighted shift knob.




Got to take some more picture. I now have the windows tinted. The door/cup holder mats. Billet 2" nubby antenna. Plasti Dipped foglight bezels.

Thanks guys. Exhaust will be coming when I get my hands on a tuner. Then I'll pick up my FS werks header, stealth cat back, steeds short ram and get it tuned all up. That will be plenty for the wife! Can't wait to see how she does on the autox.

Are all those little liners (door handles, cupholder, coin pocket) OEM Ford? I've never seen those.

Excellent, I like the wheels and where this is going. IMO I would even the car out a bit more, seems like the rear end sags a bit and the focus is more of a raked look. Not saying you have to rake (I do not) just drop the front end a touch or raise the back a bit. Sweet 2012 though!

I posted the link in my coil over install thread. The thread is in my sig. I can lower the front a lot more but I want to put 19's on and tuck them. May have to trim inner fenders but it will look sick. Thanks for the compliments.

I would vote rat rod. You could always throw more work into a rat rod and 'personalize' it. The mustang is already built, no fun there. Plus, you never see rat rods, you always see mustangs.

I was thinking rat rod too. It needs more work right off the bat. The mustang can still be built a lot. This guy only built the engine. My last one I had $15000 in aftermarket upgrades and didn't even go internally. I'll see what happens.
