Think I could get some ESM's and swap out the lips with some bigger BBS lips on ebay to get that hellaflush look?

This. You can't do it. And you're probably not even low enough to think about doing it.

Okay, thanks. And I'm low enough I'm barely able to get around here in the mountains, my eibach pros do a stellar job for how cheap they are. Just can't wait to get some rims to get the car looking stanced like this SVT:

What about a picture of your car?

FWIW, those are 9" wheels and they are on the edge of fitting. Adding a 1/2" to that while also pushing them out to ET 0 just isn't feasible.

Yeah those are Mustang Cobra reps (17x9 24et).

The owner of that car was using either Raceland coilovers or H&R coilovers.

AND... that's not an SVT. She just put a bumper on.
