Getting ready for my trip and new to me parts.

I picked up a rear GT Bumper, Spoiler and hood Scoop for my V6. I took them over to my friend’s body shop last week to have them painted. As most of us know the problem with the aluminum hood, I decided to have it repaired as well. We will then install the newly painted parts on the Mustang. I will then take the car to a local muffler shop and have the dual exhaust installed. The set-up is going to be an H pipe with OEM take off GT Mufflers. I’m getting the Mustang ready for my trip to a buddy’s in North Carolina last week of February. Before I leave I will order the SR Performance Black Strut Tower Brace from American Muscle and have it sent it to my friend’s place. I will install it while I’m down there. There are a few other mods I would like to do, but time is starting to run short. Those mods will have just have to wait until I get back. One mod that I have already installed is the GT style grille with fog lights from American Muscle. I have attached some pictures of the parts before and after, the before rear bumper and spoiler ( the after will come later ) and the grille before and after.

No disrespect to anyone but, I don't have any plans on changing any badges, I didn't buy it to make it into a GT or for racing, just for pleasure cruising. It is what it is. I like the looks and don't have to pay the GT prices for insurance.

Very nice mods to do!! I agree as well, no need to change out the badges at all.
Any plans on up grading the front cover to one like the GT, or the California Special one, or maybe adding a chin spoiler to give it that extra spice up front?

Good stuff non the less.

Not really a difference in insurance. I actually pay less for a 2013 GT than I did nor a 2006 Pontaic G6GT
