I like what you have done so far looks real nice and the gold stripes will really set it all off. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

More parts coming
 
I ordered some parts to be shipped to North Carolina for when I arrive there.
I’ll install them when I’m down there and post some more pictures.
The parts I ordered are the SR Performance Black Strut Tower Brace from AM and a Rear Decklid Blackout Panel from Parts Cheap. :D

I made it back from North Carolina. It was a great trip. The Mustang ran well, not a hiccup. I averaged 25.5 MPG filling up only with the high octane 93 at the major service stations. One of the first things I did when I got there was put the strut tower brace on. I didn’t have a small enough wrench down there to change the GT plate on the brace. I’ll do that now that it is in a warm garage and I have the right tools. It did make a difference on the drive home. The front end didn’t seem to bounce around as much. I didn’t put the blackout panel on. I’ll do that when I put the stripe kit on. I got home on Sunday afternoon and took the car for a good wash on Monday morning. It’s now back in the garage until the better weather gets here.

Love your mod plan! Looks great and brings back memories from 2 years ago. The tape on your spoiler was much less than my 2011 GT. The entire thing had tape on it, from end to end, both sides of the bolts. Yep, definitely a tough job. Hood scoop looks great too! How many holes did you drill for that install?

Thanks! I feel your pain, that double sided tape is tough stuff. I had to drill 7 holes for the scoope. After I had the hood painted and put on the scoope. I found this GT 500 hood for sale. I have been rethinking about maybe I should buy this one and sell mine. :D
