Hey guys,
Just wondering what else I could do to make my stang look meaner. Currently appearance wise I have lowering springs, mach1 spoiler, mach1 grille delete, mach1 shift knob, mach1 pedals, headlight covers, Chrome Cobra R's, gloss black hood decal, gloss black bumper lettering, and Gloss Black American Muscle rocker stripes. What else can be done to make my stang appear meaner? Yes its a v6, but it has the right to still appear mean. Im thinking about getting sequential tail lights, honeycomb decklid, GT hood scoop, white MUSTANG front window lettering(will draw attention to the dark car),and smoked halographic lights. I know my opinion is all that matters, BUT I want attention drawn to my car. Right now it doesnt seem to be turning enough heads, even with nice sounding Flowmasters :( What should I do to my car appearance wise? I like a sebtle but mean look which is why I have most Black on my atlantic blue stang.
Thanks,
Justin

Didnt think about the white and chrome. IMO the chrome with the black doesnt look bad right now, and im getting them powdercoated black in the future, but I never thought of the white and chrome coming together. YUCK! Thanks for mentioning that! And the spoiler does need moved back, I forgot about that mod, and that looks great for free!

Cant go staggered :/ No money for new wheels. I have already dropped it, and although it sits high, I had a pain doing it the first time in the front so I never will again haha. I Have window tint coming in the mail (Always have done tint myself), and I think the scoops will be next. Could I tint my tail lights without replacing them and have it look nice(Glossy finish not matte)?

Im more than willing to remove and cut rears, but front are too much to handle so I dont wanna go there now. Plus I live on a dirt road, any lower and I may rub:/ I have a 3 inch gap in front and 2 inch in back currently due to my sub.

I moved mine back just far enough to reuse one set of holes (been a long time since I did it so I don't remember which set I reused -I think I may have used the rear holes for the alignment pins and drilled new ones for the bolts-).

i think your wheels are fine and i agree with the gt hood scoop and side scoops and also agree with the other guys and staying with maybe 2 colors but my personal opinion i hate when people put the letters or sayings or what kind of car they have across the front or rear windshields my chick says its douchbag status lol

He wants to make it look meaner, not look the same as it does already.

Either chrome or black Saleens would look killer on that color car. Lowering springs and tint would be a nice addition.

Coilovers and swap a coyote in there and call it a day chrome does not make a car look mean and you wory too much about looks all that stuff you have could buy you a 4.6pi v8

An engine swap runs $1000+, I work at Mcdonalds and make $200 dollar paychecks. As a teen who drives a lot(Gas money) that is not possible.

Nothing says I'm going to throw my rubber on you like a nice cowl hood. I don't think white lettering would be good.

By the way I just noticed your white headlights? They look pretty good. That's also coming from someone who has always prefered the smoked look :lol.

find angry eyebrows to put on top of the car. I would be scared.

But seriously, ditch the headlights, get the black housing ones.

LoveTheBlue,

It sounds like you have a pretty sick Mustang so far! I agree with everything being tossed around in here so far, I'd throw a set of Smoked headlights/Taillights in there and a nice drop. That should give you a much more aggressive stance, as well as be a huge improvement to handling, cornering, breaking etc..

Besides that, I really like the way your Mustang looks! Keep up the great work and I hope this helps. Remember, this is just my opinion!
