Nice! Is this how Santa treated you for Christmas? Glad to see you're modding her, shes definitely a beast that loves mods :thumb:
And about the green lug nut situation, I bought a set of extended lightweight aluminum drag lugs and had them powdercoated jet black to match my paint. I'm sure you can go the same for your green. That would look insane with black wheels
Ya the car is def larger but easier to judge. On the honda it was hard for me to see backing up because the rear is sloped upward. Plus on the stang having back up sensors helps a lot too.
I think i might just get black lugs later on. Im still working on getting the custom RTR side stripe next. Ya the mod bug bit me. I know i said i wasnt gonna mod this car but we all know how that goes. I will post pics once all the suspension mods are installed. Stay tuned.
I think green lugs would look dope.
Sounds good to me, and yea we all know that story. Mod bug is with us for life, talk about a disease. But it's a good disease, makes life more enjoyable! Whats an RTR side strip? I like suspension mods, I'm tuned in!Quote:

Im gonna start my build from the ground up starting with suspension, then power. No point in having power if i cant put it to the ground. Its already bad enough that the factory traction controls (all 3 of them) cant stop wheelspin. So i have to do it myself.
Gotchya, looks nice! And that's a great idea. Most guys around here with the new 5.0's say their first mod is drag radials. Nitto 555r's to be specific. So what you're saying makes sense now that I think about it. Powerful beast you have!Quote:

Install is on sunday, woo hoo. Alignment this week then. Ya the radials are freaking awesome. I borrowed a set off a friend of mine at the track. Only had time to make 1 pass and i ended up missing 3rd because of that crappy shifter bracket. Thats why i bought the upgraded bracket. The tranny was so tq'd that the bracket moved causing me to miss the gear. The factory bracket is rubber and held in place by zip ties. Bad design by fords part.Quote:

Ran a 13.1 missing 3rd. The craziest thing about a mustang 5.0 is this. Most cars out there need to boost them to even hit low 12's. i just have to add tires, lol.
Also want to add i ran 12.9 @110 on street tires on my 4th pass ever owning the car
Ya, its got a k20 with 6 jrsc kits in itQuote:
