Saw this thread on another Mustang website. Wonder if it's even a real GT lol?

What's wrong with it? Other than the 2 blue fog lights?

Posted by: Rick Sample

Foglights, wheels, grille, and the 4X4 look.

Not everyone has the same tastes.

I'm sure not everyone likes what you did to yours.

I know... I don't think their is a such thing as a perfect Mustang. If I could, I would change something about every mustang in the world... including my own. Different people have different tastes. I was just appolled by the way this particular one looked with the wheels, lights, and grille.

Alright... so I posted something a lot worse for you guys in the other 2005 Mustang Rage thread

The wheels don't look toobad, IMO.
I really like the louvers, taillight trim, and rear spoiler though.
I definitely do not like the fogs, grill, stick on chrome gas cap cover, and hood scoop (I hate all these stick on hood scoops I keep seeing on the 05+)

Those are the 3 things I thought looked pretty good, too. Since it's black and has a few chrome accents, I think it would look great if they gave it a drop and put a set up 18" chrome rims of some kind to tie in all the other small chrome accents.

I just noticed the chrome door handles....those gotta go too.

Posted by: Rick Sample

Yep I just noticed those lol.

It doesn't look HORRIBLE but it is a tad overdone.

It isn't to bad. It does need new wheels IMO though. Perhaps chrome to match the chrome accents.

well maybe the guy didnt go to a larger size rim, is because he ran out of money for some tires to go with the larger rim size after splurging on all his other dress up items. I cant stand the 3M scoops either, I remember first seeing them when I had my 98' V6 a few yrs back, and was like well theres a novel idea.... but what happens when your on the highway and catch some wind!

Its not really too dis tasteful, but yes some of his choices were kinda out of this world with the chrome accents he has chose like the door handle, gas cap, fogs...Advance Auto. probably loves him!

I have always wondered how a 05 v6 would look from the back with a stock bumper, and then dual exhaust added to after market? Since it doesnt have the little exhuast cut for the pipe?

And that children, is another example of a GTV6.

It's not the worst I've seen, but a few things don't look right.
I like the hood scoop, I think this model looks good with most scoops on the market.
I like the rear louvers, but he should've used a similar style for the quarter windows to tie it all to gether.
The fogs look out of place.
The gas cover and door handles are too much.
As mentioned above, chrome accents on the side without chrome wheels just doesn't work.
Even then that was a poor choice of gas cover, ther are better ones out there.
The grill doesn't look horrible, but maybe if he had the larger foglights on a bold lower fascia it would look better.
Don't care for the chrome trim on the taillights, should've gone black with smoked lenses.
Let's hope it's a work in progress.
I drove around for a couple of days with a chrome gas cover (a better one than his), just to see if I could get used to it.
I couldn't and swapped it out.
And I did sport the hood scoop for about a year and a half, until I decided to go with a stripe instead.
Still think the scoops look good though.

Some of it is ok; I am not a chrome fan other than the wheels.
