Hey guys, just grabed some pics of my latest mods. I upgraded from the 17" premium wheels to the 18" polished and installed some JBA axel backs.

#1 thes197 bullitts look cheap
#2 that exhuast is way too quiet, sounds like stock to me...
#3 LOSE THE MUD FLAPS
so if i was u ide invest in a set of rims that actually have a machined lip, lower it, get an o/r crossover, a cowl hood or hood scoop wouldnt be a bad idea, maybe a chin spoiler of some kind too. but right now it looks and sounds like every other s197 gt out there.

#1 Well they were cheep ($600 wheels and tires) but I like them. Though I am thinking of powder coating them black.
#2 Yes, not a ton louder than stock, but when I add the Bassanni x-pipe I did not want it to be crazy loud.
#3 I live in Ohio and the winters really tear up the roads, little rocks and gravel everywhere. Those things really help keep my bumper in great conditon. My previous car, a 95 v6 stang, was all scratched up behind the wheels. I suppose I could get the GT500 mud flaps, but they don't seem like the give good enough coverage.

Looks good.
I've been thinking of going the same route with mine but, I want the wheels to have a lip on them. I really like that old school look.

I know, but I have not saved up enough for a decent winter car yet :(. This was the first priority after college.

I hear ya. Fot me I, am going for a modern theme. One of the reasons I picked the JBA's. I want my stang to sound like it belongs in the 21st century. Just my perferance thats all.
looking good I'm been looking at the silver 18 inch bullets from late model rest. for my alloy gt I like those wheels on the mustangs
