Last week I finally got a JLT II CAI and Brenspeed tune.  I'm running the 91 octane.  That was a very easy install, and I'm not the most technically inclined person in the world.  This made my car MUCH more aggressive feeling.
 
I also got the factory wing removed and a new rear spoiler put on.  The body shop carried the black from my hood and roof over the decklid.  Eventually I'll have them paint the rear bumper too.
 
A buddy of mine has been helping me with my audio system.  This system will be for Rock - No rap in my Mustang!  We've spent about 25 hours just doing wiring and we're now pretty much done with that phase.  We also applied sound deadner to the front doors.  Next we'll install speakers and amps, and fiberglass the back of the plastic part of the front door panels.  Here's my system:
Head Unit: Pioneer Premier DEH-P980BT
Front Door Subs: CDT 8" EF-8 - Amp is Eclipse EA2000
Front Door Mids: CDT 5.25" CL-E51  (I'll also be installing some CDT TW-25 tweeters - probably in the A-pillars) - Amp is Kenwood KAC-7202
Rear Deck:Kenwood 6x8 KFC-X680 - Unamplified
Trunk Sub: TC Sounds 12" TC-1000 - Amp is Pioneer GM-6200F
I'll also be using a Kicker KX2Active 2-Way Electronic Crossover to split the signal to the EA2000 & GM-6200F amps.
 
I just got new 20" Black Chrome Bullitts for my 'Stang! The pictures don't do them justice. The front rims are 8.5" wide and the rears are 10" wide. No more spinning when I launch Tell me what you think...

Looks great, love the stripes. You need a Shortie antenna FTW!

Won't the shorter antenna lead to slightly worse FM reception?  If so, I can't do it because I live in the middle of nowhere and have a hard enough time pulling in stations.  And I'm not going with Satellite radio for some time.

I have a 14" shortie and have suffered no reception loss, if anything, it got a little better!

Indeed, it looks great. I didn't think CDC was making that hood scoop any more. I like how you carried the black over the top and back to the rear of the car. Now you need the CDC classic shin spoiler on that baby. Good job and keep it up.

Lovin' the Black Chrome.......I wasn't aware that anyone was doing that again... The process was banned once upon a time supposedly because of the "toxic" chemicals used.
