That is one very classy car! Great work on keeping it subtle!

Not sure what to think about the hood, part of me says it looks great, but part of me doesn't like the fact that it has the heat extractor portion AND the side vents.. For me it would be kind of like an either/or kind of option.

PS. I love the stock split spokes, they're the best looking production wheel that Ford made up until some of the later S197 wheels that have come along. I think widening it would be absolutely AWESOME, DO IT!!!

Thanks man..yeah I feel the same as you on the hood. When I ordered it, the picture online had ONLY the heat extractors, and not the side vents, but then I got it and I had to go searching for the vents to go in the openings. I did try to get they guy who painted it to fiberglass the holes, but it was going to cost too much. And the wheels, I'm really considering it after all the good feedback ya'll have been giving me on them!

Looks beauty with the upgrades to the hood and spoiler! I too love the split spokes - looks like your sporting wheel adapters to push out those bad boys, yes? I held on to my splitters and mounted 275/40 DRs on the rears along with the wheel adapters, they fill out the rear fenders very nicely if your looking to save some bucks on the widening but still get the effect.

It just sucks that there 17x8, if they were 17x10.5's it would be awesome.

 

[jmstang66]

completely agree jerzey...cant decide if i want to widen them ($$$) or just get some bronze anniversary cobras from late model...

 

[MustangChris]

[jmstang66]

^hahah well the speedometer/odometer/tripometer all quit right at around 129K...so after all she's been through that is the only thing wrong with her..i guess i can't complain

leave the split spokes, they make your car different and go great with the rest of the car. sweet ride!

I've always liked those rims, I bought a set years ago for $50 and had to sell them so I could move. Never made it on the car and sold them for $75 . Personally speaking you would be wasting $$ changing rims, they flow way to good with what you have going on. If I had room for those rims I would have kept them and been done with it. Car looks fantastic man good job.

keep the Splitspokes, your car is the reason i looked specifically for them

I love those wheels too, ford did something right with stock wheels once upon a time. They're 17x8 right? Just outa curiosity when size tires are on it? Stock 245's?
