So the car is my 95 GT I just bought with 185k on the clock. It was in pretty bad shape appearance wise and had a couple small mechanical issues. I will eventually make a thread of all I have done even tho it is nothing special really. Anyway, I still need to do interior pictures and stuff but this is just a teaser. Hopefully I took pics of the interior with everything painted red from the PO befor eI replaced with all black original style parts. I have done lots of odd and ends like installing new oem mach 460 speakers to replace blown ones and an explorer intake to replace the cracked one and lots of other small things. The car will be a DD for the next coupel years most likely. Then maybe a all new motor build and new tranny! When I got her the clear coat was litterally blowing off in the wind and the car looked pink. I am still not a huge fan of the 10th anniv cobra wheel but they are growing on me. I'll have to post night time pics of my HIDs too. Look awesome. all these were taken with Iphone 4 and a Galaxy s3. I will have lots of before and after pics from my Nikon SLR before too long :)

Looks great man! I agree, I think the wheels look good on there. I've been wanting a set of them in chrome for my car.

Thanks guys! Glad to not hear any bashings yet for changing the tail lights lol. I just don't care for the horizontals on mine. I like seeing them on most others but on mine I can't seem to like them. The shop even painted them to look nice but the actual lens is in rough shape and I don't feel like dealing with it right now lol. The wheels are starting to grow on me, it helps that I NEVER seem to see them anywhere else :) I still gotta put the new emblems on. I have matte black 11+ 5.0 emblems but can't put them on. The shop installed one of the old factory emblems after I said not to with some liquid 3m glue and it etched into the paint underneath and it'll show behind the new emblems. so I just ordered new stockers. Got a good bit of small things to do still.

True man! I got TONS of rubbing compound to get off and I had overspray on my gas tank and tail pipes I had to paint or scrub off but it's getting there! The hardest compound to get off is the mesh screen on the damn hood vents. Doesn't help I can't use quick detailer and shit yet.
