Rotors on GT's are so tiny. Looks much better though.

If you're gonna spray the fenderwells you should also spray the dust shields black while youre in there.

dude you have done a lot of good help with your little bro's ride. My bro witch is older doesn't have a clue on builing cars. car is looking good.

Thanks man! It really has come a long way but it is no where near done! It's all good as long as he is willing to give you an extra set of hands when needed. :thumbsup:

Nice dudes. New brakes and fresh paint calipers really transform the look of the car, than add the fr500s, damn lol. I agree about the 245/45/17s being way too tucked in, I want some 295s or somethin lol. Cars comin along anyways, you plan on lowering it?

Any chance to change the wheels on these cars completely changes them lol its crazy. It really is way too sucked in and this car will be getting some 1-1.5 inch spacers for the rear to even it out with the fender. It will get lowered but probably not until my little bro can start driving as it will be my dad's DD and hes not too crazy about how lowered cars ride:D

Yup. It was like I got a new car when I got my Saleens. I almost regret changing the stock wheels though, this vibration is driving me absolutely nuts. 1.5'' spacers would make the rears sit right no doubt. Haha I don't blame your dad, with the right shocks & struts when its lowered it won't be too bad lol

That's exactly what I said when we put those FR500s on his car, all I want to do is lower this car though cause it would look straight nasty sittin on those wheels. But its not my car so my say can only do so much.

he has a mustang but cant drive? jeeze aha

Yeah man we got it for free from a family friend who bought a new 2012 GT, the only reason we started this project early is from my dad wanting to DD it since his 89 GT is alittle much to just run errands with:grin:

glad you ditched those spacers. the non-hub-centric spacers like that eat yo' bearings, yo!

Yeah I have heard that lol, I believe they are .25 or .5" spacers and I couldn't even get the lug nuts to thread on so I didnt really even have a choice. But either way they are off and Im on the hunt for some 1" or more spacers cause his sucked in like a nipple rear is killing me:angry7:

Yeah the stock antenna is too long in my opinion for the style of the mustang. The original emblems on their look too retro for what I like. So I think they were two very needed body upgrades.
