Heres the basics:
20" Boyd F09 Powder Coated Ford Black. 20 x 8.5 front / 20 x 10 rear
Magnaflow axle-back
Eibach Pro Suspension kit
I'm a member over at Stangnet.com; User: 05 BLK-BLK. There might be some more pics over there...
Basically, its just the Eibach suspension kit which lowered the car 1-1.5" and the 20" Boyds that set it off.

That Denali has got to be one of the best running Denalis i've come across. We were about an even match with my last truck: 5.4 ,chip, intake,exhaust, gears. Even when I had my procharger, he put up a good match......until I got it dyno tuned.
Everyone is quick to bash GMCs, but they sure put up one hell of a race.

I still wish you would have gone with black 20's

I thought the comparison was between your Denali and the Honda Civic... And as far as your GM product being excellent at 90K, make sure you hold onto it, cause they aren't all like that, believe me. I bought a Ford cause I was tired of fixing the GM's I've had (ready for the 3rd engine at 82K)... What a great decision I made there...
As far as your Stang...it looks great...you have any trouble shifting? (I assume you got the 5spd...) The one I test drove wouldn't go into 3rd without a fight, and all I've read says the trannies are excellent. I'd like to think I just test drove a lemon...

I'm not a happy camper as far as my Ford is concerned...

82K miles and a 3rd Engine? What year vehicle and engine was this? That definetly sounds like a lemon

Not that it matters now after all you brainiacs have argued this to death already, but my old PowerStroke benefitted greatly starting around 2000 RPM as the turbo came up. Actually made passing people a fun thing, because that turbo's whine and the lurch of the truck as that turbo kicked in was addicting. That baby had about 3 times the ***** that this anemic 5.4 3V has.
Still, I think that it would be more beneficial to add a Super Charger rather than a Turbo. But that is just my opinion.

Nice to hear about the Mustang. I guess I musta drove a POS... Notchy's fine, better than vague (my bro had a '90 Plymouth Laser...couldn't tell what gear you were in...) I learned on a '85 Pontiac Grand Am with a stick...it had a bad clutch when I bought it, so the clutch slip made it nice and smooth, like I knew what I was doing...then I drove a real stick. Whoah, can you say whiplash?
Yeah...the 82K truck was a 1990 Chevy fullsize (My last GM product)...had the baby V-8 (305). First engine went out at 38K, had to scream bloody murder to get in under warranty (block had warped, drank coolant faster than I could dump it in) Same thing happened at 82K...got a 1993 Toyota truck, had 250K trouble free miles (put one clutch in, it still had orig water pump, alternator, etc.) Gave that to a friend who needed wheels and got my Ford. The thing was fine until June-ish (only prob until then was the 4wd going out, one trip to dealer solved it) now it's shake, rattle, and roll. A friend who bought a 2004 F150 (after his new 04 Tahoe had a meltdown in a parking lot) loved it, talked me into buying it...he's had fewer problems in 49K than I have in 22K. I'm sure Ford'll figure it out...still sucks though.

Tony,
Out playing on the truck ... didn't notice the question ...
Of COURSE he got black ... The mustangs looks so nice in black. If I didn't have such a big truck that was tough to keep clean .. I would have bought a black truck !!
After he does some nice stuff to his GT .. I will forward some pictures to you. In my gallery, you can see the Mazda RX 8 that he did ... turns heads everywhere we go and I'm hoping he does something as nice with the new Mustang.
