Thanks for all of the compliments. 
Well the hood scoop doesn't bother me too bad, I like it better than nothing. I'd love to lower the front too but it just can't happen. I am ALMOST scrapping right now going in driveways with a slight incline. I'd love for it to look amazing but I'm not going to do away with functionality.
Once the Whipple goes on, I'll be getting a set of 20x10s, same wheels, with Nitto 555s for the street. I'm not too worried about weight of the wheels with the Whipple on the streets. I'll get another pair of wheels with drag radials for the rear and use the stock wheels for the front.
Everyone always ask but no I really don't. I'm loving every minute of this car, I actually want to drive it ALL the time.

When you just level out the back that should actually raise the chin up just a little due to pivoting, although not by much but every little bit helps.
Also just incase you get tired of those heavy AR 20's you should look up CCW and Fikse wheel. They are both top notch and will get rid of a lot of rotating mass.

I'm dropping the rear, like I said.

The whipple will be sweet, on the street it would make want to take my car home and put a pro-charger on it.

Nice! Post some pics of the painted pony emblems, I'm not sure what that is. The cowl hoods look mean on the new mustangs, that's what I'd go for. Any sound clips of the exhaust? I have never heard the mustang at WOT much.
Here is my new toy. I don't even like driving my truck anymore. I think it's going to help me get over the work I've put into it, and parting ways. No idea what I'll get next.

Looks great...keep the mods driver friendly and enjoy the hell out of it! I plan to get one of the first Z28s when they come out and want to go with a very simular set up....black on black with black wheels. (The only thing is I wont ever drive it! )
You made the right choice staying away from the vert...they do weigh more and with the top down they handle like crap (at least my WS6 did). Its not from body flex or anything, but rather the added weight of the top behind the rear wheels threw the balance way off. They look awsome but thats it. Too bad you cant get T-Tops in a Stang!
