That grill will really dress up the front end. I like it. I also love that spoiler. Hopefully the paint matches good.

I have never been a fan of body kits. I prefer the stock look and spending the money on making it faster. Even when I was into turboed ricer cars I used to leave them stock looking. The only thing I would do is lower my cars about 1.5". Your mustang looks great stock. Why fix something that isnt broke?

The stuff is painted by Roush so I'm sure it's going to be perfect.

To make it look how I want it to. Just like you upgraded them to perform like you wanted to. I've done all of that. It's hard enough trying to race Low Speed SCCA with a S197, try it with a lot of power and it's impossible.

From my experience with body kits back in the mid-late 90s they were usually fiberglass and would look crappy after about a month or two once it starts cracking. Are the kits your talking about made of the stock material?

Most of the stuff is made out of a high quality urethane. It has the ability to bend in all sorts of ways and pop right back. I'm not completely sure but I'm buying Roush parts. Not some mrbodykit.com body kit. If it was going to crack, it would of cracked on the countless numbers of Roush edition cars. So, no cracking here.

well in that case it should be OK. I just always think of body kits as fiberglass and crappy looking. I guess the high dollar ones are better than they used to be in the mid 90's.

Haha yeah much better. There is only maybe two body kits out of EVERY single body kit for the S197 Mustang that cracks like that. Needless to say they are horrible looking and usually no one buys them. I have seen a few retards buy them online and wonder why they were so cheap.

What was I thinking? A guy that posts as much as you do in the detailing section and is as OCD as you would never put something cheesy on his car.

I haven't go any of it but I've ordered everything but the rear bumper. Check out my other thread. Stay away UGM "Underground Mustangs". They will rip you off so bad.
