Picture my Alloy GT, with the Agent 47 upper grill, Steeda cowl hood, and Saleen's rear. Put with the Saleen words filled in on the bumper.

For wheels, probably the Ford 18" Black bullitt's. And the car would be lowered with the FRPP handeling pack.

Would this look good?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, obviously... I'm looking at the same grill and hood, but I'm personally not a fan of the Saleen body. If you're not building a Saleen-based car, I wouldn't fill in the letters, either. Oh, wait... are you filling them with paint or bondo? Eliminating the Saleen lettering could be pretty cool...

Are you looking for an understated look, or a more in-your-face look? The Ford Bullitt rims are nice, but will be a bit on the narrow side if you ask me. Once you drop the car, and the 4x4 look is gone, the factory rims are going to be tucked into the fenders quite a ways from a visual point of view. Personally, I would opt for some wider wheels (or lower offset) to help fill the fenderwells. From all reports, you should be pretty happy with the FRPP suspension. I went with BMR and Tokico, but yours should work nicely.

Also, fix the link to your mods page...

Black wheels generally look good on alloy. I had a set of FR500's in black on my Alloy GT, but they were from my '01 GT vert, so the offset/backspacing was all wrong (they stuck out of the fender).

The Saleen rear may not mix well though. I'd make sure it wasn't going to be TOO big of a difference on the height from the ground to the body. You know what I mean?

What's disturbing is that you guys have "hot" links to these pictures.

You don't think I would host those things, do you??? :sick:

I probably wont get the Saleen bumper due to I'd have to change my exhaust.

I am not changing my back bumper, but if I were, I would look for a trim piece to add. Rouch, Steeda, 3D Carbon all make nice looking add-ons IMO

i think black rims look will look great on your car...however check these out before you purchase the stock bullitt style http://www.evoperform.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=309


Those look sick! My car is white with black acc...Wonder how something like that would look on my ride...

Steeda's wheel display tool doesn't do their wheels much justice.

My eyes, they hurt, stop with the nasty pic posting before I puke! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

:clap: Mission accomplished!!! :roflmao:

HAHA to the pictures!!!

I wouldn't touch the SALEEN bumper. Our cars don't need center exhaust anyways(for the ones who know about center exhaust) Your paying for the name and thats it.

If anything.... the cervini side exhaust kit. All together chepaer and looks so much better!!! If it wasn't for my subframe connectors I would have done that.

Ford Racing handling pack is a waste for the money. Buy better like Bilstien and HnR Springs. A LOT better handling with those.
