Haha, all very valid points. To be 100% honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the way the flares sort of ended on the fronts when I first saw them either. The guy who made these (Sam Soto at Stage 3 performance) had plans to develop a front splitter with canards that sort of tie the whole front end together, we just didn't have time before SEMA to develop them. Its still a plan for him, but this look has kind of grown on me now, and I like it. I want to run a front splitter and machine my own canards, but I already have enough trouble with driveways as it is. hahah

As for the neon yellow, dont you DARE make fun of that col....just kidding. Every project I've built over the last few years had neon yellow as a theme, I definitely kicked it up a notch on this one though. haha. Without the stickers, it looks a little less extreme. The stickers are all coming off now that SEMA is over, and will be replaced with much more subtle ones.

Here are some shots of the car with my old stickers on it.

That sounds like a pretty interesting idea. I wonder how those would look. I tend to like all of the canards I have seen and am curious how they would look incorporated with the flares. In all honesty, I don't mind them on your car maybe because I know you went all out and actually went with wheels to fill up the entire space instead of spacers which just bugs me for some reason. Did you guys have to cut the fenders for these ones?

Have you thought about the Neon yellow mirror covers like in your drawing down below? It seems like it is very bottom heavy for lack of a better term with the wheel centers and the emblem and then all black above the belt line. The car looks 20x better with the matte black graphics though I must say haha.

Yeah, the car was in the body shop a lot longer than originally planned. We were going to do these stripes:

Unfortunately, I got the car back the Friday before SEMA and we were hitting the road Sunday morning and I still had a ton of things to button up. Its still on the list of things to do though. As for the stickers, I agree. I made them big on purpose, but plan on toning them down a bit now. The neon vinyl doesnt hold up well over time either, so Im still figuring out how to get around that when doing the stripe without having to peel the whole thing off when it gets faded. Probably just going to pinstripe the edges with it.

Oh hey, Nexen N3000's. That just screams, "I put all my money into ABS plastic and colorful wheels, fuck quality and traction!"

It's all about who's got the bigger ironing board stuck on the back of the car and who's got more rivets in their Bushwacker fender flares.

Screw things that matter, like quality and traction.

The company who makes these. Very popular on the GT86 model.

Hmmm I kind of like those, not sure how they would look on a Mustang though.

Well I mean provided the wing is the correct shape and is being aided by other kind of aero a bigger "ironing board" will provided you with increased traction. Something like a swan neck mount wing can provide even more benefits as opposed to the traditional style of wing mounted design. Not to mention those Bushwacker flares with the rivets and what not when done properly with a correct wheel on there will again increase traction. All of which can have a great quality to them despite somewhat of a unclean appearance.

S197forum members are defending and like huge riced out fender flares and ironing-board rear wings.

There are pigs flying around in a frozen Hell.
