I like the first one, a little less saturation would help. The fifth looks good too

That saturation is really very minimal. I edited the levels a bit in photoshop and that's where I liked it best.

looks super nice. but whats up with the lip?

It's a GT500 lip.

red car+black wheels...one of the best color combos......good job bro....+1000 on that lip....get rid of it,looks like it's part of a really crappy hyundai body kit LOL

Again, GT500 lip. Maybe you're right, I should get rid of it. Or maybe you could lose the cobra fender badges... I dunno.

Looks great. What size tires??

305/40/18 on the rear
255/45/18 on the front.

Suspension is very basic. Sportline springs, CHE anti-squat brackets, BMR adj panhard bar. Tire size in front is 255/45/18. The rears are 305/40/18 Nitto 555R drag radials.

Looks great! What is your offset on the rear wheels?

I personally think that is the perfect tire/wheel size for a S197. I've got the same fronts and have the 305/40 DR's on order.

Thanks for the pics, looks awesome.

DKO are you using the s197 offset set up or the +22mm 99-04 offset? I can't tell. Seems to me like it is the S197 offset (45mm? I think). The reason i ask is because i use the 22mm offset with 285 tires, and i am wondering what a 305/35/18 would look like.


Car looks great by the way. I was going to go fr500s and powder coat them black a while back, but instead I went with saleens in black. Nice to see what they would have looked like.

I am about to spend $600 and get a set of fr500s, and paint them black. That was my plan from the begining, and instead i went with the saleen. If i do get them i'll get them with the 99-04 offset like my saleens. The 18x10s with the 99-04 offset actually have a slightly larger lip, and the spokes go deeper into the wheel. I am debaiting. Saleens or fr500s???????

07caliGTstang- I would go flat black. Black chrome does look really nice though, but I am going for more of a stealth military look.
do you have any pics you could post i would like to see more of the fr500.
Dko , you too man, if you have any new pics please post.
