Dont mind the dirt and the fact the sideskirts are not on the car. It was finally nice enough out to actually take the car out of the garage.

Long to do list next spring.

1 - Reinstall sideskirts with new install kit
2 - Installl new decals
3 - Have the exhaust rear section fabbed up to fit the corsa mufflers.

Niches look great. I was looking at the Milans before I found my current set. I like how they look somewhat like the classic Saleen 5 spokes. I am also very interested in how you do your exhaust using Corsas. Are you keeping the center exits functional? I'm still trying to find a way to get more sound than the stock Saleen Magnaflow set-up; but I want to keep the center exits functional. I have been considering electric cut-outs.

I bought the Niche because I like the look of a simple 5 spoke wheel and they were running a helluva good deal on American Muscle. Couldnt pass it up. Has mickey thompson 305/30/20 on rear and 275/35/20 on front for tires. Man it needs to warm up, I want to drive it.

As far as the exhaust I kept the tips but my stock mufflers were shot. One had a hole in it. My plan is to Y off the exhaust after each muffler and sort of like stock have one dump and then bring the other sides together and keep the center exhaust functional. I just need to get a shop in my area who can mandrel bend pipe. Right now they are stock corsas with the tips cut off. I am not sure if I want to use the saleen tips or the corsa tips on the custom rear section. Not sure.

D1984,

That looks awesome man. :thumb2:

Hey what size wheels & tires are under your Stang ???
I can't really tell but do the rear tires stick outside the rear-wheel-wells ?
Or are they right in-line with the rear fender lips looking straight down ?
Would you mind doing a few pics from the rear so I can see how those rear tires look to the fenders ?

thanks, they are 19x10 in the rear with 275/40s. they sit a little inside of the wheel wells. i want to eventually run a 295 and i think that will be flush. as you can sort of see in this pictures i posted a week ago, even the GT500 splash guards stick out further than the tires.

the fronts are 19x8.5 with 245/45s and i think i can run maybe a 265 or 275 up there and it would be flush

Thank-You sir.
I have a set of M/T Street Comp tires to go on my M/T SC-5 wheels.
In the rear the tires will be 305/35/20's on 10.5" wheels.
That's why I wondered where your tires set in comparison to the fenders.

Thanks again,
Terry

Thanks. This guy did Corsas with no y-pipe. Everything thru the Saleen centers. Sounds good; but wondering if that would affect performance.

The potential is real! The wheels and colors are perfect bro. Lower it!!!



The city shut down yesterday due to ice, so I quickly became bored and finished up my chrome delete project on my dash. Looks a lot less cheesy without the chrome bezels, but it still looks pretty retro miami porno-ish :boobies:

Wow, that looks great! Did you use clear plastidip for the bezels?

I was gonna do clear plastidip, but then I thought nahhhh, that's going to feel weird when people turn the vents.

So

I.. ahem, used several.... green.... scotch-brite pads on them. It takes a pretty long time, but I just followed the direction of the curves and kept going until the reflection was completely distorted. Turned out really good even in person.
