lower and take off the pony badges and bring down the 5.0 a little and it would look great.

I agree. The 5.0 badge is sitting too high on the fender and looks out of place with the pony badge below it.

The wheels look like OE Wheels Cobra-R replica's. They arent bad wheels. I've had several sets through them. But on the ones I had with the bullets in the wheels they tend to rust after about 2 yrs. I wont get any more with the little bullets that fake the 2 piece wheel look for that reason.

Looks like it used to be a 6 cylinder car. They make dropping a 5.0 in easier than the 4.6 cars do. K-member doesnt have to be changed or modified. The 7.5 rear should be ok on the street. They dont have posi so no real risk of breaking an axle.

I would definitely work on the stance. They do sit a little tall from the factory. They car will handle much better lowered with stiffer springs. I've found that the H&R sport springs and the Eibach Pro springs give lower the car with out killing the ride. The Eibach Sportline springs will drop it very low. I've tried them also but I didnt like how stiff they were. Made for a very jarring ride over uneven pavement. If you are on a budget,.. you can cut a full ring off the front stock front springs and a half ring from the rear springs. I did that to an old 96 GT I had. I loved the stance. Very aggressive.

Springs, shorty antena, lose the rocker panel stripe and the pony badge. See how it looks from there and maybe you would want to put some fog lights in or a chin spoiler just dont like the 6 banger front clip. Just my .02 but its not worth much in this economy.
