Project Vader started

I'm surprised Kirk hasn't put a GT500 kit on his yet.

Will this kit work? It's Ford Racing part #M-2300-S, 2005-2010 MUSTANG GT 14" BRAKE UPGRADE KIT. The link: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=9540



The kit also comes with SVT rear pads and brake lines. Will those also work?

at 14", are the stock brakes on the SHO from the truck line?

Its like taxes man, wait for it because you know its coming. 1/4 mile is fun but to measure a true fast car is to add corners. I have no doubt that when I find you on a road course that there will be yellow fluid coming from center left of your car.

Ill be the one eating doritios with one hand and waving with the other.

bwaaa, going fast around corners i might spill my drink lol

Take a closer look at the truck line of brakes. They should be larger than 14" since you can only use 18" and larger on most of those trucks any way. And talk about a loss in horsepower, slap some of those heavy ass truck brakes on our SHOs and see what happens. And why doesn't someone cough up the $1,500.00 and do a test fit on their "new" SHO and let us know if they'll fit?? :swing:

as I stated in another thread, the Front pads are from the 06+ explorer.

not sure if the other parts are explorer or not.

The stock rotors on the SHO are 12.8".

Nice work. What else you got in the work?

I like the way it looks. But I think I would have done one or the other, either blacked out the trim or taillights. The rear looks huge from stock.

Personally I would like to see some taillights similar to the mazda 6. The basic outside shape of the lens is fine but have the inside of the lens round.

I like that. I do not think doing my Silver one like that would look that good. What do you all think?

I would have to agree with you. The lighter colors may look odd, but it would be interesting to see what it would look like. I want to do something with the rear chrome, but then again, I like the chrome around the rear lights. There are just too many darn choices to what needs to be done. I DO know I want to paint the body cladding, and BAD! That black trim still has not grown on me in 7 months, I doubt it ever will. As anyone heard of what the Ingot Silver paint is going for per quart??

I have been on the fence about smoking out lenses on my silver one too.

There are FILM types that can be removed but IIRC Bill's are painted

Way to go, nice and clean!

Looks good!

I would get the stock SLO taillights without the chrome, and do the Kirk front end & grill treatment.

I already traded out the SHO taillights for a set of slo taillights. Then I had them tinted. I also traded out the front side marker light surrounds for a set of slo textured black ones.. I am going to get the front grill done as well as powder coat the wheels black at the same time. She should look pretty good by then..
Just need some more money and some time to get it done...

Nice work! I cant wait to see what it will look like with the grill and the wheels done.
