Default Pics of my 06 GT

Some people asked so here are some larger pics of my 06 Mustang GT.

I have done the following modifications to it:

CT-R gunmetal 18x9/F 18x10/R wheels (Ford GT replicas)
Michelin Pilotsport PS2 tires 275/40/ rear 265/35/ front
H&R Super Sport springs (1.8" drop)
Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks
SLP Loudmouth muffle delete kit
BBK underdrive pulley
BBK cold air intake
SCT Livewire tuner using Brenspeed custom 91 octane tune
Steeda Tri-Ax short throw shifter and knob
GT floor mats
Redone trim on the interior, (different color)
Shorty antenna
GT500 rear spoiler
Custom painted front grill pony

I have auto crossed it a few times, it corners better than one would think given the "shoelaces-tied-together" suspension, but when the shocks are set to track stiffness it does pretty well. Plus the tires are exceptional, though at the time I had no idea how good they were, it was all Discount tire had at the time.

It's hand painted, and the place I was getting it from was only making one, so as far as I know. They aren't mass produced.

hate to be an A-Hole, Spiffu.. but could you proving some sort of custom shot.... be it the owners manual open to some random page, or a paper with your internet handle on it.. we'd be greatly appreciative

I'll leave it open for another 8ish hours.... but after that, just pm me the picture

thanks (everybody has to follow the custom shot rules )

A little unconventional proof, but I'll take it

Hhhmm... a piece of paper with MotorWorld scrawled on it used to be the minimum requirment.... is this some Ford favouritism playing out?

no, the metadata imbeded in the photo is the proof

Code:
 File Name
     proof.jpg
Camera Model
     Canon PowerShot A610
Shooting Date/Time
     6/11/2008 9:06:35 PM
Tv( Shutter Speed )
     1/8
Av( Aperture Value )
     3.2
Image Size
     1600x1200
Flash
     On
File Size
     510 KB
vs original photo he posted

[code]

where the other photos had no metadata in them (save for web feature) ... so the fact he took it yesterday after I posted that we need proof... that is enough for me

12 hours off is common.
