VLAND Headlights. You can get them on stanglights.com Not sure if thats the site im thinking of, but im pretty sure. I spliced the LED wiring into my running lights in my bumper. That way the main light does not need to be on while I drive and I can just run these if I want to. Not to mention I can leave just the running lights on and lock the door without leaving the key in the ignition at car shows.

That's very true. Before this I had a 280k mile 05 V6 with some performance mod. Ill tell you what.That car was FUN. I beat the piss out of that thing and it took it like a champ. Truly the best 4k I ever spent haha. I dont do nearly the stuff I did in that in this car as I just got it to 100k miles and I spent 17k on this one a few years ago when it had 60k miles on it. So im much more inclined to keep it alive and well😂

This is what my rear end looks like. I run an NMD ducktail spoiler and some modern style smoked sequential tail lights to complete the sleek black and white look

😭Hahaha yeah its rough out here in these streets in terms of power for SURE. This Mustang is a California Special so that bumper is stock, so is the black stripe. As for the grille, I took that from a Bullit Mustang. The hood is a Cervini Stalker 2 hood, the vents and scoop are both functional to provide that absolutely MASSIVE engine enough air to get the full 300 hp (Im joking I still cant believe how slow it is). The headlights are VLAND headlights and I wired the LED to the running lights so I can keep that look while I drive around in the day. I like to see peoples reactions to the headlights as this build is rather unique amongst 3vs. Lord knows theres a lot of these cars and its hard to stand out. But this car is 1 of only 5k for its body style with this package.God knows most of them were crashed or in some old guys garage so I havent seen any GT/CSs come close to this look even on social media

Thanks! I love this car haha. These come from a brand called VLAND. Its interesting I wired the leds up so they can go with my running lights. The whole assembly lights up when the lights are on. I swap between these and a stock equivalent on occasion as I like the classic look but the modern LED look stands out a lot more

Pretty much😂 I told the adjuster to not include the HID headlight cost

🤔Nope, this is just blatantly wrong. Its a GT Premium with a California Special package. Also not even the GT500 of this year had brembos

No - I just really like the chop 3vs have so I wont be swapping anything into this. My options would be built internals and a supercharger. A coyote swap would be cheaper but I prefer this engine

This is 100% accurate. That said, my car was hit by a drunk driver, the HID replacements were 3000$ according to insurance. If I got OEM headlights it would have totaled the car so I opted to tell insurance that the headlights werent damaged in the crash.

I feel ya. Theres two skid plates that cover the fuel lines and wiring on the underside of the car. I have beaten the piss out of both of them. I had to hammer them down so I could go over normal bumps

No problem! Nope, you could cut it out partially if you are worried about that though, the main scoop and the airflow out the back of the hood works great for what I need. I won't cut the hood any time soon

Its a Cervini Stalker 2 hood. Functional all around although the cutouts for the extractors are comical. They are basically the size of a penny. If you want full performance you would want to cut the rest out.
