Like the title says, I have already coined a name for my Shelby GT500. I plan on making a one of a kind unique build with my GT500 similar to what I did with my jeep. I have already determined my color scheme and have started gathering parts for the first phase of modification. All work is being done at DCCustoms with the help of Dan, Chad (CMN1), Matt (GlorySends), Eric (Ekaz), Tim (BullsF####), myself and anyone else who helps out here and there. I am very greatful for all the help provided and would like to say thank you ahead of time. Now onto the fun part:

I have decided to go with a murdered look (no surprise) on the exterior with a few touches of Flash Blue. The work being done includes:
For this first stage of performance, I was looking to purchase a good package of supporting mods which could help my Mustang produce more boost and breathe better without going into the motor. Others who have added the same mods to their Mustang have dynoed on mustang dynos at anywhere in between 700/720WHP and 750/765TQ. The stock GT500 puts down roughly 612WHP and 625TQ and therefore this combination proves to bring a 100HP/TQ + or - gain. Mods include the following:
CAI:
10% OD Belt / SCT Tuner / Spark Plugs / Thump Racing Belt Tensioner:
Flash Blue paint which matches the half covers:
CF Oil Separator:
Short Throw Shifter:
Traction:
In order to counteract the poor traction with this TQ heavy RWD beast, I have already swapped out my rear tires from the stock crapyears (285/35/20) to Michelin Pilot Super Sports (295/35/20).

Exterior:
I have decided to go with a murdered look (no surprise) on the exterior with a few touches of Flash Blue. The work being done includes:
- Tinted red and amber reflectors.
- DCSpecial headlights with chrome delete and the addition of blue LED's.
- Flash Blue caliper paint purchased from g2usa
- Current Half Covers are already a very similar color to Flash Blue. In due time I will be painting pieces black and blue to make it look nice and bedazzled :grinbiginvert:
- The dash and mood lighting is set as blue.
- The picture on the head unit is a picture of a Black Mamba.
