I love the look of the no fog lights and a billet grille. Wheels look good too

DAMN!!


yeah OP, next thing the car should get is a drop with new shocks/struts. Also, I say do the boss lower splitter while you're at it. It's inexpensive and makes the front end look even more bad ass.

How much do the '13 headlights cost?

Not sure. This a 2012 with factory hid option.

I actually like these I little more then the 2013 hid lights.

On the drop comments. I like the ride quality and I don't personally think it needs the drop. The only thing I do wish in the ride feel I wish it didn't feel so floaty at higher speeds. Maybe look at getting boss ford racing suspension.

Well, if you plan on getting the FR suspension, or any suspension for than matter, the drop is inevitable. The springs you choose will determine how much of a drop...

are those 19x9 all the way around or do you have 19x10 in the rear?

It's the SVTPP pack off at GT500.

20's in the back and 19's in the front. Not 100% sure on the widths.

They are 9.5" wide.

It needs a drop.

I have pretty much the same car/wheel combo but with the Steeda sport springs. Just too much space between the tire/wheel well in rear with the stock springs.

^OK wasn't sure because you can buy them through ford racing in either 19x9 or 19x10 (according to 50resto.com), not sure about 20s through for racing. Now the actual take-off SVTPP wheels from a shelby maybe be 9.5 wide but I'm not sure

 

[TheVikingRL]

You can only buy 19" from Ford Racing in 9" or 10" widths. I suspect they cannot offer the exact same part as Ford does on a production vehicle. As mentioned, the SVTPP wheels are all 9.5" even though tires are staggered.

The right springs/shocks and struts will not compromise ride comfort. This was actually a big priority for me as mine is used for long commutes. I talked with sam strano and he directed me to the steeda sport springs and either the koni sports or STR.T shocks and struts.

My company I work for owns Koni so I got a pretty deep employee discount and used that to get the adjustable sport shocks/struts and set them to the softest setting. Otherwise, I'd have gotten the STR.T's which are non adjustable.

Once you put them on, you'll tell yourself (just like several other guys who have ridden/driven my car) this is how the car should have felt from the factory.

The comfort of highway and city driving is still there but it negotiates bumps much better in terms of reduced bounciness and the back end isn't as floaty or mushy when pushed hard in corners. It stays flatter and more planted/controllable/predictable.


Also it delivers a really nice stance.

Looks AWESOME!!! Love the look of the SVTPP wheels on your ride. Sets it off just right.
