Sweet! I'm a fan of Toyo. I like their tires, a lot. What size tire did you go with?

Cool! Looks great!

How does the Ford Racing exhaust compare to stock? Is it axleback or catback?

The FRPP exhaust is a big difference compared to stock, it really makes the car come alive, they are axle backs. They are a complete bolt on exhaust and took about an hour or so to install.

I find the stock to have a rich tone and I am happy with them.

By contasts I felt the '03 / '04s needed enhancement, so I went with Borlas, which I believe manufacture the Ford Racing version. Do you find yours loud or would you consider them confortable enough to enjoy the tones as well as music if you so choose?

I find the exhaust to be comfortable, I can still hear the radio and be loud enough that people turn around and look, perfect.

one more thing
I love how with no stripes you really notice the faint line that runs down the middle of the car (on hood and front bumper)
Im sure there is a more technical term but it looks bad ass, and reminds me of the old stangs

Looks great...Just a FYI..the Toyo T1R's (have them on my M3..see sig) are a little greasy for the first 500 miles as the tires come with some chemical to get them out of the mold and protect them during shipping. Be careful...

No need to worry about them being greasy, I took care of that problem :burnout:

Do you have any rubbing up front with the wider tires????

I have no rubbing issues at all. I have 275's in the front and there is about a 1/4 of an inch clearance between the shock and the tire, and no rubbing when I turn the tires all the way in either direction.

You are correct, the center caps do not fit on the new wheels. I think I have to use the SVT caps from a 17" wheel instead. I am going to see if my friends cap fit off of his 04 Cobra.
