Default Custom 2005 GXP work, drawings, and pics...
Seat logo was designed by my dad for anyone that may want to get their headrests embroidered (Yes I realize we are 325ci but close enough for me, and a friend of my dad's may bore me out anyway). He also did car drawings. Car is being painted Midnight Grey metallic faded to Titanium Grey metallic on the top still silver on bottom. Drawings mostly concur with what will be done. Couple of wheels choices at the bottom 8.5 front 9.5 rear offset. Putting the shift kit in so not sure about 20s plus going with Intrax springs (1.8 front 2.2 rear). Valor radio done, Powerbass 1200watt amp 2 10s, debadged (no more Pontiac or V8 on back) GXP logos being airbrushed on, getting engine cover and fusebox smoothed, how do i get the strut tower brace? Muffler delete SLP Loudmouth resonator (actually for new Mustang) and SLP tips,. More to come and I will keep you up to date. Sponsored by Enerpulse Powerpulse Plugs got a set of $200 plugs FREE (keep you up to date on dyno runs before and after the plugs). and that's where the money goes!!! Can't die with it!!!

Dude I'm jealous as hell! Looks good and keep us posted I'm interested in your dyno results.
How do I get my headrests done up like that, and how much?

All good as I may massage the internals to match the numbers. It's close enough for me (I tell all the guys at the shows its a 325, and even the old heads said you might as well call it a 327!!!)

Why not? Umpteen million Mustang owners went around with "5.0" emblems on their 4.9L engines. GM called their 402 a 396 for a spell, lots of other examples out there. Just don't be surprised when people call you out on it. Lot of people will use the tiny info they know to try to show you up.
