Looks great!! :rockon::rockon:

I emailed the seller on Ebay about the weight of the wheels. He replied that they were 37 pounds each! :eek:

37lbs each, holy hell, that's a lot of rotating mass.:rolling:

awesome Carl!! This is Scott, had the black Mach 1 when I went to N.C. State, I detailed your lightning at Fastlane that day?

I like the front end; did you have to buy that foglight kit seperately or was that a factory option? If/When I get a 2011 GT, I am definitely adding on that Roush grille, looks killer.
Thanks Scott! Yeah I remember, you did a damn good job on the Lightning. It's actually a Saleen grille, but the Roush grille is similar. The lower valance and fog lights were a whole kit from Ford, it's the California Special lower valance kit.
WOW, looks near perfect. imho a 2011 Shelby GT500 spoiler would put it over the top
So clean and simple but done the right way, real talk !!!
Thanks! I'm still on the fence on a spoiler, the GT500 is on the list, but I kinda like the Roush one too. We'll see what happens.
Looks great!! :rockon::rockon:

Honestly they didn't feel that heavy, I think that may be the shipping weight instead of the actual weight. I should have weighed them before I put them on, but I didn't care too much either.

Best looking '11 GT I have seen so far. The front end looks really good as well as the wheels

i agree... i love what you did with the GT/CS valance and the saleen grill. along with the chrome saleen extreme wheels. this has been my plan for my car since i bought it... just waiting for the holidays to be over to see how much money i have left after the wife is done buying christmas presents, lol...

Looks good now but I think with tinted windows it would look alot better. Speaking of wheel weights anyone know how much factory 18" wheel that comes on the base gt weighs?

I have 35% all the way around, just hard to tell in the pictures. Probably should have gone 20% instead, oh well.
