Boss It Up!
I have been looking to buy a '12 Boss 302 (had one on order, let it go because no $$ from a sale of the Bullitt that didn't go through), thought about buying back my Mach ($$ I didn't want to go back into debt), so to make my 2010 daily driver "new", I made a few appearance changes.
Performance-wise, I don't plan to change the engine but hope to make a mild change to the brakes (up the front rotor size, stiffer brake hoses) and exhaust (would love a quad set-up like the Boss, speculated that Ford Racing is adapting one from it to the '05-'10 GTs). The older I get, the cheaper I get...

Re: Boss It Up!
Nice job! I like how you put the C-stripes without Boss 302

Re: Boss It Up!
You need some black Laguna Seca wheels. I can't tell from the pictures but is the roof painted/vinyled gloss black?
Just for inspiration and for drooling purposes. |

This would have been my second color choice, right behind competition orange. The contrast looks great, and, of course, that little engine is kind of nifty also...

Re: Boss It Up!
This morning I provided a rear black spoiler from a '12 Boss 302 and Ford decklid blackout decal to a local body shop. When the car was returned, I wound up with the spoiler on but the decal replaced with a custom gloss black decal. The body person had trouble with the Ford decal and crumpled it. They offered to replace it at cost with another decal but did not have matte black color available. I took the gloss black one and will see how I like it. If it doesn't do it for me, I am going to get the area painted in a matte black color.
I had been holding off on making these changes, thinking I might let this car go for a Boss 302, but I am "committed" now Interestingly, the look is reminiscent of the gloss black 2013 decklid. This casual photographer had a hard time in the lower light of the later evening capturing the essence of the sterling grey and black contrast. I need to try again tomorrow at an earlier time. Lastly, absolutely none of the decals are a 100% match of the Ford versions. This is possibly "good car karma", wherein the GT has a look inspired by but not a clone of the Boss 302. Thinking about an axleback exhaust now!

Re: Boss It Up!
yeap looks really nice and really just can't tell a diff, unless you look at the rims and i think once you get the boss rims on there or just a diff rim, its going to be hard to tell the diff to the normal eye. i think the black would look great on the roof, it will go with the theme you got going

Re: Boss It Up!
Im not a fan of changing wheels but I think thats what it needs to really make it pop. And its missing some.....'GRRRR'. Car looks great though, nice job.
I never try to a bunch of changes at once. Its kinda like you miss out on the enjoyment of each mod. Post the pics up when you get the wheels. There are 2 Bosses within 30 miles of me. I m trying really hard to stay away. |
