m4a1mustang's 5.0, S2000, and other cars thread

NewlyIMPORTed · 02-13-2012, 03:39 PM

yeah that fastback is a spoon top. If im not mistaken you lose all accessibility to the trunk with it. it is also over double the price of the black one.

Rooster89 · 02-13-2012, 03:39 PM

Great looking car steve! Needs gears :P

Not going to lie, I have never seen the fastback hardtop but i kinda like it

What has Mrs. Mustang said so far about it?

phelan · 02-13-2012, 03:40 PM

really? the whole trunk? it looks like it still has the ability to open...

m4a1mustang · 02-13-2012, 03:40 PM

This is the front lip (and splitter) we are looking at:

I pick her up from the airport tonight (hence the tape measures in the trunk), so we'll see. She likes S2Ks as well and has wanted one for a while, so I'm sure she'll like it.

If we do bring both cars to ZDayZ she will be piloting the S2K and I'll drive the 5.0. Still figuring out how much it will cost to get both cars ready, though.

phelan · 02-13-2012, 03:41 PM

i do not like that front splitter. looks too busy for the simple lines of the s2k.

keep it clean steve.

what about:

?

GM_Traitor3.5 · 02-13-2012, 03:41 PM

Ah that's not bad at all. Clean, but a hair more aggressive over the stock look.

actually now that I think about it you have to either not use the trunk or cut a hole in the trunk lid and keep it a coupe forever. You cant open that back part then open the trunk as well.

m4a1mustang · 02-13-2012, 03:44 PM

Phelan that's an AP1.

This is the lip (OEM) without the splitter. I think it is cleaner this way.

phelan · 02-13-2012, 03:44 PM

oh, oops, sorry. i'm not familiar with AP1 and AP2 differences. carry on!

m4a1mustang · 02-13-2012, 03:45 PM

More aggressive is the CR lip:

TheGreatOne · 02-13-2012, 03:45 PM

Nice pick up!

I have not had the pleasure of driving an S2000 (been a passenger) but wow did it handle, I could only imagine when actually driving it myself

Oh and I say go for the hardtop. Looks great

Not gonna lie, I think everybody likes s2ks. My duhmestic buddies even like them. And my girl too wanted me to get one. I have still been looking...but I think I am saving up for something with a little more compromise.

Who doesn't love a sportbike with doors? or a go kart with liscence plates?!

S2k=

CR lip looks a bit out of place, especially from that angle.
