I used Window's picture it for the effects. There are some that you can get, apps wise, for a smart phone to do with out ever moving it to a desktop.
Thanks for the feed back I am looking at some retro rear louvers that are so close to the ones on the 70 car. They will be my next purchase.

Mike, How long have you had your car and how do you like it? Looks nice.

I bought it in 2009 on New years Eve. I have owned many Mustangs (6)from 67 to 70 in the form of coupes, fast backs ,and a very nice original Mach 1 (351 4V Cleveland) and this by far is the best handling live rear axel car I have ever driven. The interior is crazy comfort and I thought I would never have the feel of the ol M1 seats in the 70 again. Its Shaker Sound system is great and the HP is amazing with the 5 speed manual- simply tire crushing. It still has the inherent problems with the "fast back" style being a mobile green house so Louvers are a must. Luckily there is plenty of after market parts to make this very popular car stand out. I just hate seeing the GT of 2011 come out with 410 HP almost 100 more than a stock one like mine did. But that is progress and Ford has done it again.

Looks good Mike! Nice seeing you coming around!! Wink You ever consider going with the shaker hood scoop? Not only does it add a classic look it also adds a few more ponies!
This is my 2006 GT I just traded in for a 2010 GT. Probably going to do the same thing to the 2010, just not 100% sure yet since I really would rather have a 2011-2012 5.0. Might keep my 2010 pretty stock just so I dont dump money into it and then dump it in a year like I seem to keep doing. SCo_hmmthink

Yes I have a thing for silver Jam the 06 was Tungsten Gray and my 10 is Sterling Grey Metallic

Great looking GT. I bought the Shock tower brace to stiffin the front end up and it would be in the way of the shaker but I definitely like the look of it. But I probably will go with the cold air kit to grab the intake ponies. Question is there a notable shake when the engine is running? Still would be an awesome addition. Hummmmmm

We have two of the 04 Mach 1's and the "shake" is not as pronounced at idle as the original shakers as the new engines idle a lot smoother, but when you accelerate you can definitely see the torque on the shaker. The real shaker gets a lot of attention too at any speed!
