 Sharp! Great color, too. Gives good contrast between the chrome and
the paint. Yep, the nose could come down a bit. That's the oem nose in
the air look Mustangs have. If you raise the rear, it would seem that
the rear wheels won't fill up the wells quite as nicely, and the front
will still retain that gap between the top of the tire and the rim of
the well.

I just wish there was some "before" pix to compare to the "after" pix. That
would give us a better idea of just how much it really lowered.

It looks ok to my non-expert eyes.
The "Mustang" was changed to a script/cursive style in '68.
('67s had the individual block letters much like the '65-'66 GTs.)

The engine size was added to the running pony emblems on V-8 '67-'68s.
His needs some color though :)­

...I think the side marker lights were new for '68 too.

Well, it has not been lowered yet - I just put 15x8's on it instead of the
stock 14x6's. You can see several pix of the car at
