I really like the fact you’re not afraid to change up the original plan if you’re unhappy with something. Very admirable! I also feel your pain about the paint shop. Mine is down due to corona and I’ll be waiting for a bit afterwards and I have a lot of parts I would like to get painted for my s197.
Woah 😮 lol projector headlights are a serious life improvement, I can’t imagine downgrading for reflectors with how much night driving I do in my coupe
Said it before and I'll say it again, the best content on UA-cam is right here. Love the changes you made. It always sucks when a mod you've envisioned doesn't exist the same way you'd hoped. Slight changes with OEM parts give such good results on the s197, it's got great bodylines.
👉 "It always sucks when a mod you've envisioned doesn't exist the same way you'd hoped" FOR REAL, so much work and pure disappointment. Appreciate the kind words 🙏 and agree on the body lines.
This channel really inspired me to look for my dad's old 05 Mustang. He used to Drag Race it and won a ton of races and some championships with it because it was so consistent. I was able to find it and to my happiness and dismay it's been sitting for 2 years since someone bought it. They drove it home and let it sit. Thankfully they drain the gas and unplug the battery. When I saw the car recently it had a ton of dust and leaves all over it. I bought it and going to pick it up soon to bring it back to life! His old one is white but my dad's new Mustang is an 06 in black paint. I showed him this channel as well. I will have so much fun making this Mustang clean and beautiful again with lots of new mods with my personality witch is -"mean and clean but loud and proud".
Car is looking amazing! In my opinion the best option regarding the hood is keeping it simple by just adding a SpeedForm or MMD hood scoop. The hood scoop takes care of the plain look of the stock hood.
It turned out awesome. I have an '07 California Special, now I need to add splitters on the front and side. Glad to know the GT500 one will work. Great job again as per usual!
Thanks, appreciate the heads up. I just ordered a McLeod Super Sport clutch and aluminium flywheel, hopefully that will give my Stang a little more kick. Guessing you'll be needing a clutch upgrade soon.
So glad syder started selling the taillights I picked up a pair of white vector taillights from eBay and I put piece of black vinyl over the reflectors and reverse light which makes it look so much better.
Looks great! I think the step back to OEM Grill was the right choice! And the C/S - GT500 combo is my absolute favorit on the s197! Keep up the great work! And since your goal is keeping the clean s197 look: You maybe keep the OEM hood but add some heat extractors (like 13/14 S197 hood) to keep down the IAT when your s/c your car. That'll be my next step.
Been waiting man, and thank god you went back to the factory grill!! Looks so much better/more original. Ported heads is unexpected, but I’m very hyped to see your results.
Hey four eyes I know building a channel up like this is very expensive because you're doing it with a car but coming from a gearhead don't stop man you're on a roll and you have supreme editing skills make it happen!
The technology of LEDs is truly amazing, to be able to get EVERY possible color in the rainbow spectrum from a single light emitting diode is amazing. Cool idea too even if you don’t like running show colors on your car , you can pick colors jsut off white that give just enough off color to be uniquely cool or go extreme and all by your phone . So cool.
Trufiber A52 Hood fully functional out of the box, no extra ram air parts to buy. Had mine for 2 years and no problems with form or paint. Air comes in the ram air vents and feeds the factory engine air inlet location. Two huge heat extractors, though you will need to purchase rain guards for the extractors, about $ 70.00. These are held in with push pins, easy in and out.
YES!! Youre front end now looks awesome! Youre right, sometimes factory parts make the car look better cosmetically when combined with others. Keep that look, goes well with it!
Front GT500 lip looks good. The grill and headlights look good. I think you should tint the fog lights with some light smoke tint, not super dark. And paint the pony badge on the grill gloss black
I have these on my 2008 and I like the way they look at night with the tri bar. Not a bad price and fairly simple install. I also installed the pony delete Eleanor style grille with the halo fog lights and the Axial chrome turn signals.
Man another great vid, please try n bring more content brotha! Love the build 👌🏻 400 to the wheels is insane! No turbo or nothing! I like natural aspirated power and sound
I think you hit the nail on the head with the current setup, it’s really clean. I like simplicity with some flare and this mustang definitely accomplishes that. Love the build so far
Duuuude I absolutely love the styling choices you made this time around! I used to own those headlights and honestly I liked them, but you took them to a whole new level! Congrats on having yet again one of the cleanest 3v out there!
I went with the retro style black projector headlights for the same reasoning you had. Really like what you did to those headlights. You for sure have a one off set of headlights now. Love the videos and the build. Cant wait to see your numbers after the head work!
This channel has become one of my favorites, even though you don't post very often. The quality and content is great. Maybe you should post more frequently if it isn't much of a bother for you. 👍
Just watched the other video too, glad to see you doing work again. Love the new look. Personally I'm not a fan of the headlights but you made them better with blacking it out. Keep it up
Excellent vid, love the clean look. Before I got my car I was really considering 05-9s, because tastefully modded they look amazing, nice work with it so far!
Much better! Like you, after going through a couple of different grills on my '05 GT, I went back to the stock grill as well. I do think it looks much better in the end. Love the channel and what you've been doing to your Pony.
This look sooo much better. I initially started watching cos I wanted to get more power out of my 5.4 Fairlane, but I'm more invested in this build than my own now
Did not thing I would love the new style as much as I did it’s truly one of the best early s197s I’ve seen. But here’s my take: instead of painting the tri bar I would’ve tinted them so the lights are less apparent and painted the halo housing. I think that would make them look much further apart from each other even if they truly aren’t. And with the grill, to make it stand out more and give it an aftermarket flare I’d try getting it painted gloss black. Keep the silver pony and all but the matte plastic goes gloss. That would completely alter the stock grill into some pretty special.
It looks so good man, and I’m so glad you kept the oem grille. I always loved it the led fog lights really did what they needed to do. Just don’t ride with red or blue on or you’ll get pulled over lol
Best mustang content vids on UA-cam! The front splitter and side splitters look great, never have liked those headlights because the bulb ring is way to small compared to stock. The factory grill is the way to go imo and those halos are sick!!!, now I want to swap out my raxiom halos.
It looks great! I think if I do this same thing I would also black out the chrome ring on the projector. Or maybe even black chrome it, to give it a less beady eye look to it.
Clean ride. Whenever I think about selling my S197 I somehow see one of your vids pop up and in renews my love for it. Great channel keep it up! You got another subscriber.
A lot of solid information in all your videos. Thank you! I just purchased an 07 Shelby GT. Not the GT 500. So I’m looking to bump up hp a bit myself. Thanks again!
This guy is like Alejandro Flores doesn’t water down content gives actual useful information unlike everyone else that have 4 “oh no blew up my engine” videos or “ford forgot to install this part” and its refreshing to see his content
Alejandro Flores is coyote based gives badass s197 advice on suspension and really got me thinking to coyote swap my 3v with pbh upcoming harness because coyotes just make awesome power
Looks amazing. To finish off the look, my advice would be to blacken the rings around the projectors. I feel the car now as two tiny eyes which are poking out. And I do think there is an optical difference between tinting the headlight versus blackening some insides, given that the projectors are then still nicely visible
This channel is seriously underrated
So as you :)
On me
It actually is
It really id
I would agree. I’d say about a 200k’er. If he had a consistent schedule with the insane quality he’d deserve 2mil lol
This is probably the best channel I’ve ever seen based around a single build
That’s so true I also am a huge fan of jafromobile

Where you located?

Your videos get better and better every single time. I love it !

Keep ‘em coming! We wanna see more videos!
I just binge watched all the episodes for a second time yesterday sweet
Super appreciate that, thank you.
It looks so simple and good at the same time, I think you nailed it
HELL YEA LETS GO!! I honestly expected more content since we’re all locked down lol
Fernando Roa some of use still have to work lol
kwilliams3161 i know. I just got off work 30 minutes ago.

You should document the process here on UA-cam. That's a great story.
i fell in love with that California special bumper gt500 spliter combo its so clean
I really like it too.
Really like the new look. "Sometimes u really cant outdue oem parts"- agreed
I agree, I love the stock grill. I thought about replacing the grill on my 08 GT to look more like the bullit, but I decided not to in the end.
Car is looking amazing! In my opinion the best option regarding the hood is keeping it simple by just adding a SpeedForm or MMD hood scoop. The hood scoop takes care of the plain look of the stock hood.
Excellent production and editing as always 👌 the fog lights on the s197 look great in my opinion, keep them!
I agree with you, the factory grill gives it a smooth look.
Thanks Wil
Looks much much better now
It turned out awesome. I have an '07 California Special, now I need to add splitters on the front and side. Glad to know the GT500 one will work. Great job again as per usual!
It's a bit of a pain to get on there, be sure to have a friend around.
Thanks, appreciate the heads up. I just ordered a McLeod Super Sport clutch and aluminium flywheel, hopefully that will give my Stang a little more kick. Guessing you'll be needing a clutch upgrade soon.
You cracked me up with the news cast. I think you right on with your build. Continue with keeping your build clean like you have been doing.
Thanks a ton Gregg!
Truly the best 3V channel out there! Keep up the great work as you're truly inspiring for us 3V Mustangs!

Hey four eyes I know building a channel up like this is very expensive because you're doing it with a car but coming from a gearhead don't stop man you're on a roll and you have supreme editing skills make it happen!
Thanks dude
Love the new look and the old one equally🫡 I have blacked out headlights and blinkers on mine too and get compliments all the time.
Much better! The look flows very nice.
Almost perfect change in trajectory. Very creative episode. I'll have to get the Four Eyes sunglasses in your new shop.
Thanks dude 🙏 I promise they're really good - took me years to find them.

You nailed that front end look.
I Really like the way it looks with amber halos at the end.
I would love to see the GT/CS rear bumper on this!! Love the build🥵💯💯
Same
That last image with the orange fog lights is wicked.
I did the same thing with the grills, bounced around and put the stock one back in.
Love the new look. Super sick. It’s actually the first time I’ve liked the way these raxiom projectors look.
Same, normally I prefer the stock lights over the raxioms, but this was well done
Thanks dudes 🙏
YES!! Youre front end now looks awesome! Youre right, sometimes factory parts make the car look better cosmetically when combined with others. Keep that look, goes well with it!
Front GT500 lip looks good. The grill and headlights look good. I think you should tint the fog lights with some light smoke tint, not super dark. And paint the pony badge on the grill gloss black
Looks much better. Sleek and subtle. The headlights look 10x better as well.
Glad you're diggin the new look 👍
Car looks great now! Really looking forward to those ported heads, that’s where real power can be made
I will always watch your videos. One of the best UA-camrs out there
I have these on my 2008 and I like the way they look at night with the tri bar. Not a bad price and fairly simple install. I also installed the pony delete Eleanor style grille with the halo fog lights and the Axial chrome turn signals.

Glad to see another video
I think you hit the nail on the head with the current setup, it’s really clean. I like simplicity with some flare and this mustang definitely accomplishes that. Love the build so far
Thanks Alfonso ✌
Lmao I literally watch all your old videos whenever I’m waiting for a new one to come out. They’re that good. The mustang looks great.
Grill choice and fog lights in the end are perfect
Duuuude I absolutely love the styling choices you made this time around! I used to own those headlights and honestly I liked them, but you took them to a whole new level! Congrats on having yet again one of the cleanest 3v out there!
Thanks Diego 🙏

Love the videos and the build. Cant wait to see your numbers after the head work!
Quite nice. Great idea re: the headlights and grill!
absolutely love the shout out for the vector taillights
I prefer the blacked out headlights. Gives it more of a classic look to it
Looks sooooo much cleaner now🔥🔥
Big fan of the new look! Very cleanly done!
This channel has become one of my favorites, even though you don't post very often. The quality and content is great. Maybe you should post more frequently if it isn't much of a bother for you. 👍
Appreciate that Jose 🙏
Omg I was so sad when I found out those tail lights were discontinued. I immediately bought these new ones. So psyched!
Just watched the other video too, glad to see you doing work again. Love the new look. Personally I'm not a fan of the headlights but you made them better with blacking it out. Keep it up
Thanks for watching both and appreciate the honest feedback.
Blacking out the tri-bars was totally worth it and I definitely agree on the factory front grill.
Thanks Muzammil!
Excellent vid, love the clean look. Before I got my car I was really considering 05-9s, because tastefully modded they look amazing, nice work with it so far!
Thanks Benjamin - great name btw.
Can’t wait to see the new heads installed
Wow, really impressed with the look, you have a fantastic eye for aesthetics
Hey thanks Kuno 🙏
Okay I’m genuinely impressed, the front end is beautiful and sits in well with the rest of the car now
Clean clean clean!!!! Great idea going back to the stock grill.
Actually, I love the fog lights behind the mesh grille...
Much better! Like you, after going through a couple of different grills on my '05 GT, I went back to the stock grill as well. I do think it looks much better in the end. Love the channel and what you've been doing to your Pony.
This look sooo much better. I initially started watching cos I wanted to get more power out of my 5.4 Fairlane, but I'm more invested in this build than my own now
You have a Fairlane with a 5.4 modular in it?
@@Four_Eyes not an older one lol, they kept it going as a LWB Falcon until about 2008 in Australia. Mine's a 2003
Did not thing I would love the new style as much as I did it’s truly one of the best early s197s I’ve seen.

Ahhh, I see you're watching Kordare. Very nice. Very nice indeed.
It looks so good man, and I’m so glad you kept the oem grille. I always loved it the led fog lights really did what they needed to do. Just don’t ride with red or blue on or you’ll get pulled over lol
Yeah definitely, I roll with the amber color to match the turn signals. And thank you 🙏
I think the blacked out headlights look great
you killed the styling!!
I am in love with this.
Thanks boss 💪
New look, looks much better!!!
Looks great! Only thing I would change is the chrome ring around the projectors, I would paint that black as well 🙈
Best mustang content vids on UA-cam! The front splitter and side splitters look great, never have liked those headlights because the bulb ring is way to small compared to stock. The factory grill is the way to go imo and those halos are sick!!!, now I want to swap out my raxiom halos.
Thanks JM ✌️
Looks great👍
I really dig the black out tri-bars! And the Bluetooth halos are sick. Good job😁👍👍
Ride looks killer now wow. Love the bumper and headlights and all now
It looks great! I think if I do this same thing I would also black out the chrome ring on the projector. Or maybe even black chrome it, to give it a less beady eye look to it.
This guy is amazing. Seriously. Makes me proud to own a s197
This is going in a fantastic direction!
That looks slick as all get out boss. The splitter adds alot actually even being such a small piece. The headlights also are awesome!
Thanks Nolan ✌
HELL YEAH. Got my first batch of parts coming in Tuesday for my 07.
MUCHHHH better, simple yet elegant
I like your build . it’s a real clean look not over done like a lot of mustang owners .
Has anyone else watched the entire series of these videos 4+ times?
So much better looking
Love your cinematography it's very impressive
Clean ride. Whenever I think about selling my S197 I somehow see one of your vids pop up and in renews my love for it. Great channel keep it up! You got another subscriber.
I think you would miss it, thanks for subbing 🙏
A lot of solid information in all your videos. Thank you! I just purchased an 07 Shelby GT. Not the GT 500. So I’m looking to bump up hp a bit myself. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching John ✌
Muuuuuuch better! Splitters (front and side), look great. And on a whole, looks clean and mean. Well done 👍
Thank you Clay 💪
great looking 3v! keep it up!!
thanks jesse 👍
Great video man! Detailed and always speaking the straight truth. Car projects are rarely a slam dunk. Keep it coming!
Thanks for all your help man 🙏
Splitter definitely set it off. Great job.
Thanks McLean ✌️
The Grill is really what I didn’t like when you changed it. Looks a lot cleaner now
Thanks for keeping the S197 alive!!!! I have one that I bought brand new and you don’t see any videos on the with upgrades.
this guy seriously deserves more subs. he puts so much effort into his videos!
Change the quarter panel window louvers to a solid low profile stealthier look and base the look of the hood on them.
I am liking the new look a whole lot!
Thanks Maria ✌
This channel is so underrated! I enjoy watching every single video! Love your content man keep it up and please do not stop uploading
🙏
