to be completely honest.....haven't received a compliment yet in person. When I had the Mustang Cobra 1/3 times (not exaggerating) I would fill up on gas, park the car and get out, etc someone would say something....and this wasn't just in Michigan, but just equally in other states.
As far as looks while driving, it's cut by probably 80%...before I had really loud borla exhaust and because it was stick would drive it aggressively and would have the whole block looking or turning heads or watching me the whole street. No aftermarket rims, nothing extra, but looked A LOT. I miss that actually, but wouldn't trade my car right now for anything, but that is slightly disappointing.
