Extreme Dimensions
It would take most of this issue to list the numerous body kits that Extreme Dimen-sions offers for '87-'05 Mustangs. Four of its more popular body kits are the Hot Wheels Widebody kit and Racer kit for the '05 Mustang, the Colt kit for model years '87 through '04, and the Evo 5 body kit for the '94-'98 cars.
The nine-piece Hot Wheels Widebody kit includes a front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, front fenders, rear fender flares, and rear wing, all made out of fiberglass.
The four-piece Racer kit for the '05 Mustang is also a trick-looking piece, and includes a front lip spoiler, a rear lip, and a pair of side skirts. Like the Widebody kit, the Racer is also made out of fiberglass. Unlike the Widebody, however, each piece is available separately.
One of Extreme Dimensions' more versatile kits is the Colt, which is offered for the '99-'04, '94-'98, and '87-'93 models. The Colt kit is made out of fiberglass, and comes as a four-piece kit with side skirts and front and rear bumpers. The minor difference in the kit comes with the '94-'98 version, which is offered with matching door caps, making it a six-piece kit.
If you're going for a European-type look for your '94-'98 Stang, then the Evo 5 kit is for you. The unique front bumper is a perfect place in which to hook up some huge foglights. The kit also comes with Vader-type side skirts and a rear bumper. Made of fiberglass.

Fang Performance
If you're looking to give your new Mustang some teeth, then Fang Performance has three awesome appearance packages and a few side items that will make your car bite in a good way.
Fang has the Mystery 7 package, which is a four-piece kit shipped with a hood, end caps, trunk lid, and front fender eyebrows. The hood has a neat-looking scoop on it, while the trunk lid is a one-piece item with the rear spoiler already attached. The two end caps complete the spoiler, and the eyebrows give the front end a longer look.
Stepping up is the Mystery 8 kit that comes with a front fascia, a fully functional ram-air-style hood, and a complete trunk lid/spoiler combination with end caps. The kit was made available this summer, and, like the Mystery 7 kit, gives the new Stang a racy look. At the time of press, pricing for both the Mystery 7 and Mystery 8 kits were not available, so check out Fang Performance's Web site or call to find out how much each kit costs.
Fang's Street Pak kit is an appearance package that also gives a little bit of go power. The kit comes complete with hood, front spoiler, upgraded wheels and tires, leather interior with Fang Performance-embroidered floor mats, a Fang ram-air box, new mufflers, and a rear fin-type spoiler. According to Fang, portions of the package may be added or deleted to suit individual needs, so if you just want the look and not the sound or performance, Fang will make the appropriate changes. As is the case with the Mystery kits, pricing wasn't available, so call the company for an exact price tag for the kit.
In addition to the kits, Fang also offers a front chin spoiler, a rear ducktail-style spoiler that comes with provisions for the upper third brakelight, and a Shaker hood package. The Shaker package comes with a spear-type hood complete with a '99-'04 Mach 1-style Shaker scoop.

RKSport
RKSport offers only two body kits, but both of them will turn the '05 Mustang into a style machine. The six-piece California Dream body kit is made from urethane, and the pieces-two door panels, a side skirt, and a front and rear bumper-are offered separately.
Next up the price ladder is the GT/R kit. This is a 10-piece kit that includes a front bumper, a rear bumper, side skirts, door panels, quarter window scoops, and quarter-panel C-scoops. Like the California Dream kit, the GT/R is also made of urethane and has its parts available for individual sale.
In addition to the kits, RKSport also has hoods to match each of the kits. The California Dream hood complements the California Dream kit, and the GT/R hood, obviously, does the same with the GT/R kit.
