Slammed Wide Body Ford Mustang GT Convertible New Edge on 20” Wheels

The Ford Mustang is one of the most recognizable and popular cars in the world. It’s a true icon, with a massive fan base and a rich history. Over the years, Mustang fans have accumulated a wealth of knowledge about how to improve and modify these cars.

While most fans follow the traditional approach, there are some who dare to be different and look for new ways to build their dream Mustang.

One great example is this New Edge 2001 Ford Mustang GT convertible owned by Junior Garcia, from Monrovia, CA. It is outfitted with a custom wide body kit, air suspension and staggered Rennen Forged deep dish wheels sized 20×11 up front and 20×14 on the back.

“It’s a truly unique build that is sure to turn heads and annoy purists. If you’re tired of seeing the same parts on every other New Edge build and looking for something that stands out, you will definitely appreciate this project”.
