NickOur former Modification Expert Jurrian is something of an old-hat when it comes to modifying his vehicles – nothing he had has ever stayed stock for long. A few months ago, Jurrian had a gorgeous blue Mustang GT fresh out the dealership, and so many of us asked him, “What’re you going to do to it?” – to which we replied, “I’m going widebody and fully wrapping the car.” We all thought he was screwing with us – he couldn’t be serious – but he was.
So then the Mustang disappeared for a while, leaving the car in the hands of the magic elves at APR Performance and Impressive Wrap to do their thing (No actual Elves were involved). Check out a few In-Progress Photos of the Mustang courtesy of Brian Hua of Impressive Wrap. The car started out in Performance Blue, but it didn’t stay that way long. Here are a few photos to better illustrate the transformation of this car.

When it came back, we needed a jack to pick everyone’s jaws up off the floor. Jurrian is one of the ModBargains Modification Experts – Mustang and Ford is just ONE of his many specialties. Just looking at the car, everything’s carefully chosen – nothing extraneous or unnecessary. A pure, uncluttered build that makes the Mustang the curvy beauty it always should have been.
Of course, the widebody is by no means the end to this Mustang’s mod list – in fact, it’s just one small piece. A whole host of modifications make up this beastly ponycar – it performs as well as it looks with a heavily worked over suspension that lets it deliver on the promises made by its exterior appearance.

Jurrian’s input wasn’t the only voice guiding the build, either. Jurrian’s wife and ModBargains Customer Loyalty Team member, Alyssa lent her support and advice as the car was built. As Jurrian put it, “Without (Alyssa’s) guidance and without her input, this Mustang would not be where it’s at today.”
