One of the best additions you can throw onto the exterior of your 6.7L Super Duty truck, especially if it's been lifted or leveled and equipped with a set of rugged off-road tires, is a set of fender flares. Here at Stage 3, we have some of the most economic and awesome-looking fender flares you'll find on the market and they come from our friends over at Bushwacker. The new 2011-2015 F250/F350 Bushwacker Pocket-Style Fender Flares come custom pre-painted in matching Ford Super Duty colors so now you don't have to go through the whole hassle of having to get them sent off to your local paint shop to get them matched to the right color and have to wait for weeks to get them installed. Instead, it's as simple as ordering your set of (4) and easily bolting them onto your truck without having to waste extra time and money. Considering the high additional costs of getting fender flares custom painted to match your exact Ford paint color, these are a relatively inexpensive and much easier way to get your Super Duty looking more aggressive without having to wait forever for the more aggressive look you're trying to achieve.

A lot of folks have been ragging on the 2015 F150s for their looks, tiny tires, and whatever else. However, it's been our contention that no one really care for a bone-stock truck, much less a baseline XL or XLT work truck that were the first to hit the dealers back in November. Case in point is this beautiful 2015 F150 Platinum from F150forum.com member Lukasz, who let us share these photos. The truck is decked out with a few just-confirmed 2015 F150 leveling and suspension parts, including 2014 to 2015 F150 Auto Spring 2" Spacers and an Auto Spring 3" rear block, as well as 1.5" wheel spacers, 35" BF Goodrich KO2 tires, a Corsa 4" twin exhaust tip, Line-Xed wheel wells, Line-Xed bed, a BakFlip G2 tonneau cover, and 20% tint. The end result is this extraordinary creation that is only bound to get better as time goes on and more parts become available. Thanks Lukasz for the images and the sweet and clean truck build!

While most of our customers' vehicles are pretty awesome, every once in a great while something pulls into our lot that's truly unique and somewhat terrifying at the same time. This is especially true if you're like us and drive a bit "aggressively" around town (some of us more than others). Straight from Michigan all the way down here to Phoenix came this monster of Pony, decked out in all the official police regalia of Sherman Township and ready to pull you over. Meet this heavily customized Stage 3 Roush Mustang. With a modified Roush M90 supercharger, a built automatic transmission, and a GT500 front end, this Pony makes sure you won't be able to run from the law.

Apparently it's "Whipple Friday" here at Stage 3. There wasn't a memo, it's just kind of how it all worked out. Moving on from Miguel's 2008 Mustang GT, we now have Al's 2011 5.0L Mustang with a 624hp Whipple Supercharger kit. Al was kind enough to bring his Pony down to the shop so we could get some lovely photos of his blower installed, as well as nice video of his Stainless Works Cat-Back Exhaust kit. This Mustang sounds amazing with just a hint of supercharger whine in the upper RPMs and a deep, mellow tone from the cat-back system. Al even had some pretty snazzy Mickey Thompson tires installed to help get the power to the ground. One thing we didn't see was the 2011-2014 Steeda Tri-Ax short throw. You can't win them all. Check out the photos below of Al's awesome ride and make sure to read his fantastic reviews on all these Mustang performance parts!

One of our mot upstanding local customers, Alejandro, paid us a visit last week and brought his 2011 Mustang GT with him. This car has a long story behind it, but let's just say it came back from the dead and was born again into one of the most awesome Ponies hanging around the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Alejandro has thrown just about everything and the kitchen sink at this Mustang with everything from power adders, exhaust upgrades, aggressive custom tuning, styling mods, and suspension components making it a total overhaul. Not bad for needing to be pulled out of a ditch a few months ago -- more on that later.

It's not every day that a genuine Saleen S281 S197 stops by, but when it does happen, we make sure to get a photo or two. What's even more impressive is what this awesome Saleen Mustang is rocking under its hood. Hint: it's something big, mean, and ultra-powerful. Check out our small photo gallery below!

The S197 Bullitt Mustangs are some cool Ponies, but they can be a little difficult to shop for due to their unique under-hood setup with their unique strut tower brace and inlet tubing. Well, that didn't stop Dana out of Pennsylvania from transforming his 2008 Bullitt into one of the most awesome Mustangs that we're seen in a long, long time. This sweet Bullitt just installed an Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System and a wicked TruFiber SVT-Style hood that he ordered from Stage 3. More importantly, he sent us some awesome photos that we're more than happy to show off.
