Hi guys, I’m currently looking for a new car and I’m stuck between the GR86 and Mustang. Honestly leaning more towards the Mustang just because it’s faster and I like how aggressive it looks, and it’d be my first car ever to have over 300hp lol. Only thing is, I don’t know how it would look with anime stickers, tsurikawa, and basically the whole JDM anime cutesy theme the way it looks good on the 86. I know it’s my car and I can accessorize and do whatever I want with it, but I’d like some opinions from all you lovely Mustang owners. Thank you!! (If it helps to give an opinion at all, I’m a girl.)
I’ve seen lots of people try and do the JDM look on all sorts of Mustangs. I’ve still yet to see one where it looks ‘right.’ Just my 2 cents

That’s just some VSKF’s and some camber, not exactly a super ‘JDM’ look. I’m talking full kits and liveries, but even then that one on VSKF’s just doesn’t work together IMO.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t thinking like a whole body kit at all, don’t even want to lower it either lol. If anything, the only body mods I was looking at were maybe a skirt/lip, a low spoiler, and some cannards. Maybe some cute shaped brake lights if I can even find any for Mustangs. It was more like an anime-themed look, the way you’d see a JDM car accessorized. That being said, I don’t want a giant anime character on the side.
@Owen
That doesn’t look aggressive; it looks like a dog with worms.
Don’t put that stuff on a Mustang.
Your car, your preferences… I think that would look like trash. You asked.

I did ask, thank you for noticing. 
JDM style on USDM just looks silly. It makes it look like you want a JDM car but are stuck with a USDM car.
Well, if you’re asking for opinions, I’d say that weeb stuff doesn’t belong on a Mustang. But this is from a 40-something lifelong Mustang guy, so I’m not your target audience. Of course, do whatever you want, but I personally would judge that pretty harshly. Your level of care for my opinion is up to you.

It would look silly, but mostly because it does on any car. That shouldn’t stop you from doing it, however. It’s your car. Just be prepared to catch some flak for it (as you would in a GR86, even without the anime stuff).

Yeah, honestly, the only reason I was looking at the GR86’s is because the Supra is out of my budget, including insurance, and I thought it was cute enough. But when I saw the new Mustangs, I fell in love with them. I wouldn’t be doing too much build-wise, maybe a lip/skirts, a low spoiler (I hate the big ones), and some cannards. As for the accessories, all I really wanted was the tsurikawa hanging on the back or front, and then the decals/stickers and cute brake lights if I can even find any for Mustangs. I wasn’t thinking like a huge anime wrap or anything like that.

It could work on a low-key level (maybe not the huge anime stickers), but I feel like there are other sports cars better suited for it, like the GR86 you mention. To me, Mustangs have a hard, aggressive American look. You’re more likely to see someone go all ‘Murica with a Mustang, so seeing it with anime stickers or a wrap would be… interesting at least. Whereas with a GR86, it has a body much more suited for the JDM aesthetic. If you’re going only for JDM stuff, I’d advise you to choose the GR86. But since you’re excited about having a 300+ horsepower car, I see where the Mustang appeals to you. It’s better in that way.

Yeah, no, I don’t want an overly done ‘look at me I like anime’ huge side decal kind of thing. I was thinking just the tsurikawa handles, some small anime stickers/decals, and some cute shaped lights if I can even find any for Mustangs. I wasn’t even thinking of doing much to the body besides maybe a lip/skirt and a spoiler. Even then, I wouldn’t get a huge JDM one, just a smaller, more low-key thing. I guess I should’ve said I want to accessorize it that way instead of making it seem like a JDM car. I’m appreciating all the feedback though!

You’re definitely going to have to experiment. I’ve seen some JDM-styled EcoBoost Mustangs that look really nice. You can find plenty on YouTube, but ultimately you’re going to have to find your balance of American Muscle/JDM.

Yeah, it honestly wouldn’t be a lot, just some stickers/decals/vinyl overlays, a low-key spoiler (not a crazy high one, those are bleh), some cannards, and maybe a lip/side skirt. I wanted to do some cute-shaped lights as well, but I don’t know how that would be possible with the stock brake lights. And, of course, just a tsurikawa handle on the front or back. I wasn’t thinking like a whole body kit or anything too crazy like a whole character on the side. I guess it’s more accessories than build.

If you love it, do it up. Who cares what people think? It’s your car, and you’re going to be driving it. Do it up, girl! I just custom ordered a 2025 GT, and it’s completely blacked out. That’s exactly how I wanted it, so I got it the way I wanted. Although, a blacked-out Mustang with some Itachi vibes going would be sick.

That sounds so cool. I do want to eventually wrap it, but haven’t decided on a color yet. And yeah, I was thinking just accessories like the tsurikawa and some stickers, nothing too crazy like a whole body kit except for maybe a low spoiler, some cannards, and maybe a lip/skirt. I wanted it to be subtle, like how you mentioned where it would be, ‘Ayy, I can tell who that is,’ without having a giant Itachi decal on the side. I guess I’ll just have to see once I get it!

The only ones where I saw it pull it off were late 90s vintage.
