I added to the bottom of quarters on my Mustang also, I do think it helps the lines on the car. We are just plastic surgeons on the original lines that Ford came up with.
Hmm, interesting, you say you "added" to the quarters and I think I see what you did by adding to the wheel area it increases the angle towards the rear. Your rear valence actually looks very pinched like you shortened that area as well.

I'm actually trying (at this point) to do the opposite of being a plastic surgeon, I want to go back to the original lines as much as possible without compromising anything.

There is a good scene in the Birdcage - the two main characters are very out homosexuals that run a gay cabaret, but they have to pass as straight roommates because their daughter is bringing her boyfriend's parents to visit. So they have to totally redecorate their apartment. A group of their fabulous friends are helping remove all the Miami Gay Kitsch (tm). One of them brings in some butch looking item and says "this will be perfect" and Robin Williams says "Subtract....don't add....subtract".

So whenever I start thinking hey maybe a fender vent or mesh here or a wing there would look good I tell myself "Don't add....subtract".

Because my Mustang is a bit like a gay couple's apartment in Miami, or something.
