2009 Mobsteel Taurus SHO

Adam Genei, owner of Mobsteel in Brighton, Mich., knew he wanted to customize the Taurus SHO when he saw the vehicle revealed at the North American International Auto Show. “I was just blown away by it,” he said. “I knew I could customize it into a really mean-looking ride.”

The Mobsteel Taurus SHO is completely blacked out – the body, windows, even the wheel lips. The only features not done in black are the wheel centers and badging, which stand out in a brushed aluminum finish. Genei says he also is making some performance modifications. “The Taurus SHO has a very refined drive. Our goal is to take a little bit of that refinement out and make it a little more hard-edged,” he said. “We’re hoping to get more than 420 horses.”

The Ford Taurus SHO and Mobsteel are both committed to being anything but ordinary. So it’s no surprise that the Taurus SHO by Mobsteel is one extraordinary vehicle. The trademark black-on-black Mobsteel paint job, custom fascias, and a host of trim touches and details give this 2010 Taurus SHO a tough menacing look, whether coming or going. And that’s just the beginning, as this SHO has the goods both inside and out.

The bad boy rides on massive 22-inch Mobsteel forged two-piece wheels and super-low-profile Pirelli PZero Nero tires. A completely customized chassis with Air Runner front struts and Mobsteel adjustable rear air ride provide attitude to the max. The Magnaflow Performance cat-back exhaust and JL Audio equipment make this Taurus SHO sound as tough as it looks.
