Some builds start simple and evolve into something wild. That’s exactly what happened with Drew Jackson’s 2016 Ford Mustang, better known as Slammed_ecostang. What began as a mild daily driver turned into one of the most eye-catching, fully built Mustangs in the country.
Packed with style, power, and personal touches, this EcoBoost isn’t just slammed—it’s a full-blown showstopper. And for Drew, this car is more than just a build. It’s a journey.
How It All Started
When Drew picked up his 2016 Mustang brand new, he only planned on doing a few clean mods. The goal was to keep it simple and subtle. But as with most great projects, one thing led to another—and before he knew it, he was chasing the dream of having one of the nicest Mustangs in the scene.
Over the years, Slammed_ecostang has gone through several phases, each version getting more polished, more aggressive, and more refined.
“I wanted something that would stand out from the crowd—something that made people stop and take a second look,” Drew says. “And I wanted every inch of it touched. Nothing left untouched.”
Years in the Making
This build wasn’t rushed. Since 2016, Drew has been evolving this car bit by bit. And it’s not his first ride either. Back in the early 2000s, he started out in the show scene with a Mitsubishi Eclipse, going to local events and even the legendary NOPI Nationals. After a break, he came back full force in 2015 and hasn’t slowed down since.
Today, he’s a proud member of CHOZEN, a car club he joined back in 2003 when it was known as Team Chozen. The crew’s always been known for having the cleanest rides in the game—and Drew’s Mustang fits that reputation perfectly.
Performance Meets Style: Built EcoBoost Power
Don’t let the show-car status fool you—this Mustang isn’t all looks. Under the hood sits a 2.3L EcoBoost motor that’s been fully bolted-on, pro-tuned, and upgraded with a Precision turbo and water/meth injection. It’s polished and dialed in for both reliability and performance, proving that you don’t need a V8 to run with the big dogs.
Slammed and Tucked with Airlift Performance
This Mustang hugs the pavement thanks to a full Airlift Performance air suspension setup. Whether parked at a show or cruising downtown, the stance is dialed in just right.
And when it comes to wheels, Drew went with Heritage 3-piece wheels measuring 19×14 all around, wrapped in 265/35/19 tires. It’s an aggressive fitment that perfectly complements the custom widebody by Carolina Stance Shop.
Wrapped in Style
The 2016 Ford Mustang is wrapped in Evolv APA Gloss Metal Hawaii Mint, a bold and vibrant color that pops under any lighting. Add in the SVG.JP carbon fiber PPF touches, and this car turns heads before it even pulls in.
The wrap and bodywork were both done by Union Kustoms, who also handled the GT500-style bumpers, Rocket Bunny wing, and clean widebody flares. It’s an aggressive look without being over the top—a balance of street-ready muscle and modern show car.
Inside the Cockpit
The interior on the 2016 Ford Mustang is just as dialed-in as the exterior. Drew’s Mustang features Braum racing seats, custom white door panels, and a starlight headliner courtesy of New Era Upholstery. There’s also a custom rear seat delete, carbon fiber steering wheel, and a fully built custom hardline trunk setup trimmed in gator skin material by Carolina Stance Shop.
And for sound? A full DS18 audio setup including amps, speakers, and a clean head unit makes sure the vibes hit just as hard as the turbo.
From Daily to Dominator
Over the years, Slammed_ecostang has won countless awards at local and national shows—including Best of Show at Slammedenuff, one of the biggest events in the country. That kind of recognition doesn’t come easy. It takes time, vision, and a deep passion for the scene.
Family and Friends Matter Most
Drew’s not shy about showing love to the people who made this build happen. Big thanks go out to his wife Ashley, his kids Savannah and Camden, his CHOZEN car family, and the skilled hands at Carolina Stance Shop, Union Kustoms, and others who helped bring the vision to life.
What’s Next?
At this point, Drew’s goal is to maintain the Mustang as a high-quality show car. No crazy overhauls, just keeping it clean, fresh, and dialed in. And honestly? When you build something this complete, that’s more than enough.
