Boss Shinoda
The 1996 Boss Shinoda was built by Shinoda Performance Vehicles (SPV). They were placed on the GT and Cobras and came in two levels. Level 1 (Gen I) was a graphics package, Budnick wheels, and a body package (front spoiler, wheel flares and rear "super" spoiler.) The Level 2 (Gen II) added some performance upgrades such as the Shinoda wheels and suspension modifications. As with other companies making modifications to cars right from the Ford factory, all the SPV items could be ordered and placed on any Mustang. SPV Factory modifications included a dash plaque and Shinoda serial number. These were generally built 1994-98, but I have seen SPV dash plaques on later cars as well.
