Mod Ideas for a better '05 Stang
good choices, but i would go with:
18 inch Fanblades with black inserts
Possibly a hood similar to concept
ducktail
possibly red racing stripes so the car looks like the one on my avatair
tinted windows
a radar detector
a viper two way transmiter-stinks that the automatic start only works on fuel-injected autos though.
and the shaker 1000 seems shaweeeet so i dont think ill be needing an aftermarket audio system.

so let me get this right... u want to get a GT but turn it into a v6 in stylin? :scratch:
this might seem a lil stupid but y not just save the extra moneyu u would be spending on that GT and just get a v6? and dont be like but i want a v8 not a v6, because IMHO its freaking stupid to literally turn a GT into a lower model just so that u can have the v8
but hey each to his own.

Why is it stupid? :scratch:
Such an ugly word.
:notnice: :nono: I'm pretty sure that the savings in not getting a GT to achieve a look can not be then added to make the V6 perform like the GT. I'm reasonably sure that THAT would be a very much more expensive undertaking. We're talking brakes, exhaust, and oh yeah, the entire drivetrain. Not cheap aftermarket. And since I don't want a V6 in the first place, that's not gonna happen, now is it?
And I do not want a V6 totally in styling. I like the bumpers, dual exhaust, etc. just fine. It's the fog lamps and badges I do not like. And I said I would probably get other badges I DO like. When you get down to it, the grille, bumpers, badges (including the "gas cap") and wheels are all that makes the GT different looking from the V6. So my changes are very minimal, and do not make it a lower model, just a different looking GT.
You sure are judgemental. How mean. So you don't like it. Fine. And you want to say that. Fine. But calling me stupid? You don't know me. Go away.
Sorry. I just really hate the word 'stupid.' Especailly when preceeded by some modifier like 'freaking.'And now, commences several posts calling me 'moronic' or 'imbecelic' or, quite possibly, 'freaking stupid.'
Oh, and the 'draulics and pine tree freshener? Kidding y'all.

Yep. I do want a GT but with some V6 cues. They look better in my opinion. Since it's my car, I should be able to make it mine. Not everyone elses, mine.

Funny you should bring that up, I was thinking about getting these for my car.

You can just buy paint and do it yourself though.

discbrakesrus sells the colored brake calipers. They are Cobra calipers, so the question is not "will they fit on the '05's larger rotors", it's more like "can the '05 be upgraded to 13" cobra brakes like the SN95's"
