I purchased a new Mustang GT in 1987 when they first came out. For a while
there it was kind of a rare car and it was really cool to be one of the first to have
one. 1 year later and they were really popular and the exclusivity was gone but
it was still cool to own and drive and yes personalize it!

I suspect the same is going to be true for our '05 Mustangs. I look at my car as
a work in progress and will continue to update it to my personal preference for years to come! That is what is so much fun about owning a 'Stang.

Stangs Rule!

Only not so heinous as these. They stop at the hood and below the trunk- no bumper coverage.

I am fixing to head out...
I hear he has a REAL gt500 in for custom gotta see it!

Mods can move to exterior mods if need be:

what they talked about(I love the men in my life love my car)
Ghost stripes in pearl
REAL hood pins
Side Vents like Eleanors
Chin Spoiler
Ducktail......

I have only seen one on the road so far, and that was in BFE from where I live (Springtown for you DFW folks).

I should get a ride-a-long with Treadhead...he seems to see them everyday....

All you can do is mod your car before anyone else with the same colour does and get a lot of exposure. That way if someone copies you at least you and several other people will know that you were the first......but please, I beg all of you, do not turn the mustang into a ricer...leave that for the honda's, cavaliers, sunfire's, etc......

Are you insane? No Rice for me thank you.
just a nice little ducktail, some vents, Real hoodpins and ghost stripes to shelby specs...
See last post- I want mine close to that as possible.

Not as many people mod there are as you guys are making it them out to be. At least not here in LA, I mean other then exhausts and minor things and not counting the ricers.

Plus if you bought a Ford for its exclusiveness I think you choose the wrong car. These days you’re going to have to spend 100K+. Around here SL500’s are so common it’s sick.

Honestly the only modded mustangs I have seen around here are San Francisco treats. LOTs of stripes, hence I wanna be a lil different.

My bday is coming up, so my husband goes out to a place I told him about and he told me about- comes home with it all planned out. I'm just gonna go a little to the left of norm- norm for an 05 around these parts being racing stripes.

Hey Altoid, check out the West Coast postings... Going to meet up on Jan 14th

There are about 6 in my area... I love seeing them around. Means I am not the only one with some good taste..

However, one of the reasons I am steering clear of stripes and flames is because everyone has them of some kind of another. Exterior is going to be one of kind, the Stang I have been wanting for 7 years.

I hav never been overly concerned with wether my car is unique or not. If it suits my style and I like it that is all that concerns me. I couldn't care less if there are a million just like mine or if nobody else on earth even likes the car.

I wish them both the best of luck in thier future together. They were made for each other.

Good one!
I wouldn't dream of getting in a whacking contest with the GT. [/b][/quote]
But yours is a Cobra....
