Okay, let's say my dad puts $500 in my Christmas stocking. What modification(s) would you do first, if you were going to spend a grand or so?

On a related note, can anyone recommend a shop to work on '05 Mustangs here in Massachusetts, northwest of Boston. Say around Lowell or Nashua, NH?

Tough one. I like the car so much as is, I would almost hate to mess with it at all.

Maybe stripes. When I get my black one I am thinking of gold stripes like I had on my '69.

 

My first modification is going to be a hood scoop.

The stripes on this thread look awesome in my opinion.

 

Wider tires

 

Sequential tail lites, Concept Hood, and engine cover. Thats the most disapointing thing about my car. The interior is so nice then you pop the hood and nothing, nada, zippy.

 

stripes

 

Paint protection film on the front hood and lower bumper...eliminates need for a bra.

 

My first mod would be buying gas


11 mpg isn't that great...

 

Or maybe a tornado fuel saver?!

 

anyone heard anything on ducktails?

 

Cosmetic= Stripes
Performance= High flow intake/exhaust

those would be my first...

 

Rear window film or Louvers, side panel stripes, cool sunglasses & driving gloves.

 

There's alot that I would do with the '05. Flowmaster exhaust would probably be the first, next would be wider rims and tires.

After that, I'd put a suspension in. A nice suspension upgrade on any car will make it more fun to drive, even with no engine mods. Sometimes, it makes it feel faster.

Then after that, save up money for some headers and a supercharger kit. Don't mess with cold-air induction and funky filters and stuff like that. Hey, if you're gonna get wet, you might as well go swimming!

 

exhaust, for sure.

 

Shorter antenna and quarter winow louvers for me to start with.
I absolutely hate the stock antenna and the side window louvers make the black stang look sooooo retro and sexy IMO

 

It sounds good as it is.

 

Dont know what it would cost...but i think if i get leather,im going to have middle of seats and middle section of door panel done to match the exterior color i pick.

 

A good list...

How much you guys think it'll cost to get a different hood, including paint?

 

exhaust!
