I know I will. I have plans for the bad boy. I think I have decided on a silver Deluxe GT, with IUP, and a 5 speed manual. I want to add the black stripes but I am going to have my sister-in-law's step dad paint them on and clear coat them (He owns a body shop).

I know I will ofcourse tint the windows to battle the Texas heat. I'm going to add sub frame connectors, headers, a cat back with flowmasters, 18x9.5 inch Ultralite II wheels in chrome finish and I hope to eventually add a supercharger.


Now, uh ya'll make sure if a someone ever registers here with the name "Mrs. Windhamjk" that you keep my mod plans quiet. B)


What mods do you guys or ladies plan on?

 

What do sub frame connectors do? Is it for suspension/handeling?

 

supercharges are just not the way to go, unless you put in forged crank, rods and pistons... Seen way too many stangs blow up with pro-charges with no forged internals.

 

I want to immediately add the dual race stripes. Some people say wait 2 months till you wax your new car due to the new paint coat and then on the other thread, someone says do it right away. So, aside from that confusing question, SHOULD you let the paint "set" or something until sticking decals on as well?

 

We have already covered this. no need to "let the paint set" its already been set. The paint is roasted on at extremely high temperatures, also keep in mind the car will be made about a month before you get your hands on it.

 

First thing will be the intake cover, from when Ford was playing with our emotions.

 

Tint

Exhaust

Wheels

... who knows what'll be next ...?

 

the necessities like exhaust and major engine modifications

 

Mine, when I do get one, will be bone stock for as long as I own it.

 

I can answer this question in one of two ways. If there is a shelby version in a year or two AND it's an authentic Shelby (read: more awesome bodywork, handling upgrade, interior package, big performance boost, and Less than $50K-- I'll take it the way it comes.

If there is no shelby or it's just an appearance package--I'll be buying a GT and moding the pee-pee out of it. I plan to do my homework on performance modifications (by then that will be easy), supercharging is high on my option list (I love the sound), with any internal modifications necessary. I also want to alter the body, I like some of the chops I've seen here and elsewhere. If I can find them, I want a more aggressive front fascia, cleaner grill, new wheels, a ducktail, and side scoops (behind the doors and on the back windows). -- I'll just create what I think a modern shelby should be. Fortunately, with a sticker less than $30K--$15 or $20K in mods is not out of the question--This is why I went to Law School.

I wait, and I'm trying hard not to run out and buy a GT-- because I want an authentic Shelby--it's my dream. IMHO--the king of mustangs.

 

I love the racing stripes that we saw on the Titanium car shown at Detroit but the dealer racing stripes looks nothing like it. Do you think a good body shop could paint stripes on my stang that would look just like those on the titanium car?

 

Bone stock

 

Oh yeah. Especially if you live near a place that does any kind of custom work. The sky is the limit (well, so is your pocket book I guess) LOL

 

Bone Stock up to the Warranty, then it's anybody's guess what I'll do.

I do intend on tinting the windows, but I do have a question for those that have seen the 05 in person.

Does the 05' have the dot matrix print border on the quarter and rear windows like the 04's?

If so I may reconsider because I HATE the seam you end up with when tinting windows that have that stoopid dot matrix border.

 

Tint, brakes, wheels, Bassani Xhaust,short shifter and of course a Vortech, all before the first scheduled oil change.

 

Well I guess racing stripes shouldn't cost too much. I just need to find a place that will do a perfect job.

 

Same here. Except maybe the intake cover if it's available. My friend, with his "tricked out" toyota matrix, thinks I'm stupid but, um, who's gonna be driving the muscle car and who's gonna be driving a station wagon?

 

Ill probably look into superchips. I havent heard the new mustang, so i may or may not get mufflers. Thats it besides wheels in the future

 

Well, if i were getting an '05 (holding out for SVT) i'd get the Legend Lime car and put white racing stripes on it and would also get the white side rocker stripe (found on the V6). Also would get louvered side windows and definately an aftermarket hood with some sort of scoop. Then everything else would be modifications to the suspension (lowered) and drivetrain.

 

It kind of turns the car into a full frame car. It cuts down on the amount of chassis flex which over time will keep your windows from leaking and doors from not aligning up right.

If you have no plans of ever driving the car hard then they're not needed in my opinion, but I plan to run my pony like a thorobred.
