New Member - Would love your input/knowledge

I own a 2007 Foose Stallion. The Stallion currently resides in Newnan, Georgia. I have a few questions if anyone could help, I would be much appreciated.

1) The Foose does not have fog lights, that's unbelievable. I can’t believe Chip Foose let the car roll with two empty holes in the bottom of the front bumper. When I try to look up Fog Lights for purchase, they don’t look like they would fit this car. Anyone know exactly what I need to buy to put fog lights in the car.

2) I think this car is awesome as sits, but like any other Stang owner, I want to improve it. I would like to put rear louvers and a hood scoop on it. Most of my friends say I should leave it alone as it’s a Foose and that’s the way Chip Foose wanted it. They ask me “who am I to question him”. Your opinion?

3) This car will do over 80mph in third gear. I’m not a top end kind of guy, I like acceleration. The car supposedly will do 160+. I say supposedly because I will never even get close to that. Seems to me to be a lot of wasted power. I’m thinking about putting in lower gears in the rear end. Does anyone see any issues with this? Has anyone done this?

Thanks

First, nice car. Some more pics?
1.) I'm not sure on the fog lights, but have you thought about brake cooling ducts? I don't know if you track the car at all...
2.) It's your car...who cares "how Chip Foose wanted it". I think a Shaker hood scoop would look sweet.
3.) If you're never gonna top it out and you don't care about gas mileage, then I say go ahead and swap the gears. If you're not gonna go over 70mph, then you might as well get there as fast as possible.

1)Try looking on American Muscle, lots of options to look at.

2)It's your car! I have seen two with hood scoops, and they looked mean. And the original promo handout car had a hood scoop.....

3)I almost always ditch the stock gears asap. What I would recommend depends on what you have. The auto came with 3.31s and the manual has 3.55s, either way you would love some 3.73s or 4.10s.
