Thumbs up

I had to see what people thought and I've never done a poll before. As it stands on Monday I plan to order the remaining pieces for my Eleanor kit and a set of wheels. However I got to thinking I could buy a supercharger and do the looks later. What would you do?

My car has this done:
Performance wise:
CNL w/Alternative Auto tune
IMRC Deletes
Underdrive pullies
Magnaflow X-pipe and catback
3300 stall convertor

Exterior wise:
Eibach lowering springs
CDC Ducktail
CDC Classic front Valance
and the Eleanor hood is on the way

Thanks Mike

Go ask this question in the exterior mods forum, and you might get a different set of answers. In the S197 GT Tech & Performance forum, its going to be a blow-out for the blower!

I take it you don't like the Eleanor kits

Of course it's all personal opinion so that why I asked.

All body kits are stupid. The original eleanor isn't even good. Go with the vortech, that way people won't laugh at you.

Such strong hate for the body kit, but while were throwing out opinions - if you don't like the original eleanor, then you don't even deserve to own a mustang, you should have just bought a GTO.

Getting in the the "you don't deserve to own a Mustang" act a bit early, aren't you?

Tell me something - define what "the original Eleanor" is.

Car from gone in 60 seconds. It's tollerable but a normal GT500 looks a lot better. Putting a body kit on a car like that is inexcusable. Now the eleanor kit for the 05 is just butt ugly. Makes the car look like a pig and it's rice.

The modded "GT500" is not the original Eleanor. Thanks for playing.

Perhaps you should increase your knowledge a bit before making statements regarding who is worthy of owning a Mustang.

Go look who was talking about being worthy of owning a mustang. Maybe you should increase your reading comprehension skills before posting?

By the way this is the absolute FIRST eleanor but it's not the same as the eleanor body kit we are talking about. I don't care for 69-85 mustangs.

Not certain why you answered a question that wasn't directed at you. My attribution error, not a reading comprehension one. But correct, you didn't make claims of worthiness.

You called it "gay" and "stupid", which is more childish and myopic.

Since you now have increased your knowledge, it looks like Google has served you well.

Hey guys no need to get fired up on this I was just wondering what other people would do. I can tell that my attitude has changed as I have grown older. I'd rather have a nice looking car first and speed second I'm not real sure when it happened.

Anyway I'm not sure why you think the Eleanor kit is "rice" but thats your opinion on it and thanks for sharing. I don't like the hole kit myself, but I do like the concept. I think I may go ahead and get my wheels, pay them off and then do the supercharger. I see most would do the blower first

Oh it's still a must !! Everything I've owned in the past 12 years has had a supercharger or turbocharger on it, so it will happen. Now I'd rather fix up the outside first, which is odd for me.
