Ok, so there are several fantastically modded cars here ( you guys know who you are ).

For those of us that haven't thrown the checkbook at our new cars just yet, what parts/paint would you throw at your car if you had an unlimited budget.


Personally, I would...

• keep my Xenon front
• Billet upper and lower grilles, delete fogs (that'd probably have to be custom)
• Put fogs in lower half-circles, under the turn signals on the Xenon front
• add the side skirts and rear bumper from the Foose Stallion
• MRT 1/4 window louvers
• Roush hood scoop
• lower it
• and get some 18" deep dish Bulllitts
• I'd also have to seriously consider flaming it like my fastback. B)

How about you?

Well my car is going in to get repainted. I've decided to stick with the colours and design I currently have. Man, I can't believe how much it is costing to get done.....

Anyway, I still want to get an adjustable panhard rod. I know you said paint/parts and this is in the exterior mode section so I'd say I want the Street scene custom grille for the fogs, which is on order My other dream stuff is....
supercharger, complete audio upgrade incl. 7 1/2 monitor (computer controlled), headers, x pipe, ductail spoiler, functional louvers if someone ever makes them.

If money was no object, I would wait for the Shelby and pay what it took to get one.

The idea here is to use your imagination, and see what others have thought up.

Sorry that was using my imagination, because money will always be an issue.

Havent got my 06 but this is what I plan to do mixed with what I would do if I had unlimited money:

Painted calipers

Billet grills top and bottom

CDC ducktail

California dream hood

MTX louvers

1' rear drop to level it out

CAI with Bamachips XCal

That along with a couple decals and a couple minor things would probably do it.......for now.

Hmmm...

Saleen supercharger & suspension
Roush brakes & calipers
RKSport GTR "Ram Air" functional hood
CDC Chin spoiler, body color
MRT quarter louvers
CDC Glassback
Painted headlight buckets

Undecided on stripe/color theme... Either Black or Gold LeMans stripes, or a Steeda/Mach 1 blackout hood, rear spoiler, panel between taillights

Ideas I probably wouldn't use:
Chrome trim/overlays for bumpers, windows, grilles, lights
Functional C scoops

Did I miss something? :scratch: You have one of (if not the) best looking rides ever posted on this forum. Why are you getting it repainted?

My car was viciously attacked by gravel (darn contruction company didn't post any signs). Only part of my car that didn't get damages was the trunk lid. :bang: :bang: :bang:

Just use your imagination. It's easy. Right now I am imagining that most of the members on this forum have signatures that take up less than 8 lines

Sorry if this is off-topic but I just have to say this...

If money wasn't an object for me... I wouldn't have a stang... i'd have a Ferrari

Actually... maybe a fastback on the side

Depending on the number system, my sig has either
C, 12, 14, or 1100 lines

I could always just post the lyrics at the end of each post instead of leaving it in my sig

-----
If money was no object... without the stang, I would have...
1991 Ferrari 512
1967 GT500 Black & Gold
F-16C
