I'm going to burst!

I am so excited about my mustang, it's all I can think about.
I just got in my Silverhorse racing louvers, and my lower control arms look sweet AND! My stripes get painted on next week.... bwaaaa!
To bad my car is in Colorado and I'm in Las Vegas.
Sorry, I just had to share my excitement.

They are! We test drove a 2015 yesterday. Felt just like a 2014 with more... Inconvenient... "A" pillars. Otherwise it was cool. But it made me miss mine more.

The 15s are great but the 14s can be had for a good price! Tried and proven is what I'm sticking with! Cant go wrong either way, great cars! Just got done driving and the roush exhaust sang some good notes :-) I know you're missing your car, sorry!

Lol I look at my car sitting in the garage every day and I still miss it! 4 more inches of snow overnight doesn't help.

If I had a garage I'd probably wax the thing everyday.

Amen...but I don't go in the garage. My truck lives outdoors in the white stuff so I don't have to go in there and pine over my Mustang on a daily basis. Just garbage day. Then I have to go in there. The wife complains if I ask her to do it.

Alright! In the Las Vegas airport, leaving with most of my money (only down $5.00). Going to order and exhaust and... Well, I don't know what I should do next. Or should I do anything at all?

You need to get lowering springs and good shocks/struts. It will handle better, look better, and reduce nose dive when braking.

I'm pretty set on not lowering it. I've had a lowered car in the past. I won't say I'll never do it again but, that is something I don't have any plans for.
I will have to research shocks after I get my lower control arms on. Good thought tho.

I've toyed with the idea of push button start but still having to use the key kind of turned me off.

What about Roush? 1/2" drop (negligible) with better spring rates...most of the benefits, none of the drawbacks. If you're looking at shocks/struts, you're gonna be in there anyways.

Aside from that, do you have a catch can? Gotta keep the crap out of the engine. MGW shifter? Must-have mod IMO.

I have researched catch cans a bit. But on the shifter kits I'm not sure what I am looking for or what difference I am going to feel with the upgrade. Could you (or someone) describe what I should be looking for in a kit?

The catch can thing has me interested, is it an easy install? I have heard of the bobs, is that the brand to go with?

For shifters, just read the features list on the MGW....cuz that's what you should look for. Then just get that.

An air/oil separator is an absolute MUST on these cars. I've got the Moroso, it and Bob's are generally considered the best though there are other very good ones out there, Bob's would be number one though. AM has the Moroso on clearance right now for a pretty good price and a discount code for another 10% off that. I'd jump on it if I didn't already have it.

But you can sit in your garage in the middle of winter.
