Nice, looks like a totally different car. What do you mean you haven't done much to it...

Looks good.

Black is beautiful! As long as you keep it clean... What else is on the mod list? Hood struts? Sound tube delete?

What's the plus in deleting the sound tube?

Less artificial sound and cleaner engine bay.

Plus if you have upgraded your stereo and have an amp in your trunk, you have a pass through for your power cable from the battery to the amp.

Only exterior stuff left is the 95 cobra style hood and the cs fog lights. Inside I replaced the shift **** but still need a retainer for it

My favorite mods have been TracKey & the GT500 axle-back. I know people say get a "real" tune but I'm more about the "lopey idle" that comes with it. When it thunders through the GT500 mufflers it demands attention and respect without being wake-the-neighbors obnoxious.

My favorite moment so far is when a $200k 583 HP SLS AMG in front of me changed lanes right before a red light (so I would then pull up next to him, presumably to race). When I came to a stop, my humble $35k Mustang (with under a $1000 in mods) immediately went into it's blub...blub, blub blub "cammed" cadence. And when that light turned green, AMG pulled ahead like a grandma in a Prius LOL.

I get "What's it got in it!?" all the time. I really rather not be racing a shiny red 420+ HP mustang on the streets, and love the deterrence the TracKey & GT500 mufflers provide.

congrats and welcome. Wheels look great. Front upper looks great! Maybe do lower too to complete it? Slightly lowered via springs would be good too. Other than that, done!
