Hey, guys. I have been putting together lists of appearance mods for a while now trying to determine the best list of appearance items to give me the most bang for my buck. I already have a GT500 rear valance, shorty antenna, and some hood pins, but nothing installed yet. So, for $1000, what would you suggest I add to my 2010 GT to make it stand out from the crowd? Graphics? Wheels? Body kit?Combination of a few items? Shoot me your ideas. Thanks peeps!

as you can tell from my last mustang, i like things simple. Wheels, hood with HOOD PINS(fiberglass hood that shook on the sides in the front), lowered, CDC ducktail spoiler and blacked out between the tail lights that you cant see.

Had the car 9 days, it's been tinted and my cdc chin spoiler, billet upper and lower grill are sitting in the garage. My SHR flush mounted louvers are on order, hopefully a week or two. Should be just a bit over a grand. Should also look good.
Still figuring out what to do with paint/stripes????

Ok, enough of the hood pins, please. I get it, everyone has their opinion. Like I said, I originally bought them for a Boss tribute type deal. If they don't fit the look that I end up with, I'm not going to put them on, but if I do or anyone does for that matter, don't bash it. Like dmhines said, everyone has different tastes

California special front end conversion for 550.00 you can't go wrong. You will need the GT adapter for the grille which I can't seem to find anywhere and have no idea of the price maybe 50.00 ? So 600.00 for a completely new front.

I want to do the handling pack, but that's more than $1000, so for 1 G I would do twin painted Guardsman blue stripes down the center of my car (as Kierankelly did).

Does anyone make the push-and-turn style hood pins for current models like were used on the 71-73 Mach 1's?

Most of mine are done. If you include the painting and the wheels it cost a lot more than $1000. You don't do it all at once in any case. I am thinking I want a real wing on the back and maybe change the grill and fog lights. Then the cosmetic stuff is all done.

so when I click INSERT IMAGE it tells me to insert the url. But these are saved mostly as jpgs on my hard drive. I have new picks of my upper and lower billet grill along with the cdc chin spoiler. love to post them.
Further Photo bucket is giving me the blues. HELPPPPPP!
