anyway, back to your car.. If I had your car and that money, I'd look at Raxiom tails or a front splitter of some type.
I think he should put black stripes on it!!! Black stripes would look sweet.

matte black is by far the best stripe combination for Kona.

2nd best, but that's okay.

Haha... She actually laughed when I told her I would ask my forum buddies for ideas of how to spend the 250. She thought I would spend it right away. She might be right. Lol. And no 250 for her btw, just me.

Door speakers? I say no, because I hardly listen to radio/sound system at all since I have the windows down all the time trying to listen to those borlas sing.

As for new front grille, I would have to lose my fog lights I love those fogs. You mean like a Saleen grille right?

No hood pins because I'd have to put a hole in my hood :'(

Heres the link... http://www.autogeek.net/porter-cable-flat-pad-kit.html you get to choose 6 pads of your choice and it comes with some microfibers to!
Ahhh Joey... Detailing. You must not know me on this forum yet. Detailing is my passion, and was my business at one point. I have all the materials, equipment, and LSPs you can imagine. I won't admit how much I have spent on detailing items over the years (hint, my wife doesn't even know. So ssssshhhhhhhhh )

Thanks Kyle, now I have to visit American muscle. I just think they're overpriced sometimes.

the filter is the K&N one yes.
Thanks man, doing research on air raid tonight. So any power gains? Or just sound? And how often do you oil the filter? No issues with the MAF sensor fouling up?

I'll pass on the raxiom tails since aftermarket lights are never Oem quality. As for grille, what were you thinking? I'm interested.

Oh man... I would love matte black stripes. But I worry too much about my paint getting covered up. What style stripes, joe?

On your model, if it were my car, I'd do similar to my front end. GT/CS grille with GT/CS front splitter and relocated fogs with HID conversion. Eitehr way I'd do the front splitter and fogs, and if not that grille......the stock style pony delete.

chunk of plastic on the side of your car that sticks out. a total gimmick, IMO.

I got mine fire 150 last year from CJ. You would be surprised at what they do for the overall aesthetic of the car. They even out the body line making the car look lower and more aggressive. They cast a shadow against the curves of the stock rockers and flatten out the body line. I think roush came up with an amazing solution to protecting the car from rocks and splashes that occur.

They do their job well and I love them.

I don't know, it looks like a truck running board. I've never seen such a thing on a mustang.

Standard on the 10-14 Roush mustangs. Supposedly they help the aerodynamics.
