I like my stubby antenna and have had absolutely no reduction in FM reception but Tampa is a decently populated city so I would assume the radio transmitters are close by.

I like my battery and master cylinder covers. You can get them for 80.99 now compared to 89.99 normally at CJ Pony and I am sure there is a forum discount to get even more off. They add some organization under the hood haha

Another neat cheap mod for those of us with base models is getting the automatic headlight switch. Under $20 and just replaces the regular headlight switch then boom. Automatic headlights when wipers turn on and/or it gets dark out. Adds that little something extra.

^ Anthony, I keep forgetting to get those darn battery and cylinder covers. I'm so glad you said CJ pony. If it was from that other store, it would never get purchased by me. lol.

Looks really good man!

Sound tube delete, painting coil covers blue, replacing map/license plate lights with LEDs, cutting stock antenna and valve cover breathers were all cheap and easy.

  • Sound tube delete (already mentioned, but makes things cleaner under the hood)
  • Painting coil covers Boss blue
  • Plasti-dipping my center bezel/console to match my Brick Red interior
  • Plasti-dipping (same red) the faux gas cap (plus some 3M DiNOC carbon fiber film)

I'm really thinking about about the battery and cylinder covers. But also I've been looking at the seat track extenders for tall people.

Folding key Fob along with the 5.0 sticker
Fits in my pocket better than the factory key.

I love mine but since I drive a v6 I just got the running pony logo. It is a cheap mod that gives it that something extra especially among your mustang friends

The Energy Suspensions polyurethane shifter mount bushing was about $15 and helped a lot with grinding into second and 3rd. Did not completely cure it, but made a pretty big difference for $15.

Those rocker stripes from AM would look good too. Pretty cheap mod. New shift ball (manual) Tint for the lights and side markers. A can of plastidip goes a long way too. I blacked out my spoiler, the gloss back decklid panel, and lower rear bumper valance.

G Wrecks, I would pull to my right if I saw your car coming, your front end looks absolutely menancing.

Smoked license plate covers add a nice touch. I'd call it more of an accessory than a mod though.

It was easy to set-up. I think the directions are in this thread.
