Blue Notch

Thought I'd finally make a thread. I've been going to do this for a while but just haven't gotten around to it. Only took seven months.

First saw it last May on the dealership floor. Manual with 400A, Brembo package, and Reverse Sensors/Security package. Fell in love but didn't think it would ever be mine.




Finally gave in last June and traded in my '02 GT after getting a great deal (still miss that car).









Mods so far:

• Bob's Oil Separator
• Craig's Custom Front License Plate Bracket
• Borla Stinger Axle-backs

First rev:
On ramp:

• Clear front sidemarkers
• Tinted reverse lights
• Focal 130KR components (front - removed rears)

First test: (since remounted)

• Alpine 12" Type R in corner of trunk (from my '02, will eventually upgrade)
• Alpine PDX-V9 mounted under rear deck

Audio system:

• LMR shorty antenna

Mods waiting to be installed:

• Boss 302 Side Exhaust
• Redline Tuning Hood Struts
• Raxiom Smoked Fogs w/ Halos (normally not a fan of halos, but they work here)
• Roush Front Chin Spoiler
• Rear side and rear bumper marker tint
• JL ZR800 Midbass Speakers (currently backordered, need to cancel and order elsewhere)

Current Future plans:

Suspension:

• Steeda Sport Springs
• Koni Yellows
• Steeda Ajustable Panhard Bar
• Steeda LCAs (undecided)
• Strut Mounts (undecided)

Audio:

• Kenwood DVD Receiver (undecided, don't need nav)
• iDatalink Kit
• Move tweeters to mirror covers

Exterior:

• Boss 302 Grill
• Matte Black Supersnake Stripe
• GT500 Spoiler
• V6/Boss Rear Decklid Panel
• Roush Side Splitters
• Window Tint
• Clear Bra (should have done this first, but I wanted exhaust )
• Wheels (something black with a polished lip or something gunmetal - I think it's a lost cause )

Engine/Other:

• Intake and tune? (Don't want to give up my warranty and not sure the Ford Racing one is really worth it).
• MGW (stock shifter sucks!)

Just a few more pics.

Saving this place for later

I remember when you didn't like the 13/14. Said it looked ugly on the front. Like a Dodge.

GrnT

Bout time Nathan. Looking good man. I like your aspirations. Cool.

2k7gtcs

So you'd rather live at home under the thumb of 'the man' and spend money on mods than get your own place.

GrnT

Kind of You would be happy in a studio apartment

laserred38

I remember this too.

I know the feeling lol. Hey S gonna HTF soon anyways...may as well live it up now before we end up in WWIII...

2k7gtcs

I think he lives at home just for the garage

Blue Notch

It grew on me.

Thanks Mark!

You can't have everything.

I'll get out eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Blue Notch

This.

And why I can't live in an apartment!

2k7gtcs

You don't want to live in an apartment with your car. Believe me. You would be a basket case. You need a place with at least a single garage. Whatever that may be.

GrnT

Distressed housing with an awesome Garage.

2k7gtcs

Nathan is car poor

Blue Notch

I know. I need more money!

tom281

Hey Nathan nice car and nice mods so far! Borlas......great choice! Is that the "Power" series of Focal components?

Blue Notch

Yes, those are the K2 Power series. They sound incredible. Got them scratch and dent from crutchfield. I wasn't going to spend that much, but I kept inching my budget bit by bit (guess who's to blame for that? ).

cdynaco

It's because he saw the 15.

Blue Notch

There's that too.

laserred38

I know nothing. I say nothing.

My stereo is still stock LOL. I fricken hate it. Can't stand the rattling door panels at even the lowest volumes!!

Jazzman442

Laser what stereo did you get?

I have a 2014 GT with the Nav Radio. The radio is OK but when I stream Hi Bit content or use a USB with High bit Content it is like having a totally different system. I really can not believe it. At that point I do not want to change a thing other than a Powered Sub.
