New Car To Me..Any Suggestions

Hey guys/gals! I just got a 2010 V6 Automatic Premium Package this past week and was wondering what I should do it..I wanted a V8, but insurance would have killed me and I got it for a great price, so I went ahead and got the V6. It's a great car so far, but I cannot decide what I need to do to make it look better..Thanks!

Congrats on a great new ride!

The #1 thing that improves the appearance of these cars (IMO) is a drop in the ride height...they instantly look way meaner and sleeker. After that, I'd suggest some wheels. The FRPP Track Pack wheels in black might look fantastic with your stripes.

In the end, it's your car... Do some searches and see what others have done....just keep us posted.

You could've done worse

At least it already has tint. Personally, I would remove the white stripes. I love the pony emblems and grille of the Pony Package though. Then I'd lower it as suggested above and put some wider wheels on it. There are lots of threads on here about good suspension kits, but if you're 18 and short on cash, I'll assume you can't spend too much on mods either.

I'd go with the Steed Sport springs and their adjustable panhard bar, and then the Koni STR shocks and struts. If you can't afford new wheels and tires yet, go on amazon.com and get a set of 1" wheel spacers front and rear. The stock wheels will look much better pushed out to the fenders, and the spacers will only run you about $100 for 4.

Then I'd pick up a Roush or GT500 rear valance and do a dual exhaust system, FRPP makes an X-pipe and good sounding axleback that will bolt right on once you have the rear valance. Do a search of a member on here, "Siberian Express" as he had a 2010 Pony Package too and made his car into one nice 2010 6er!

That is a pretty car. I agree with changing the wheels but I kind of like the stripe.

nice car. a dual exhaust setup and gt500 valance would defiantly be my first mods. i have a mustang club of america grille if you want to buy it. it looks pretty much the same as the California special GT's grille. pm me if youre interested.
