Okay so I have got some extra money finally after owning my mustang for about two months. I have a 2012 HP white 5.0 Brembo Package.

So far I have,

Tint filmed tails, fogs, and f&r marker lights.
Gloss Black 5.0 Badges
Pypes pipe bomb axle back exhaust.
MGW Shifter (already paid, just waiting for it to finish production and show up)

My List of mods wanted now are:

JLT/Steeda CAI and Bama tune
X/H Pipe
CS front valence with Boss splitter
Switchbacks for turn signals, and LED reverse lights.
Lowering springs with struts and supporting suspension mods

I cannot decide what would be a better package to last me until early spring. Lets get some input on what will keep me happy longest.

 

Cai and tune are great mods, but many are concerned because it voids warranty.

 

The 2012s are much faster than the old 05-09. You should be happy performance wise for a while. Once you head down that road it can be addictive.

I would keep it cosmetic until you are comfortable with a warranty delete.

 

Start from the ground up, suspension first then mod the engine.

 

Yea im coming from a Subaru where i put almost 8k into performance mods.. then blew the motor, went back to stock, and here I am today. I figured a CAI and BAMA tune that has the motor guarantee should be safe enough til i void it.

 

Well the good news is you have the Brembos so that saves one mod. And I'm assuming it's a 3.73 gear car which saves another.

 

Suspension first and I can't believe "stormtrooper" was still available

 

yup lol

And yea im thinking H&R super sport matched with some konis and gt500 mounts

 

Stormtrooper,

Send me a PM with your budget and we can see what kind of package deal we can put together to provide you power and suspension.

We have a great track record with our CAI/Tune. We have had 0 engine failures/warranty denials when it has been installed on a consumers car.

Your in great hands with Steeda if you choose to our direction with a tune/CAI.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

TJ

 

PM'd. Can't decide what's gonna give me more smiles til spring!!! Haha

 

Bama warranties the #8 cylinder, nothing more. And it was done because they were the ones blowing up all the motors although they seem to have gotten better lately.

 

Do you have proof?

 

we all can't learn from Pm's please tell us all what was stated in the privet messages. maybe it can help other member too.

 

Pulled the trigger..

GT/CS front bumper with boss splitter.. No fogs though, the lower fogs didnt do anything for me.

LED switchbacks, and reverse bulbs.

Spring time tax return time will be cai/tune along with springs/suspension

: ) thanks to AMDanBailer for walking me through everything, and TJ@STEEDA we will be talking after winter about the above.

 

Too bad. A tune is, by far, the most rewarding modification you can perform to these cars. When you are ready, skip Bama and give Shaun from AED a call or an e-mail and go with the best.

Great choice! I did this on my GT as well and Im thrilled with it. Since you're not running the fogs (nor am I) you might want to pick up the Boss delete plates. They look better than the holes, IMO.

Then if you add the LS brake cooling kit later, you can reuse your original "holy" fog light plates.

 

Where can I find the lower fog delete plates?!?

 

Nvm I found them. For 40 bucks each ill make a grill for it. I'm pretty handy

 

Way to go!! Sounds like an exciting way to start and some great mods to come. Congrats. Post pics when you can!

 

That Bama only warranties #8 cylinder? It says it right on their site.
