Suggestions for the next mod project would be a dual exhaust kit and some lowering springs.

O.C.D. - I'm still on the fence as to whether I leave those rear louvers on. Depending upon the angle you look at the car, they either look BOSS-ish, or like the DeLorean out of Back To The Future. Was gonna paint them the color of the car, following the stripes, but I think that'll make them look even larger. Here's a pic that's a bit better.
The good part is it takes away from what I consider the hideous tail lights. That rear end, just plain, screams "passenger car". IMHO.
Marcello - I'll email you a couple of shots. Would like to see it on your website!

Ltngdrve - agreed an inch or two lower would look AWESOME, but I've already cracked my lower valance once on a parking horse. Add to that I have a small step in my garage, so another inch lower and it'll hit. And the Chicagoland roads absolutely SUCK! And unfortunately it'll see some snow driving, too. Tempting to put something in that's more adjustable, but that opens up a whole new set of problems. Guess I'm gonna live with it.
Dual Exhaust, CAI, Tune, LSD, low rear gear all next steps. Once warranty is over, time to break open the block and heads - or get me a crate engine. Teaching my 14 year old about auto mechanics....so don't mind him playing with a V6 first.

My Mustang finally came in. I took delivery Friday afternoon and today I found a body shop to install the SHR louvers that I bought a couple of months ago. I went to four shops before one wanted to do them. I bought them pre-painted so they only have to install them. Anyway, July 13 is the day Wildfire goes under the knife. I'll post pictures after it's done.

No, I got them pre-painted from SHR. I first went to a body shop that has done work for me before. They said no, we don't do custom stuff like that, but you should go to X. Went to X and they said, No, we never do stuff like that, take it to Y (a glass shop) down the street. They said Boy, those are cool. But you need to go to a body shop. We can't do them. So I went to the Ford dealer's body shop. The guy there said that there's no way to remove the factory glass without scratching the fenders up, so he's not going to do it. I knew of someone who knew someone who has had it done before so I asked him who can do it. He gave me the name and address and they gave me a price, so I booked the job.
I suppose I could have gone to every body and glass shop in Fargo-Moorhead looking for a cheaper price but I just didn't want to spend an entire day at it. At least this place has done them before.

I've had my SHR louvers in for a week now but the weather has been lousy so I still don't have any pictures. If we can get a day or two when it will be sunny, I'll wash the car, find someplace without mud puddles, and take some snapshots. You'll just have to take my word for it for now, the louvers are beautiful. If you can only afford one body modification, this should be it.
