Coming to an S550 near you: SAME OLD MODS

OK, vendors. Time for a fresh batch of the same old stuff:

Chrome 5-spoke wheels

Chrome accents around tail lights, etc

Rear quarter glass covers with and without louvers

Louvres for the fastback glass

Fake hood scoops

Fake side scoops

Cold Air Intake (even if it offers no benefit)

Loud Mufflers with blingy chrome tips (even if they offer no benefit)

Is that a standard mod that people have been applying to these cars for years and years?

Wheels and exhaust are the standard mods that people do, we'll I do anyways. What's wrong with that???

Speaking of aftermarket wheels, I think something along this order would look good with the new body style.

THOSE WHEELS!!

I wonder why they never came out with colored cam covers / valve covers for the GT and V6 cars. They could be Ford blue or color matched to your paint. It's just a bit of bling but bling seems to be what most mods are about.

The new S550 gives me hope that maybe companies will release some good new wheels, with some fresh designs. Looking for some future wheels to replace down the line.

those wheels came from a dark time in mustang history, let's put them behind us, but let us not forget, least they happen again.

Ford offered quad exhaust on '69 Mustangs from the factory, and some people like that look.

The '13 GT500 was certainly not the beginning of the quad exhaust, nor the beginning of people adding it to their "lesser" Mustangs as a mod.

I don't think that's correct.
