Cool Making my Stang my own.

Hey all most of you guys have seen my multiple threads on what I want to do with my car and what I aim for in the final product. Although until recently as you may also know I couldn't make my mind up for the life of me. Now though I have basically put the first railroad track down with my first "Major" mod with my GT500 Front End Conversion and the bug has seriously bitten hard once again in fact I would not call it a bug but possibly a Great White Shark or a Crocodile or maybe even a Cobra =)? Yeah lets go with the mod Cobra. The venom is now running through me and my car and I just can't stop thinking about what I want to do next so today in my full on ADD state I have made a list of mods I would like to do that are all in my price range and possiblities. They will not happen all at once they will be over a slightly longer strand of time but you can look forward to the final product with me and invision it. Your opinions are more then welcome but I think I have made up my mind on this one and I just thought i would let you all know. I have learned so many things from all of you guys in the 2005-2010 section in the past 3 months that its scary and I know for a fact my car would still be 100% stock if it was not for many of you guys giving me your advice and opinions anyway here's the list let me know what you think =). I basically covered every mod I plan on from top to bottom I plan on doing all of them myself aside from painting parts and the cams and Gear installs. Enjoy and thanks for reading yet another one of my threads =).

They are in this thing called a Sandisk Extreme III 4G Memory Card inside of my Nikon Coolpix P80 Camera inside of it's case which is inside of my dad's apartment. If you wanted specifics =) but it turns out they can't magically appear on a computer screen unless you take this umbilical type cord and plug it into the computer like the camera is it's baby and when that happens then the pictures will be magically revealed to you... just an FYI on a serious note I will post the pictures in this thread for all of your enjoyment. Anyway what do you think of my planned mods for the future? Or do you not care until you see pictures. Haha.

Sounds good, man. A few aren't my taste, but looks like you've thought it through. One thing I would add is an adjustable panhard rod. Since you're doing the lowering springs, you're going to need to realign the rear axle, especially if you're gong with the bigger wheels (staggered... I'm guessing 20x10's in the rear?) the misalignment will be even more prominent and you may even get a few small rubs. In the grand scheme of things, it would add less than $150, tighten up the rear end, and make sure everything is properly aligned. Money well spent in my opinion if you're going to the effort to do everything else.

Good call man what is a good brand? I am pretty sure I have heard BMR and Adjustable Panhard in the same sentence before.... haha but that is a good idea. Joe already mentioned my tire alignment was off and that is what I figured because when I am going 70+ there are times were I feel like the car is kind of trailing off a bit... like gliding over 5 inches when I am not turning the steering wheel... I assume that's what causes that I should probably make that one of the first things I do. And yeah I will be going with 8.5's in front and 10's in the back.

AMort how can you say that when they make your car look so damn good! Haha I like the look of them alot they look mean and they look great with a red caliper's behind them. Also MRR GT-1's are a bit more expensive and they don't have that look I am really going for... although they are nice and if I had cash in hand and walked up to a guy selling them I would probably just go for it the Foose just seem alot easier to come by a good deal on and once again they look MEAN. =) haha
