I think she looks fabulous. The wheels are perfect IMO. If you are going to continue to mod then I'd suggest suspension. Just a little lower and you can trasnform that sweet thing even more.

Yeah I totally agree, this is definitely on my list of many things I wanna do, but before doing this I'm on the edge of swapping out my spoiler with a GT500 one and getting some stripes down the back that match the ones on my hood. My only issue is that I don't want to lose my backup camera, so I'm trying to figure out how and where I can relocate it. Any Suggestions?

This is solely my personal opinion so take it for what it is. I would invest in the suspension (at minimum some good springs and a panhard). That's really not that much money. The GT500 spoiler could wait. Like I said, that's what I would do. The stripes I understand because it keeps the same lines you already have on the front end. So, for me, it would be stripes and suspension and call it a day. I think the overall appearance of lowered would top the appearance of the GT500 spoiler.

No matter what you have a nice canvas to work with.

Any suggestions on what brand and type of springs to get? Preferably something that American Muscle has, since I have a $100 coupon code to use there. I did see some ford racing lowering springs on there but I honestly don't know a whole lot about this kinda stuff, and which ones would be best for my needs....(this being a DD) And what's the difference between k, n and p springs?

Looks great! Now you need some lowering springs.

Let me know how much of a drop you are looking for and I can recommend some for you.

The different letters denote the different spring rates and how low of a drop you get. For instance, the estimated drop for the K spring is 1.5" front and 1.5" rear. The P springs are less of a drop at 1" front and 1" rear. It all depends on how low you want to go.

AM sells Eibach and that's also a good choice. If it were my decision, and I had to order from AM, then I'd probably choose either the Eibach pro or FRPP P springs. Both are a nice way to take the 4x4 look out of these cars without giveing up much ride comfort. It won't be as "bouncy smooth" as stock; rather, more planted and looks a heck of a lot better IMO; more level. I went with Steeda Sports and don't regret it whatsoever. Mild drop is what I wanted...and exactly what I got (approximately 1" front & 1.25" rear).

However, it's also addicting...beware!

The only other thing you would need is an adjustable panhard bar to bring the rear back to center. Easy to install and easy to adjust. If you are not going to do all the work yourself then have whomever you are paying put it on at the same time. I went with a BMR adjustable PHB, but only because I had a coupon too. Saved me some cash which is always a good thing.
