First mods after driving 2002 GT for a year...

can I compare it with a 1975 Trans Am with 150K miles and a bashed in rear quarter that I paid $500 for? if so, the mustang would still lose. Seriously though, good point. Some good koni shocks would probably help a lot. still, you don't know the joy of massive front and rear swaybars until you've tried it.

LOL
You shouldn't try to compare the handling of any car with 140,000 miles on the stock suspension (shocks especially) against another car.
Replace those old shocks and I bet your opinon will improve on the Mustang. While you are doing that, add a set of Ford C springs and it will handle A LOT better and still ride good (no other mods needed).

Fresh dog shìt and grilled corned beef hash are both similarly coloured steaming piles, yet far from desirably interchangeable (though I have been to some very bad diners in my life).
It's whether or not things compare fairly and favourably that is the issue...

We had some great weather last weekend so I splurged on a $20 Mother's Headlight restoration kit. 10 minutes with the cordless drill and my god awful looking headlights are crystal clear and shine like new. Makes the whole car look so much better!

How bad were yours when you started?

I've had good luck with the 3M kit from Autozone. It's like $20 and works great. Never used them on my Mustang but my previous Mercedes headlights were pretty faded and it cleaned them up very nicely.

I have the "GirillCraft" Sport grill, 4 piece, upper, lower, and fog lights. Looks outstanding! I am mental, but if you look on facebook, I am under Ron thomas, SC. my avatar is a pic of my Mustang; send me a"friends" request, and I'll let you in. I I have about 30 pics posted there. Peace.

I hear you my man but all I'm saying it that the 85 bucks you spent on a CAI system could have went towards something else (gears, suspension, exterior mods, etc., etc.,).. Belive me I had every bolt on under the sun and maybe had 270 rwhp (and that's pushing it). We all want to start modding but the best thing about MF (for you new mustang owners) is not to make the same mistakes that we did when we 1st bought our cars.. Not bashing you my man, so don't take it that way..
