Thanks all! If you would like to know I removed all of the iso's when installing the H&R Race springs. Rides same if not better than stock.
I chose the wheels because I always loved the 03/04 Cobra wheels even when I owned Explorers. However I felt the 17" could use a little more that's why I opted for 18's from AFS wheels. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks for the suspension to settle then get it aligned. The steering wheel is just slightly off center.

Thanks! I loved my '05 and '08 I had. This is smaller inside and out obviously. Older looking radio, gauges, door trim, etc. I don't really care, I just like mustangs and found this one for a steal. I was shopping for 6 months.
I'm quite intimidated because I have no experience with superchargers and so I'm slowly learning what other oils, fluids, filters, etc that need care and maintenance. It's crazy sounding and the power is crap your pants fast.
Yes there's modifications:
JLT intake, SCT X3 programmer, Magnaflow exhaust 2.8 upper pully, UPR clutch quadrant, and sub-frame connectors. I personally just lowered it with H&R Race springs, and put the AFE 18" cobra wheels on 9x10 front and rear.
I'm done modifying. I don't care (seriously) about more power. I'm a looks guy and I just plan to go to as many shows as possible in and around town. I'll keep this forever and try to keep the miles low. I've put just around 250 miles in three weeks being excited of ownership. It has just over 44k on odometer now. The wife named it "Smoky". My truck is "Stony". And of course her car is "Lexi".
I paid 18k.

Thanks for the compliments. I agree, I feel like I got a great price. It was a private seller so that helps. It's flawless too inside and out, minus the understandable few tiny rock chips on the hood.
