Cool How much would this Mustang mod cost me?

I want functional side air intake for the back wheels and the the side read windows to be functional as well.


I think in the original you could open the small rear side windows yes?

I was guessing around $18-$20k would sound about right yes?

My question is why do you want air intakes for the back wheels?
If it's for the idea of brake cooling, it's a bad idea on a street car. You need your brakes to come up to temp to work their best. Ducting is something you should leave for the track duty cars.

You're willing to spend $18-20K to make the side scoops and 1/4 windows functional?? Bring your car over to my place, I think I can whip something up for ya.

In all seriousness though, the above post has you covered. Running ducting from the 1/4 scoops for the rear brakes would be ineffective at best, and even if we were talking about the front brakes it is completely unnecessary on a street driven car.

The venting for the windows you're talking about is, on the 1965-68 fastbacks there was a vent there for the rear passengers. 65/66 Shelby's used a fixed window instead. Anyway, I saw in one of the Mustang mags a while back a kit that will allow for that 1/4 window on 2005+ cars to pop open and be used as a vent. It was pricey and a fair amount of work for the install.

AM has it here http://www.americanmuscle.com/popout...013&adtype=pla

Pricey but would be cool to have. Maybe the s550 will have these.

This looks pretty sweet. I'd be concerned it would leak. That's just my luck. Would LOVE to have a sunroof, but know it would leak. Just because it's on my car. lol
