Default First mods for 2014 GT. My first ever Ford.

I have always wanted a muscle car and finally decided to go for it. I have had the car for 2 weeks and mods are already finding their way onto my car.

So far I have gotten the Prokit springs, adjustable panhard bar, strut tower brace, and hood risers.

Mods to come, 3.73 gears, 19 inch wheels, eibach sway bar kit, gt 500 spoiler, different front grill with fog lights behind the grill, and Borla axleback exhaust.

This is the first time I have ever owned a Ford and man I am impressed. Anyone wondering if they should get the v6 or v8, there is no question.

Here are some pics.

I wonder how close having 255 / 40 / 19 will get my tires flush with the fender?

Thank you for the compliment. How can I go from nice car to bad ***? I think wheels will do a lot for it.

Wow Scott your a mod beast! Well of course I have spent way too much time looking at axlebacks, so it is either going to be gt500, hushpower, bassani or MBRP. OMG the options, of course I want low drone as well.

I would go Corsa or Borla but I dont have 750 bucks for that. Any thoughts?

Can't really be much help for you on this one. My requirement was 3" exhaust and there were not any options other than Magnaflow when I made my purchase. (Mine do drone with the catted X-Pipe), I agree Corsa and Borla are good choices. If you are not in too much of a hurry used ones do come up for sale from time to time. Link into the "for sale" sections of the various Mustang forums and keep you finger crossed.

Look into doing some longtube headers and a nice cat back exhaust system and maybe a cold air intake with a nice custom tune that will get the car moving and even a Boss302 intake perhaps

It's not the tires that will get you flush with the fenders, but the offset from the wheels. I'm not exactly sure what will get you there, but a good set of aftermarket wheels in the right offset will push those out there. Shop around and keep reading the forums, I'm sure you'll find the answer.
