Tomorrow will officially be a year I've owned my GT. It's been a great car. I've done just a few mods so far.
Current Mods
- Complete FRPP Handling Pack including struts, shocks, K-springs, front and rear sway bars, and strut brace.
- Steeda short upper control arm, Steeda billet lower control arms, Steeda Panhard Bar, and Panhard Bar Brace.
- Ford Stinger axle backs
- K&N CAI
- GT500 Rear Spoiler painted to match
- Steeda Spyder wheels 20x9.5 front and 20x11 rear
- Nitto NT05s 275/35 20s front and 315/35 20s rear
I also purchased the CDC aggressive chin spoiler and Agent 47 side view mirrors that i need to paint and install.

This is how I bought the car December last year. Came with the Ford Stinger axle backs and K&N cold air intake already on it. Bought it from Milham Ford as a certified Ford used vehicle with 39k miles on it.



This is how she looks now...

Next mods will be big brake upgrade kit, Barton short throw shifter, Pypes Pype Bombs, and a front splitter kit.
Here's a couple more pics...



These two pics show how nice those 11" wide wheels tuck...

Thanks guys! Yeah the Tungsten gray is very unique. I almost passed up on this one for a black one identical to it. It had 9k less miles on it but the previous owner didn't take that good a care of the paint and the dealership wanted $2k more for it. It also isn't Ford certified with a 6 year warranty that I have on the gray one I bought. I picked this beauty up for $16,900 with 39k original miles and in near mint shape in and out. It's Ford certified for 6 years or 60k miles on the drivetrain and I added coverage for electronics. The previous owner also added a brand new K&N CAI kit on it and a Ford Racing axle back kit so that was included with the sale of the car when I bought it. When I got it home I opened the trunk and in there was the K&N CAI box. I opened it and the original OEM air box components were neatly tucked in there, Somebody took care of this car.

Only issues I noticed with it so far in the 4500 miles I put on it in the last year is...
- Upper control arm bushing was cracked and soon would need to have been replaced
- Lower control arm bushings starting to crack. I replaced all this stuff new with Ford Racing parts and Steeda parts anyways. No big deal.
- A/C compressor starting to get noisy, still works fine but noisy.
- Rear brake pads probably should've been replaced before selling it to me.
- The catalytic converter is rattling. Material inside is braking up on one/both. When it starts to warm up it stops. Car is also "growing" louder the more I drive it LOL. Not a bad thing, actually sounds good but it's droning a little now. This I believe will be replaced at no charge according to my mechanic. He used to be a Ford tech and told me that these issues should've been taken care of for the Ford certification. He did many of them. Small issues though.
