Movin on up :D

So FINALLY...I ditched my 1995 v6 stang, with its glorious 8mpg, windows not working, doors hanging, body kit broken, paint ruined, release bearing SCREAM, and dirty interior, as of wednesday I have UPGRADED.

I went to a car lot, and picked me up an amazing clean 1999 V6 stang.

Black, 5 speed, already got cold air, exhaust (sounds great), projection headlights, and dumped my problematic cash collector off on him.

Right now I face a couple tough decisions, personally idk if i want Cobra - R rims or bullets, and do I want chrome or black w/ chrome lip? and whats the best cd player/speaker combinations for it? i'm open to any suggestions. pictures would be excellent from any of you fine forum members

I only want to lower it, put rims, and put a radio in it for now because it runs simply amazing, check it out, im ecstatic and I need some suggestions on performance and looks! Thanks.

Sorry the pics are kinda bad, ill get more soon. these were taken with my phone

for the stereo id do the mach 460 system that sounds amazing in my buddies 04 cobra

and for the wheels bullets are so common just do the cobra r's

Thanks ! I was thinking the same thing, the bullet chromes don't exactly look that great to me, with the exception of some cars.

Congrats on the upgrade and enjoy the small increase in power.

ditch the projector headlights they are ricey as hell. get some tinted all black NO amber headlights from AM
$199

grab a shorty antenna.
$19

throw on a hood scoop
$50+paint i think

wire in a mach 460 system myne is AMAZING.
junk yard or classifieds

torque on some black chrome saleen rims from cruzin concepts.
$1200+

dont lower it. intall some kyb manual adjust shocks and strusts and an anti roll sway bar. you will own the corners with that right there alone.
$500-800

dont forget some window tint and a fancy ho for the passanger seat.
$150 + $200hr

when ur all done make sure to stop by the bank and swear ull pay them back one day!

all and all CONGRATS on the new stang, it looks good

congrats on the new stang! I say throw the headlights off a cliff and then after that do what ya want.

Few cheap ideas, cut your springs (lower ride, more firm and responsive), shave or cut stock antenna, tint headlights/taillights ($10 for paint), move your stock spoiler back as far as you can (check the sticky for it), thrush welded series mufflers dumped ($80ish), K&N filter and removed air silencer ($40 same gains as cai). Just some ideas for you that will change how it looks and feels for under $150.

fordforlife0225 · 10-09-2009, 04:00 PM

yea ^^^^ but with some of that if u **** up your ****ed. like cutting your springs. and drilling new holes in ur trunk. and just buy tinted headlight, they are tryed and tested so you know they are not too dark and you dont risk them looking like ****. what i have found through out my mustang years.
1. you get what you pay for.
2. do it right the first time. or else it costs double.
3. read the instructions, twice

Shaunmac9128 · 10-09-2009, 04:15 PM

Agree with 1,2,3 and measure twice cut once lol. but if you take your time and go slow in steps, cutting your springs, tinting your head/taillights, and moving the spoiler back aren't that bad.
