I finally finished my stang! (pics inside)
You can go ahead and mark my words if you'd like, but I am going to say something that probably no other mustang owner on this site will ever say (or want to say) I am pretty much done with my car. I have it looking how I want. I have it how I want and I'm ready just to drive it around and enjoy it as a mode of transportation. I'm taking the if ain't broke don't fix it approach when it comes to adding more mods.
I got the car for a steal at 10 grand even and I've had it for about 3 months. It had only 23,000 miles, leather interior, shaker 1000, and pretty much any option except the sunroof. Then I added:
Alluminum Rear Louvers: $300
SHR Quarter Window Louvers: $350 + $80 to install
Rear Blackout Magnet: $40
Front Window Tint: $60
20x8.5 20x9.5 Nascar Fontana Rims & Tires (Gorilla Rim Locks, Calipers Painted Red, Mounting, Balancing, etc.): $1600
So the finished product ended up $10000 + $2430 for all the mods. A part of me wants to get a faux hood scoop but the idea drilling in the hood scares me plus I have some other finacial obligations right now because I own my own business. Oh yah, and I know everyone's going to say drop it but I got quoted $900 and really the gap doesn't bother me that much so that will probably not happen in the lifetime of this car. Here are the before and after pics:

Once again I gotta say I love those flush louvers and only $80 to install! Getting my car back later this week (hopefully) and this is one mod I'm wanting to do. Trying to save for a new 2010 (most likely a 2011) but might do this to hold me over.
