Agree!

I have all three of those things and they are a good bang for the buck. You can install all of them yourself and the cost is just about right within you budget.

I'm hoping between Christmas, My B-day, and my anniversary, I can score a painted chin-spoiler and rear-window louvers. (About $850.00 total)

Then, I'll redo my stripes with di-noc carbon fiber vinyl and get my CAI with tune... then I'm done. Can't think of anything else I want or need.

I say leather seats. It's one of those things you will notice every time you get in the car. Same with the pioneer 3200.

My two cents.....get the Front Bumper. It will give your ride a much more aggressive look, especially if you get the GT/CS or the GT with a chin spoiler. I like stereo's, but for me personally, as long as I have satellite radio and a way to play my ipod I'm good. Now, if there was a head unit the had the Mac iOS, I might be swayed, as I love my iPhone/iPod, etc.

I say don't get a stock GT front bumper. Everyone has one and it makes it seem like you are trying to be a GT. At least go for the GT/CS. That's what I will do. After all, you want to set your car apart, right? Not blend in with the crowd.

Tanner,


GT Front bumper I would say, that was one of my first mods really changes the whole look of the car. I have a Pioneer 3100 about to swap out it for the 3200, really go quality headunit.

If I can afford it I will go with the CS, but the main deal is getting that UGLY V6 bumper off my car. That is honestly the only part of my car that I don't like. Lol I can't help it that Ford made the V6 front end ugly.

And mine is an '05 so it doesn't have the aux port. :/

RedFire, if you don't mind me asking about how much did your front bumper run you? And did you install it yourself?

I got my GT front as a painted takeoff on ebay for $230 shipped. You'll need a GT grille as well but deals are out there
