Default Debating some more cosmetic mods...

Hey guys-

Im considering some more cosmetic mods and as always seeking your input. Mainly, is it worth it, where what brand to buy, etc.

1. Sequential Turn Signals, plug in kit is now on sale at AM
2. 8" Shorty antenna, I never really listen to radio and the long stock peice is an eyesore
3. Brushed aluminum billet fuel door, is it worth the $90?

Since you asked....

1. Turns: I love mine and would recommend that you purchase at AM.
2. Shorty: I love mine (14") and for the money, you can't beat.
3. Gas Door: Wouldn't hit a dog in the *** with one...but that's just me

1) I love 'em. Definitely an eye catcher
2) Looks good, but be prepared for a noticeable drop in range if you ever do find yourself wanting to go that route
3) Maybe. It all depends on the individual. If I had a full time job and was making more $$$, worth it. Since now I'm dealing with limited income being a student, not worth it. That 90 could go towards something else. like beer!!!

Instead of buying that super expensive 12 dollar antennae, just cut yours!

I like them all but the last option is really just a personal preference. The shorty is essential in my opinion and sequentials are awesome!

What color is your car? Some look really good with the right color fuel door and some look better without.
Sequentials look awesome, and every time I see someone's Mustang with them I am a little envious.
I would just cut the antenna. I haven't got around to doing it just yet but quite a few members have done it and it looks good.

I go to school at the University of San Diego, so im there about 8 months out of the year

My car is sangria red or candy apple red paint code JV

I would have gone black w the fluel cap but all m accents are crome... pony grill, faux fuel door, etc... used the powered by ford emblem to cover up a nasty scratch... to suddenly have a black accent would be unseemly I feel
