Help planning mod roadmap?
Hi all,
I just picked up this new (to me) '08 GT/CS:
This weekend I swapped out the stock exhaust for an axel-back dual Cherry Bomb Extreme setup with 3.5" SS tips. Needless to say, I looooooove the new exhaust.
I need help planning my mods to this car. It is a daily driver so I'm not looking to get too crazy. I figure the best way to do this is to list the ideas I have had and get a "Yay" or "Nay" from the gallery and an idea of which mods to do first. (A mod priority list, perhaps?) Of course, any other ideas are always welcomed
Just for starters:
Roush quarter window louvers. (Black or Dark Candy Apple Red?)
A non-stock wing. Either the GT500 or Roush wing?
Either a black decklid panel or tinted tail lights to break up the "red everywhere" look I currently have going on with the rear of the car.
Last but certainly not least, the hood. I want a scoop in a bad way. Would you recommend a scoop "Add-on" or an entire new hood?

Really nice car. For the hood I would just order a new one. I like the Mustang lowered just a bit, so that could be another mod in the future. I actually like the wing you have so that might be one you do later. Does she have a tune and CAI? That would add some more power and better throttle response. Definitely get the louvers. Try just the deck lid panel and leave the lights as they are.
But overall that's a really nice car.

Sometimes less is more. That car looks pretty bitchen as is.
I believe if you need someone else to tell you what you should do, the answer is nothing at all. Drive it, then drive it some more. After a while, things will come to you that are meaningful to you. That's the important part.
