Default Fun Mods Suggestions

Hey everyone its been about 2 months since I even logged on to the site and it makes me kinda sad. I've just been so busy with school and everything else. However there is good news...I've been bitten by the mod bug again. I'm not going to be able to do any serious mechanical mods, but I'm interested in doing some fun appearance mods. This would include louvers, wheels, interior LEDs, etc. If anyone has any suggestions for me that would be very appreciated.

Here are a few...

- Smoke tint on your tail lights and front turn signals
- "Mustang" decal on your third brake light.
- Front chin spoiler
- Painted calipers
- Decklid panel or blackout panel
- Lowering springs

if you want interior led's, go to amazon and purchase the LED Glow interior lights. it comes with 4 led strips, with 7 colors, 7 color changing sequences, and even plays to music. about 40 bucks i paid and im lovin them. installation is pretty simple if you know your simple wiring and splicing techniques.

I agree on the decal on your third brake light. About $9 shipped, installs in about 30 secs and looks pretty cool, one of the simpler things you can do bang for buck.

My boy 07BLACKGT made a pretty sweet write-up that even I was able to follow without hiccup. Here it is:

https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...-lighting.html

I believe page 2 is where the write-up begins.

But BR07 has several other sweet mods I also gypped from him, like suede headliner/A-pillars. I can throw some pics up if you want, but the A pillar wrapped in suede made my interior look 100 times nicer and even took care of a few rattles. Plus the ladies love the soft

YES.

Listen to his advice. The suede headliner/A pillar mod is a great one.

I really like the painted louvers I purchased from American Muscle. They are the same as the Roush, however they are applied with 3M tape only. The paint matches perfectly and the fitment is really good. Make sure to prep the area really good, before applying the 3M tape. Also, the temp needs to be warm and dry in order to adhere and cure properly. I also recommend purchasing more 3M tape, for extra support. I picked up Super Duty 3M tape from Home depot.
