I havent even gotten mine yet...according to the dealer its still a month out. But I've just ordered MSR 19 inch wheels, falken tires, Eibach Pro springs, Tokico shocks and struts, and a Spohn adjustable panhard bar. This hobby is a wallet killer. MWAHAHA! I cant wait.

Same day! I ordered the Web Electric sequential lights before I took delivery of my car. I put the lights on the day I got it home. -Joe

Immediately - interior billet items, Two days - tint, three days-mirror, 1 week - signal mirrors. This car is fun to mod.

I had my Flowmaster axel-back’s on my living room floor two weeks before the car shipped and they went on at 500 miles. I added a K&N CIA tube at 2K and a Hurst shifter at 10K.

I bought my Stang only to modify it, I started with wheels and tires one week after I got it just to make sure it was not a lemon, after a couple thousand miles without problems (other than the thunking noise in the front end) I decided it was not defective so I ordered the engine and suspension mods. (It would have been sad to get a defective car just to realize that the guarantee is voided because of the mods.

I Put Rims and tires The day after I bought it, the day after that I had it Tinted, 2 days after that I had A Head Unit, replaced all the speakers, 2 amps and 2 subs (that took 2 days) then I had the weekend, then that monday I took it in for a Saleen Stage 2 S/C, Duel GT500 Fuel Pumps, SPEC 2+ Clutch, Full Exhaust (LT Headers/X -pipe/AT's) Lowering kit, Adj UC/LC/relocation brackets, Adj. Panhard, Frame Connectors,B&M Shifter.... I haven't gotten her back yet...It's been a week at the shop so far (still waiting for some parts)...So in the meantime I've been ordering shyt online... So far I've gotten in the black billet Fuel door, Pony Floor mats, MUSTANG GT sticker for the 3rd brake light, Sequential Brake Light kit, Pony head rest wrap, silver welting for the doors, still waiting on the Painted Louvers, Pony License Plate Bracket, Billet ***** and drink holder thing, GTO headlight black out, Hood Pins, GT Trunk lid mat thing...and probably some other stuff I've forgotten about....
