Default Story of my mods to black vert

Hi !

I have a 2006 GT Conv. with automatic and ithas been in the forum here and there in different threads but I thought I write s short story what I have made for it.
I bought the Stang over a year ago and had the dealer replace the factory spoiler with a ducktail made by Blankenship Aero.
I drove the car like that pretty much a year and then decided to get some new tone, and installed FRPP GTA axlebacks, and have been
satisfied with them. Time goes and I'm looking for new look and finally decided to buy gray Foose Nitrous 20" wheels, 8.5" front and 10" at rear, with
Hankook 105H tires, 255/35 and 275/35 wide. But that's not all, just recently I changed the clear turn signals and clear rear side light.
So this is how it looks now.

What next.....
I've ordered Steeda CAI and tuner from Brenspeed, and I've ordered Steeda Sport springs also... no plans after that.

Looks like you had a plan and then executed it...way to go partner....I am waiting for my DD Chrome Bullitts (18x9) all corners to arrive, then I'll be done with the appearance mods....I think...

Very nice!! It's funny how we seem really happy with our cars after mods, until you come up with the "I gotta have that" mod....but that's what makes our cars sooooo cool....

Looks great, and will look even better after you get those springs. Id also say a CDC Classic would look good as well.

Looks great dude, Get the springs and go the extra mile if you can afford it with adjustable Tokico D-Spec struts and shocks. You will not regret it!

It's good that these cars are not that expensive to mod, espesially compared to European cars, so once you start, you easily continue
The "dropped Mustangs thread" was great, I looked the pics there and decided that 1-1.5" drop is good for me and went for
Steedas as I don't want the ride to be too hard, but still make the car a bit better looking, so let's see once I get them installed.
And the CAI with tune, just couldn't pass that

1+ if you dont want to drop the front and just the rear it will still look great. Just an FYI. Car looks great!

To continue old story...

I got the Steeda CAI and Brenspeed tune, just awesome.

The car changed a lot, response to throttle is far better and automatic shifting is very hard at fast acceleration.

But that's not all. This is where I'm now

I'm installing the Steeda Sport Springs so I'm going to have a mild 1 & 1 1/4 drop, but run out of time today to finish it (started too late) , now I have one corner left to do.
Have to say that it was a bit of pain to install the rear springs because vert has those stabilizer/support bars in rear, the rear axle
doesn't drop same way as in Coupe. Any way now they are on and tomorrow will finish the front.
