Default 2006 Vista Blue

First off, everyones cars here look great! I'm very jealous. Second, I'm a new member with a year old 06 Vista Blue mustang. It has exactly2 modson it. Side window vents and spinners. I'm starting this post b/c I would love to get some ideas. There is so much stuff out the for a Mustang that it is slightly overwhelming. Thanks for any help/ideas you guys could give. Oh I also have a 68 cherry red Mustang too.

Sorry for the poor quality for the pics. They were off my cell. If these don't come out great, I'll take some later with my camera (if it EVER stops raining here).

Well as far as modding, the sky's the limit, actually I guess your wallet's the limit lol...but you've got a good forged rotating assembly (which we 4.6 guys don't #&*!) so FI down the road will be ok. A good first mod is the combo CAI/tuner (b*a*m*a* is well known for working slushbox magic)...maybe a trak-lok rear to give your pegleg the posi it deserves, plus a shorter gear...a dual exhaust conversion (you can start with a GT guy's factory mufflers [fairly cheap] and then go from there as far as what sound you like)...rear control arm upgrades will solve any wheel-hop problem (do sixers have it too? IDK) and sticky rubber wouldn't hurt. Sorry if I'm tossing too much at you at once, I just love it when a stocker throws this question at me! So the main idea of the above is, start with a CAI/tuner and go from there.

p.s. underdrive pullies wouldn't hurt either...

I love the Vista Blue! As far as mods, you need to decide if you want performance or appearance mods first, Heck, if you have the $ you can do it all at once.
I did the dual conversions now I'm looking in the market for rear window louvers. Then.....side scoops, leather embroidered head wraps, side louvers and so on. The amount you spend could go on and on.

+1 on the cai and tune.
thanks for all of the suggestions so far. I'm sorry to say but I'm not ALL that car savy. What are "cai and tune"? I've been reading a lot about it, but I just don't know what it is. Sorry, I know it's a dumb question.

Also, I'm looking to add a little bit to the appearance. I def. don't want it looking like some piece of crap out of 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS. Performance isn't a huge issue to me for two reasons. One, I would have bought a V8. Two, I get to go above 60 mph about twice a week where I live. It's ALL lights and traffic.

Here's what I'm thinking about so far:

Eleanor grill w/ fog lights
white duel strips up the car
was looking at a CDC hood scoop but I keep seeing it from different angles and like some and hate others.

Also, this will be a slow project as I don't have a ton of cash to throw at it at once.

Thanks again for the opinions/suggestions.

-Jaeger

Cold Air Intake and Performance Tune. You can buy some CAI that doesn't require a tune, but many say they aren't worth it.

Vista Blue is the best color IMO. Might I suggest a powerhouse turbo for your v6 application? There are some sick V6 turbos around. www.powerhouse411.net
Here's pic of my turbo VB GT.
