Default mods=addiction

Well title speaks for itself. It just wont stop! Well i got my car at the end of november and just made my first payment last week. Soon as i bought my first add on others just tended to follow.I just placed an order for a c&l racer intake w/tuner from brenspeed and the pypes mid mufflers...with wifes permission ofcourse
so just after about 6 weeks after purchasemods are now:
C&L racer intake
Mac longtubes
Mac off road prochamber
Pypes mid mufflers
hurts sts
BMR lower control arm & panhard bar
373 gears
8k HID kit
yellow fogs
Shelby gt500 chin and spoiler
I think i need to take a breather for awhile..lol.....Does anyone else have this problem????? Also a question, is a retune needed for the steeda pulleys? and are steeda delete plates worth it?? Thanks guys!! seeing peoples mods contribute to the addiction

Yeah, I got into trouble early with the mod bug.. I held off as long as I could, didn't get the CAI/tune until 5 months after I bought the car. Having an extremely active local Mustang club (over 80 members) hasn't helped, either.

Last week I just plunked down a bunch of peanuts to get what's in the sig. It'll be here Tuesday. (The chin spoiler I did 2 weeks after I bought it, but that's not go-fast, so it doesn't count).

Ive done alot already and just bit the bullet to go Forced Induction next week, so I have only one thing to say as I am helpless:



God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot "MOD";
courage to"MOD" the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.

My mommy always told me never to mix religion and mods.

I held off 1 year and 8 days before I got my first major mod.
I'm so proud of myself... AND my wallet. Ask me in another year though, you won't get the same answer. [8D]

Yeah... You can do cosmetic mods all you want and not get "the bug".. But after a cai/tune, you're just bitten.. You've gotten a taste of how much more the car has to offer, and it's a downward spiral from there on out..... :-(

LOL It's fun though. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

And hey - I see you have heated seats.. That's the only option mine doesn't have, and being a vert, I'd REALLY like them. I'm thinking about having them installed, but I want the buttons in the factory location. Where are the buttons? Also, are the factory ones just on/off, or do they have multiple stages of heat (hi/lo)?
