So, my girlfriend and I are going to Disney World in May. She just told me that once we return, she's going to let mespend about $1000 to convert my lowly convertible V6 into something nice.

So, the $1000 is going to be a starting point for now. What do you guys reccommend I do to start off?


I'll be adding GT front/rear bumpers in the next week or so hopefully, so that won't count towards my new mods.
A grand isn't enough, you need at least 2.

I already have the Eibach Pro Kit springs, just waiting to get them installed. I plan on probably doing the rear first, then moving on to the front.

Would I need to dofront/back at the same time, or can I seperate them? I don't want to do one, and it look stupid because it's not complete.


And to answer your question, I plan on doing looks first, then performance after.

It's SO nice when the girlfriend "LET'S" you spend your money...

1K isn't going to be all I spend, but it's going to be a start.

Keep the side skirts you have already, and get a GT500 front conversion. Also, eventually go with the black leather with red inserts as someone suggested already. Just my $.02

I will have a set of red leather from my GT in a couple of weeks for sale. Keep a lookout on the for sale section. Would look great in your car.

As for bodykit, piece together the items you like and make your own unique style.... like I did....






Good luck, and let us know what you decide!
