RE: 18th Birthday coming up for my boy...ideas for the GT
Here's what comes to mind when I see that picture... from that you can decide what to get him
Needscool18" Rims
Needs aftermarket exhaust
needs to be lowered
but the car won't really feel all that much different to drive until the CAI and tune...but that's up to you

RE: 18th Birthday coming up for my boy...ideas for the GT
The car has been lowered on Ford Racing springs...looks much better and handles much better on the track
I went ahead and ordered the Roush Spoiler, Roush Exhaust, Roush Pedal set and I think I'm going with the CDC chin spoiler...they're going to install everything this Friday.
Since he's going to still be here when I need to take it to the garage I've already planned a mean trick...I'm going to drive it to work Thursday and then call him and tell him, "I don't know what happened, I was driving down the highway and it started hesitating and smoke was billowing from the exhaust."
He'll be so pissed...HA HA
My son gets back from New York Sunday and I'm going to have it sitting in the driveway

RE: 18th Birthday coming up for my boy...ideas for the GT
If you guys like auto racing, you could look into brake and susp upgrades. I cant wait to change my pads and lines cuz i cant stand the way my car brakes after crossing the 1/4 line. I'm 23, and here what i plan on doing even though it might take me 10 years to do it(College
-Intake/Tune
-Brake pads/lines
-Cam(sounds SICK, and the frpp doesnt even add that much hp,15 i wana say...)thats a + for u
-Ducktail
-All ready have a exhuast, but I think every stang should trash the stock system.
-Would lov to go w/ the roush handling pkg, however i prob get sway bars, and lower it.
-Stripes?not sure
-Wider tires.

I just wanted to feel out the team on some mods I was going to do for my boy next week.
His Mom is taking him to New York for a Yankees game before they tear down the old girl and move to the new stadium.
I've been talking to the Roush dealer here in Birmingham and I think I'm going to go with the following and I'd like the crew's thoughts:
Roush spoiler
Roush exhaust
Roush Billet pedal set (dead pedal included)
Total for all this is around $1,200 for parts and labor.
Would you do something else?
P.S. mods on her right now are FR springs to lower the ride, some billet accents inside the car and hood pins.
I don't want a tune right now because he is 18 and 300HP is enough right now. Maybe later.
Thanks for reading and your thoughts

as the stock suspension has a lot to be desired. Then get the
show, but not before the stoping and turningissues have been addressed.
Wait on rims and see how the stockers fair with his ability to negotiate
drive thru curbs and such seeing how hes a new driver.
Do you just want to add the bling and no stopping or handling mods?
