lol... mine will be the never-ending ModMobile!!

The mods might slow down a bit after everything in my sig is done, but I doubt it. I don't even list stuff like the hood struts (done), shaker scoop, chin spoiler, custom paint, racing wheels/slicks, etc. Not to mention any interior stuff (e.g., my dash kit is arriving tomorrow), and maybe replacing the Shaker 500 with the Hawgman 1000. [8D]

I may even be forced to put a roll bar/cage in when it runs 11's (some tracks don't seem to like that number w/o a cage).

Hell, there is probably a dozen more things I'll do that I haven't even thought of yet.

cha-ching!! god, I love this stuff!

You're a madman don. You need to post a clip of those SLP pro-flo's once you get them. I, and I am sure many others are waiting to hear the difference between the SLP pro-flow and SLP loudmouths so that we can order already. I'm also interested in how that C&L CAI/Predator combo works, I'm getting ready to order that stuff soon as well.

Yeah, any mods at all. Theres got to be SOME one out there that bought it and just drives it. I hope to see more replys when I come back on tomorrow. Polls and forums in general are no fun if no one posts.

Being a big fan of the Barrett-Jackson Auctions (too bad there's not on in L.A. this june!) I have a tendency to want to keep everything the way it came. In Car Search, Jackson really emphasized the importance of the VIN # and having everything match. But seeing how there might be better Mustangs in the near future, ie. more HP, maybe it would be like keeping a stock '64 1/2. Maybe modify this one and hope for a 66 or 67 equivalent for the future.
Of course, seeing how this has to be a daily driver I probably will make no mods to the engine. But hey, if I win the Lotto... who knows!

The first thing I did was order some Xenon side mirror covers and havin them painted - these mickey mouse mirrors look terrible on this car! Also put Flows on it which are awesome.....changed the antenna as the original one was way too long but would eventually like a automatic one......finally getting new rims in next couple of weeks.....after that I will probably change a few things after getting new ideas!

The one thing I wouldnt change is the interior as I think it is perfection - especially red interior which I love, I honestly couldnt think of a thing I would change!

I had the GT replacement wheels sitting in the garage a month before the car was delivered....wife did not understand. Have since added a clear bra to the front end. Have Wet Okole seat covers on order. Idea rich, cash poor at the moment.....

No mods YET, unless you count window tinting and a Viper alarm system a mod. But plenty to come in the not so distant future.
