What to do? thread revised!
 

I have been thinking about changing my hood to the 2.5" cowl hood.....I keep seeing yours on here and I am tired of having "cowl envy".... :)

I have also considered changing my wheels......maybe something a little different?

And now is your time...convince me to go whipple or kb......time is closing in on making decisions....


Or just throw it all away and get a new camaro?

Sorry...women change their minds alot..... I need guidance!!!

on which one of your cars and who's car are you referring to ?

Ya girl, "Which car you talking about?" I'm going to guess your talking about the sunkster if so I think the type of hood would look great on it and after seening 06elnor's God Speed Omega's in Black chrome inperson I'd say get those!!

Can't go wrong with the cowl. :) I have a 3" though, and I wish it was a little shorter for improved visibility. I guess its a good thing I'm 6'4" lol. I had actually ordered a 2.5" but got sent the wrong one. I wasn't home during delivery and my girlfriend couldn't have known that, so she accepted the shipment because everything was undamaged. At that point, I didn't bother to try and go with the enormous hassle of sending it back and getting a new one, etc etc.

As far as the blower, between those two I would do the KB personally. That new Techco also looks pretty nice, but its $$$.

i think the white car shes talking about i wouldnt change anythign on that one just get the pink kenne bell you always wanted haha

i like the idea of the cowl... but i really like the rims on that car... i think they work really well... and i would say KB... thats what i would go w/ if i were 2 change my blower...

and i hope u were kidding about the camaro comment

if its the white one the cowl would be cool and 20" dub big homie(5 spoke) in chrome, 20" foose hornets (in black), or 18" oz racing hydras(powdercoated black) if you want to go with a smaller, lighter rim.

I say a steeda cowl hood! as far as FI...KB is nice, but it doesnt have that whine like a whipple!

forget the hood, forget the rims.
go w/ the whipple first
your mustang looks great
but would look better going faster
nothing wrong w/ the KB
it's just that the whipple crew is cooler :cool:

hahah i say get the MAMMOTH KB!!! lol

and uhmmm def change ur rims.. just make sure when u box urs up you put my address on there before u give it to UPS.. lol

I am considering the Whipple non-intercooled....I want power, but conservative power as I am not looking to become the next NMRA champion at the dragstrip. I just want the car to have a little more "umph" to it. I also have to remember the car is an automatic, so it's not going to handle as much as a standard would.

The cowl hood will just be a little extra for me. :)

Thanks for all the insight into the changes I am contemplating.

I want 06elnr's hood......eaglestroker's wheels......onderful100's sc.....

if you've got the money to burn, put some more in the gt500 and just enjoy driving the skunk through town so people can ogle.

I have a little to play with...and I have decided to put a cai/tune, smaller pulley, lower springs on the 500....but that's about as far as I would go. Want to keep it relatively untouched if I can!!

I've been driving both cars a lot lately, and it is true. I get more looks and compliments on the white gt than the gt500... all it got me was a ticket! LOL! (well, actually a warning.....)

have you thought about putting the kr mufflers on the 500? some really nice videos of them. i'm in love with that sound, just don't want to put them on until i have some more beef inside the can. don't want it to sound too hollowed out. that and i want SOME bite to the bark.

as far as styling goes, i don't know what to say to put on the skunk, i think it's drop dead gorgeous.

btw, LUCKY on the warning, when i got pulled over, the cop told me to get the eff out the car. i was doing 7 over speed limit. he was like what is your damn problem, then he was like roll up your windows, let me see if they're tinted, do you have a effing front license plate? i was like WOAH, slow your roll. don't gotta get so rash.

S~ definitely get the cowl hood! Also go with the whipple non intercooled for the extra umph your describing and the GT500 will satisfy the craving for even more power!!!! Sounds like a plan that just needs to be put into motion.....go with your gut on this and keep it simple!

Its good 2 hear that you wanna wanna mod the 500, I just did the lethal stage 2 to my car and my god what a difference... Changing the pulley was a real bear tho... so i hope your ready for that... and the lowering springs were a must as this this was sitting up super high...

a lot of ppl are starting 2 do the KR trend but most who do are also switching over to a H-pipe, the ones who stay w/ the x-pipe are kind disappointed in just the KR's alone. They say w/ the KR's and the H-pipe it is one of the best sounds for the GT500's

You know you want some of this cowl hood action! You already have the horsepower in the GT500, so spruce up the Skunkster.

Or get the whipple. You're good either way.

Completely loving your hood.... :D

I must say the skunkster is certainly one of the best looking mustangs i have ever seen. The cowl hood will compliment her very well :p

And the pink whipple will wow everyone when you pop the hood! I cant wait to she her when she is finished again! Good luck Shella!

'sup Matt?

Hey Matt.....whats up? I dont see you as often online anymore? you go to a different shift? Keep in touch bro....like seeing your car and presence online more often!

imo, the cowl would look great on the skunk.....as far as FI, just drive your 500!

I wish I could get a cowl hood photoshopped on the front of the car to give me an idea what it would look like....but I really think the cowl hood will look great striped!!

Why not just drive the Shelby? It would be different if you only had one car and wanted to go faster. You wont get near the money you pay for an a/m blower when it comes time to change cars.

How many miles on the Shelby now? 900?

Actually I have been driving the Shelby. It had 900 miles when I parked it last fall....I refuse to drive it in the rain/sleet/hail/snow. Our weather is just now perking up.

I know I wouldn't see my money back out of the blower. Nor much anything else I've poured into these cars... ;)

And another reason??

The white car *is me*...and is my favorite.

The skunkster is more of your show car while the GT500 is the go car.
I suggest getting the cowl ;).

Just to give you an idea here is a quick one I did for you.

I would say this is very true degeze!

Thank you Cutter.....that gives me a better idea at what I would be looking at!

Good job!!

Not a problem sweetheart ;) I think you should go for it!

S, here are some pix that might help you out. Its a nice look. Can I suggest the rims on my car custom painted to match your theme? Has a deep lip out back and clears even the 15" Saleen Extreme Brakes.

Mellow!

Thank you so much!!!!! That super helps me see what it would look like!!! That's perfect!!

I like your wheels too!

No worries. Just found it funny when I read this, since I came across these pix just last night.

SADDDLEEE!!! fi your getting rid of your rims.. you might have abuyer already setup lol.. but i do love how they look on your car. and as fr as the hood.. get the COWL!!! looks amazing.

Those black chromes look perfect on that car, girl.
I'd leave that alone...

I gotta agree with Pascal on this one. They look at home on your car.

I think many of us like the black chrome on her!....maybe we can talk her into keeping them. I have a roll of sweetarts with her name all over them :)

No matter what she does it will look great, she has a good eye when it comes to the mustangs. ;)

cowl will be a nice touch. the pictures mellow put up are sick (as in good:))
