Default Looking for my first mod

Well I am in the process of saving up for a supercharger. I have not decided if it will be the whipple 400hp or the roush 400hp yet, though I am leaning towards the roush. However, I want to do something in the mean time. I have been thinking with a black mustang with saddle it would look really nice with two gold strips down the middle (I know the exact color isn't called gold). Here is a picture


What do you think?

If you are for sure going FI I would start with some suspension mods. Do you plan to lower it?? What are your intentions for the car?

My intentions for the car are to make it a very fun street car. I want to bump it up to 435hp and I love the wine of a supercharger... All these will be installed by my dealer, they are a roush and ford performance part dealer. So I have a great selection of getting some great things installed. Any suggestions for suspension? Anything else to get the car ready for a blower? And also opinions on those stripes with saddle interior?

I love the gold/black combo but I would have it painted on. Vinyl in gold or silver with metallic flakes don't last as long as a solid color, but you could have a coat of clear painted over the vinyl to help it last longer.

You could use the Ford "Arizona Beige".
It's a nice gold metallic IMO. Code is AQ.

Do they make a duck tail for the 2010 yet?

Duck tail spoiler...

My 01 F150 came with Saddle interior and a two tone paint job.
Wedgewood blue and Arizona beige trim.
Love that combo!
So, with black on the outside it will look cool mang

+1^ I like the spoiler you have now. I am not a fan of the ducktail spoiler, but it does look good on certain cars. I am not sure if the 10's LCA's are as garbage as ours but have you experienced any wheel hop?? If so I would change those out with some from BMR or another good company. Wheel hop can cause some damage if you dont get it taken care of, and it will only get worse with the s/c.
