Default Let the MODS begin.

Finally decided to MOD my 2014 Convertible. Thought I would use this post for before/after.

The parts will be here by next week, can't wait! Will get some before and after photos up!

Was never big on spending $ to mod cars, but I talked myself into it. Baby steps for now, still thinking about a front chin splitter and some side scoops, but let me see how these MODS look first.

Yup, I am afraid of that. Parts coming March 9th, can't wait . I haven't modded a car since high school, dead serious. It's a little easier now being older and making $.

Money well spent. Don't have too many hobbies. Just bicycles, cars, basketball, tech, and beer....

And shoes...LOL

Mind if I ask from where?

Looks like the American Muscle page I have seen too often to me.

Yes, parts are from AM.com. Free shipping, but takes 1 week to get to me from PA to CA...the agony! Good site.

So, it just finished raining over here. Figured I would snap a couple on my way from the grocery store. Not nice pics, just realized it would have been better to get better overall body shots for the car before/after....oh well.

MMD rear diffuser, GT500 rear wing, CDC gt500 grille

Was really easy to install everything. Going to order a lower grille next and a chin spoiler for sure.

Then, when I need tires, 20" wheels.






Front grill stock





Stock spoiler

CDC grille





Was shooting in the sun, sorry!

Thanks! The rear wing and diffuser was a huge plus. The wing angles really complement the rear. It looks really good in person.

The front grille was Ok...I think I just need a chin spoiler and a lower grille to match, then it will look perfect.

I'm just stuck on which chin diffuser to buy. The Roush one is nice, but too involved install wise. The MMD is easier to install, but doesn't look as good as the Roush...
