Why spend money adding parts when your body is about to take a dump on ya? Seriously give your car sum TLC son. Treat your car like you treat your gal

for real dude this post is a no brainer for any of us here on this forum i believe. U dont see any other beefed up stangs on here with severe body damage like that. That's just plain ugly bro.. Get that fixed and ride clean. Then worry bout performance later.

Take that bodykit off and go with the stocker.
I think it would be cheaper in the long run and look much better.
@AJB
NO OFFENSE !! Stalker Kits are FUGLY.
Maybe you can get lucky and find stock bumpers in your color that need a buffing.

BTW..Youre in MA ? Shoot me a PM we could be neighbors if near Worcester area.

seriously, fix that sh*t lol. even if you have to go to a junkyard and rip it off another car, you'll prolly be in better shape.

i think at that point a maaco job would look better :/.

i'm tempted to get out my HVLP and test some bargain paint i found online...
