Do not put 20s on that car! its not a honda buddy! if you have much money you could easily get a decent one that requires nothing but a good compound to the paint and maybe a shampoo job on the interior. If you wanna make it look like an import just buy slow honda. Dont get a mustang if you want fuel economy either.

+1 lol.. if you have that much money to spend on a fox then buy a 5.0 and forget the 20" rims and all that bull. Get a real mustang and put ur money to use with mods.

I just want to see this guy try to make a 4 banger move with 1500 dollars worth of sound equipment, 18-20 inch rims and all the other useless crap he wants to throw in... 88-90 hp doesnt get you anywhere fast...

Wow, give the kid a break. Everyone can like what they like.

Your best bet is going to www.latemodelrestoration.com which was already suggested in here. You can get full upholstery kits, and pretty much anything you are looking for the car.

For rims that big your going to have to do some research, but I saw you stepped down to 17-18" which will fit no problem.

Good luck with the car and don't let these guys get you down.
