Default Small mod...but here's my new shift ****!

Planning on some bigger mods in 2011 haha, but doing some small stuff over the winter. My car didn't come with a dome light lens, so bought one from CJ Pony (lens not pictured obviously), and also bought this new Ford Racing leather/brushed 5 speed shift **** from the same place! I'm sure a million of people have this and have seen em, but here's mine...I think it's a big improvement!

Every little bit counts dude. Man I love your car. I'm thinking about getting me a Fox body in 2012 (summer). I'm hoping by then to have the New Edger as a track only car and have the Fox as a DD..

Man you have (IMO) the best looking, best bang for the buck mustang ever built.. As far as getting rid of the New Edge it ain't gonna happen ( my wife would kill me). I plan on taking her off the streets in about 18 mths and using her strictly as a track car. Would love to have a 5.0 LX tho. Man those cars bring back some good memories!!

I appreciate it, but if you saw it in person you'd change your mind haha! But I figured I'd start with the stance and wheels/tires, getting it as clean as possible and go from there... I think it'll look good after I get the small dent over the drivers side rear wheel fixed in March (that's why all the pics are from the passenger side hahaha), and I think it'll look a lot better after I get the whole thing painted (stock color). I think keeping it clean and simple with subtle/tasteful mods is the best, and it looks like you have that super clean taste too. You have that awesome lowered/tasteful wheels tires/perfect stance/cowl hood look and it's perfect! That's one other thing I'm buying hopefully this summer, is a Boss Inc 3.25 wide cowl. Dumped with good wheels and a cowl hood for the win!!

Thanks for the feedback folks. And my seatbelt sleeves look like hell, great idea to buy new ones! Maybe I'll do that next! And why aren't you running a shift boot resto83?
