Default I'm new here. Got my first Mustang ever! 2013 GT Convertable.

Hi Carolina Chapter,

I'm in my 40's and I finally fulfilled my life-long dream of owning a Mustang GT. She's a red 13' GT convertible. I love the way it drives!

I live in Matthews, NC. Since this is my first Mustang, I'm trying to learn all about it as quickly as I can. After reading many forums here, I think the first "mod" I'm looking at is a performance tune. I'd like to get a little more low-end torque.

I might be able to attend some of the local events as well.

Thanks!

Barky

Welcome Barky!!
Nice ride. Loving the color.
The stripes look like a carbon fiber print. Very cool.

Thanks, guys. Yes- the center stripes are each 3M 10" carbon fiber strips. I installed all of the stripes myself. I also blacked out the rims and badges with PlastiDip.

Overall, I'm really happy with how it turned out. It looks much meaner than when I bought it. Now, I just need a performance tune. Maybe, an axle-back exhaust.

The stripes are awesome.
Check out the Horsepower for Hospice thread. It's a great show for a great cause.
It sounds like you already have the mod bug.
An axle-back here, a tune there...then it will be springs and shocks, a CAI and a supercharger along with wheels and tires and an X-pipe with cat delete and the list goes on and on.
