looks clean but Im not a big fan of that color. I dont like any color green on a mustang. I guess im old fasioned but black and white are the way to go.

yeah alot of people say that they dont like it that much, especially the tan top. i love the way it looks, and the fact that noone else has one that color around here makes it great too. just something to be diff.

When you got it repatined, was it sanded down, or was it like a touch up type deal, was just wondering how much it would cost

the shop sanded it down, fixed all the little dings and dents, painted it, and baked it all for $1100. I took off all the trim, lights, emblems and stuff like that. it would have prob been about 1200 if i didnt take all that stuff off myself (it was all easy, not worth extra $100)

thanks alot, tell him that i will trade, hah. mine is almost completely stock under the hood. the guy that had it before me done something with the ignition and i have put flowmasters on it, that is about it. i am planning on getting a o/r x- or h-pipe soon. i want it to be heard but not be obnoxiously loud. and im not looking for the best flow ever. any recommendations??

A good flowing catted X pipe should be good. With the flowmasters it shouldn't be too loud. The guy I was talking about has a off road x pipe going into flowmasters and hes LOUD! You can literally hear him at 1/2 throttle from a block away. But, I like the sound of a catted x pipe going into flowmasters.

looks good, my cars the same color and im thinking of getting it repainted. As An exhaust reccomendation Im using an o/r prochamber with flowmasters.. and its good sounding untill you decide to punch it then its obnoxiously loud.
