buy a raptor shift light, better than any appearance mod.

ORIGINAL: AmericanMuscle4.6GT

so in about 5 months ill probably be getting exhaust. i need a mod to hold me off until then. something ideally under 60 bucks. probably would be an apperance mod. anything really.

where could i get a billet grille like "jdbullit" or something like that has, for cheap? an upper and lower?

what about rear lowering springs?

tell me your ideas!!!

i'm thinking fuzzy dice and a wintergreen/tree air freshener lol!after that awesome exhaust thread you put together everyone(else haha) should get together and buy you some corsa axle backs! loved the thread!! i just purchased a shorty antenna last week so if you don't have one of those... well good luck to ya and keep up the good work on the exhaust thread!


now THAT i could deal with!! or maybe some cheaper pypes mid mufflers


how much does a raptor shift light run for? could i install it myself? don't i need a tach driver module?

Pypes mid mufflers ftw. I cant wait till I get mine. I need to see a picture of them installed before i pull the trigger.

BTW idk how you made it as long as you had your stang with no exhaust. I can live without a CAI/Tune because that only takes effect when i slam it but yours is like your hearing a muffled dog bark. Iam 1/4 saved up toward a big bore stroker kit. Thats going to be my cai/tune.

For appearance mods i love my clear corners, and i think the billet grills look great too and i'll probably be buying one in the near future. I also love that eject button, me and my friend/copilot always joke about ejecting each other's seats. So now i guess i have to add that to my to do list also

i dont know how i made it this long either[:@][:@][:@]


its like the car is so ridiculously quiet. i can't deal with it. when i took off my mufflers, i knew my car was not any faster, if anything a little bit slower, but it just felt so much more substantial, i could hear what the engine was doing, could feel it, i was much more connected with it; i can't really describe it. but the car feels not necessarily seat of the pants feel faster, but just gives you the mental image of more POWER. you feel like a bonified badass with a loud car. the stock exhaust is not audible at all inside the car[:@][:@][:@][:@] what was ford thinking, its so ****ing quiet!!!!

college for what?? I didn't go to college and I make a grip (no offense meant)! But waiting for mods is tuff I just dropped a ton of cash on my car( can't post how much encase the wife see's), and I am already looking for gears, smaller pullery, uca/lca, DR's, and internals. Waiting sucks!
