The wife lost.
Hey there.
Mark here Toms River NJ
I wanted a Stang, wife tried to tell me how she didn't think it was appropriate and such, and that I was going to pay thru the nose via the gas-tank.
After proving my v6 gets 30mpg on the highway and can sit everyone (the 4 of us) in reasonable fashion, she still said no.
TOO BAD.
I picked up my v6 the next day.
A standard v6 purchased for 13 g's w 13,000 miles...A 5speed of course.
I continued to transform her into the likeness of my Mach 1 that was stolen from me back in 1981 (was a 70 Mach, grey w/ black stripes just like this one)
Billett grille, solid super snake hood stripe, Rousch Hood Scoop, updated to adding the spinners to the stock wheels (they gotta go for Magnums-retro look) added a stock black rear spoiler and getting one of those magneto black out panels for the trunk.
I added a clarion usb bluetooth stereo so I can use the Ipod in the car.
Looking to purchase a front fender spoiler/lip....but one of those that resemble the earlier Mach 1 lip spoilers.
I am also considering the side window covers, Cervini makes them.
(did I spell that right?)
SORRY DEAR, I HAVE TO SELL YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING FOR SOME RIMS.

I would trade her in for a nice set of fuzzy dice right now.
No wait --fuzzy dice and a cup of soda.
I am looking for something most stang owners usually steer away from.
Like most mustangs have the lemans stripes bumper to bumper.
I used the black tail and scoop.
I also fabricated a grille for the Rousch scoop out of thin chrome body molding.
I REALLY want the magnet black out panel and front fender lip to complete the Mach 1.

yeah, i don't prefer stripes either.. notice my boss / mach look on mine.. i bought one of those magnet panels, it works okay, but i wanted my scoop black too, so i just had it painted at the same time to save some $ (about $245 total) and ended up selling my magnet trim to a friend with an 08 GT/CS, he loves it.. but you could just paint it yourself, that dupli-color matte / flat black is awesome.. i've done a couple of accessories with it, and it's held up and looked awesome..
be careful on which chin spoiler you get.. mine's a CDC classic.. lots of dbl-sided tape, and 8 screws/bolts but the CDC aggressive requires removing of the lower intake grill and a bit of cutting and fitting.. and it's only like 1/2" lower than the classic.. but there are other brands that install differently too.
