Smile The tale of Annie The Mustang...

Been wanting a Mustang GT for ages and decided to finally buy one a couple weeks ago. Found it at a BMW Dealer of all places and they were motivated to sell... Also I've always loved red heads so Annie is a fitting name.

I was introduced to Americanmuscle.com, after spending hours browsing the entire site I decided to place an order. After all I couldn't stand the stock wheels and 4x4 stance. While waiting for the parts to arrive I decided to upgrade the brakes. These might look like "Made in China" Ebay specials but all these components are 'Made in Canada" The pad compound is similar to Hawk HP+ but without the noise and dust.

Order 1 fit nicely into the F-150. Service from AMR was excellent and everything was very well packaged!

The OEM front valance had a couple of knicks and dings.. Time to upgrade to this nice unit was CDC with brake coolers.

At the end of a few hours of not so hard work! The GT500 spoiler was a nice upgrade from the OEM unit while the "hood pins" were to indulge the inner ricer in me The MMD gas door continues the black theme.

Hood Pins are no way ricer the old Stangs were doing it way before Japan caught on to their awesomeness!

Looking good though, going to be doing any other suspension mods? If you are I would highly suggest doing rear upper and lower control arms. It will stop that wheel hop when launching. Also stops the hop you get when making a turn and you hit a bump or road reflector.

Well, that escalated quickly! Congratulations on picking up your Mustang and modding it pretty heavily already. I love the Red and Black scheme, keep up the great work!

Feel free to hit me up if you ever have any questions or need some assistance. Thanks for your business and loyalty, we really appreciate it!

Thanks for the great service

I placed an order for the following

Airraid Race CAI and intune tuner
BBK rear lower control arms
SR Pulley kit
Bump steer kit
Front strut tower brace
Pypes cat back
Push button starter kit

That will be it for now as funds have been depleted

I'd like to get headers, off road mid pipe.
