Hey everyone. I bought my ‘06 GT almost 8 years ago and am only just starting to mod! I’ve never had any time to work on it and living in the city with street parking definitely creates a challenge to get things done but I am just so tired of her being stock. I’ve been browsing through the forums for a while now looking for ideas on what I can do and I want to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts, opinions and creations for the world to see – helping guys like me get started.

I hope to bring a perspective of someone who tries to take care of their Stang in a city where crime is frequent (I’ve had my window smashed 4 times here and door pried open once as well as someone keying across my entire hood!) and where door dings and bumper dents from parking are common place. Washing the car traditionally and doing any kind of work is difficult but I’m finding ways to complete tasks.

I have an ’06 Vista Blue GT and am going for the black and blue, stealth look (black and smoked pieces all over with tiny bits of chrome to break it all up). I also love 1st gen Stangs so I will be incorporating a lot of throwback touches to make mine stand out. I’ve only done some cosmetic stuff recently but have a lot of ideas for power and performance – after I hit the dyno for a base.

Thanks again and I look forward to reading and writing more posts.

 

Welcome to the forum. 8 years? Wow, it took me less than 8 days to get my first mod done.

Enjoy your "new" project!

 

Lol I threw on the sequentials back in '06 and that was it. Between moving around in the military overseas and working and going to school full-time since I got out - especially since I NEVER drive, it hasn't gotten much attention.

I will say that my design taste has changed somewhat though since when I bought the car. I'm glad I had some "time" to sit on my cosmetic decisions. I'm doing things now that are different from what I wanted to do years ago.

BTW digging the chin spoiler, rocker stripes and black spoiler!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to MF

 

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you. And good luck in the modding.

Have you ever thought about moving lol, sounds like a rough city.

 

Welcome

 

I will move eventually but don't plan on giving up city life until I've started a family. Truthfully, San Francisco's not crime-ridden or anything- there's bad apples in any town. There are way too many cars here though and that makes it easier for the other folks' cars to bang you up... That's why I've got insurance

 

Welcome....Sucks to hear about the vandalism

 

Funny, I'm so jaded about it. But now that I've started modding and trying to take better care of her, new damage will really **** me off lol
