ok joves your saying long tubes cant be fit onto a 98 da**it
True, the EGR tube goes in at a different location, you can cut it off and delete the EGR or reroute the EGR tube to fit with the lt's. Cobra232 is the only one i know of that has a 98 with them on.

I think those chrome pieces that go in your car dont look all that great. I mean whats so nice about a bunch of silver pieves in a car? I would rather pay less andhave someinterior pieces paintedthe same color as the outside of my car!

You don't put chrome, you put satin, see, here's why they're so great, they look awesome when done properly.

makeing your car nice doesnt make you a ricer, believeing all the hype about body kits, and how certian things make your car look better, which it only appeals to the fast and furious crow, does. you can put after market parts, body parts, wings whatever, and as you drive down the road with all 190 hp people will be saying that is kinda rice, to bad its only a v6. i have a v6 no matter what you do for the most part you will get that answer. but still being a mustang owner, you have to keep to the tradition of makeing the car look its best, without ruining its integrity, the ricer sh*t does just that. duel exhaust, sn-95 cobra hood, ( if they fit) nice subtle wing nothing higher than stock and no more than one, wheels, some chrome in the engine, and a nice detail wouldl look awesome. lowering would to, only slightly lowering thouh, not to much. and yes chin spoiler all the way...........

Believe it or not, but for shows, performance doesn't get you squat from the judges other than a few brownie points. At scrapin the coast my car beat out several Saleens (some replicas and a couple of real ones), Moded Cobras, and several other moded stangs in the Wild class, but because I had more show, I had the higher award as other than a few dress ups, they were just moded performance wise. Every judge sheet has a small area for performance, so it can make the difference between a win and a loss, but most points come from the overall appeal and look of the car. Remember, not all people car about performance. Some people, especially those over 30, could give a rats *** about performance, they just want to look good. There was this 40 year old woman that had an awesome looking 03 Mustang, but had ziltch performance wise. Now she beat me at another car show, but at this one, I beat her (I also had more done this time around), but she just had a stock GT with a lot of very nice body work done and that's all she cared about.

At this point, i would suggest a chiltons or haynes (which ever you prefer) guide and figure out exactly is going on under the hood so when you start pulling **** apart you know what is what and where it goes. this will benifit you in the long run, thats how i learned about cars, bought a guide for my first car before i started modding it, and damn did it make a difference, when i saw posts about ppl talking about different parts i knew exactly what they were saying.

i just got my v6 mustang as well and i have quite a bit planned for it, rims, lowered, headlights with clear reflectors (i hate orange) tinted tails, tinted windows and thats probably it for exterior, then the rest is going into my motor, i havent formed a list of what im doing cuz im still researching and planning on which route i wanna go, exhaust is a definate haha. dont rush it, take ur time

yeah, get a haynes and read the whole damn thing. thats what I did, well, am doing. i've almost read the entire thing. Really interesting and teaches you a lot about how the car actually works.
