dude that SUCKS. she better have "made it right". Some older woman pulled out in front of me about a year ago at a bank in town. She stopped at the exit and I was about 70 yards away, then she started inching out, I thought "no... stop...STOP!" then I stomped into the brakes about 30 yards out. I got stopped JUST as I heard the "crunch" of my bumper hitting her's.

She did this to my Mustang:


but I f'd her bumper ALL to hell. Plus she got ticketed and listed as "at fault".

Really hope it all gets taken care of man, you ok?

oh, and I finally bought the stock manifolds from a '95 V6 today at a salvage yard. This is my 3rd "exhaust leak" and I was worried its cracked like Clif's was. I figured I'd take the advice from the thread and just buy some from the SN-95. Anything else I need, or should it just line up/bolt in?

with short ram intake and dual exhaust im assuming I would need a tune? and if so I was thinkin about just goin ahead and gettin a tuner such as sct livewire...I know with the small amount of mods I have on the car right now its not worth it, but if im going to turbo it some day would the livewire be sufficient and worth the money? oh and will it cover gear changes for making the speedo right?

Cobra R hood, was looking at ABC, does Stage 3 have anything other than the Cervinis?

And you mean like your front? I was either thinking like yours or a Cobra

Clemson, Mine is worse than that, grill got pulled out when I backed the car up, hood is bent/offset and wont open, bumper is half on with a big hole in it...but somehow my new HIDS and fogs survived

Don't NEED a tuner yet, but if your an Auto, it will help a lot. I've got the SCT XCAL 3 and I like it so far, not sure about the livewire

DAMN dude, she messed you all up. Is it just cosmetic stuff, or did anything important get broken?

and very nice, gotta love resilient HIDs and fogs

I like my 03/04 front even with the stock side scoops and skirts. Does it look better on a termi? Yes. I really like the way the splitter with the stock body lines looks though. I would get the cobra r hood. Pretty sweet combo. Plus its supposed to be better than stock aero wise no? Not a huge fan of the roush stage 3 bumper or whatever it is. Sorry to hear about your car, good time to upgrade though.

No you don't. You can do some decent mods before "needing a tune". Not like the new(ish) 4.0's. With a turbo you'll need a dyno tune, which cant be done through SCT's at most shops, so it should be good. Should also be able to handle gear changes. Not worth it when you can get the X3 with a custom tune for less, for me.

I'm not sure, I hadn't been out of class very long and was about to go to work, I know it needs a new hood and bumper, paint on a fender (maybe both) and I can't tell whats under the hood being as I can't get it open :s

~edit~ Shaun, I'm not a fan of the Stage 3 either, I like Matts splitter, and I meant 99/01 Cobra bumper

Splitter>99/01 front. Personally at least. I feel they both flow better with the stock lines than the 03/04 cobra front. More edgy than bubbly.
