Default My Mustang

well i never really post a lot on here, but i do sit and read the thread quite a bit and i figured its time i ask for some advice...

pics soon to come. (before and after)

for my birthday and christmas i decided to make the exterior nicer (im only 18... so affording any parts is pretty hard) i did:
Gt rear bumper
mach 1 chin spoiler
mach 1 grill delete


im still looking into some new rims and i need help.. i dont wanna (and i cant afford) to drop $1000 on rims... what would look nice and be under $500?
also id like to replace the hood, possibly with a gt scooped hood? i have a mat black gt scoop sitting in my room, but i dont have the right hood to put it on..

any ideas?

ill upload pics when it stops snowing in Alabama (the whole city shut down for 1 inch of snow... lmao)

I don't see anything wrong with your bullitt rims. Don't get a GT hood, just a gt scoop and paint. For the gt rear bumper I would check americanmuscle I think they make one with shaved letters which I think looks sick. Definitely do the chin spoiler, grill delete is your call. I would throw some tint on those tail lights as well.

I don't know enough about them to tell you one way or another. I would say yes however because it does have an lsd to begin with and it is supposed to ride/handle better.
