Got some Money to buy stuff with!
Sobetween my birthday moneyand saved up cash at my house, I dont know from what, I have about 1800 bux to spend.
Unfortunately, my dad takes the parent road, and limits me to peformance stuff that I can do
<-- nothing wrong with that
I am definately going to get a chin spoiler no doubt, to complete the lower black look....
grand on, is it?
Also, once it comes out I'm going to get the ford racing intake/tune..... $500 right? (not gonna get yelled at by the dealer, as oppose to any other intake/tune combo)...i've tossed the bamachips jlt intake/xcal3 card at my dad but he wouldnt budge
I'm contemplating either new rims....gt500s 18x9.5 machined with tires for 884 shippped/mounted/balanced, or possibly an avic-d3, which seems a little unnecessary to spend almost a
I could care less what people think, but willI become a complete gt500 poser if I got 10 inch white rally stripes from BSM? haha (I will of course need some 4.0 badges, and I'm not going to get "gt500" stripes for the side either)
Iwould love a short throw, but it seems that they all end up making the shifting harder than it already is, only shorter....so I think i've ruled these out.
Is a k-member brace a worthwile mod? how much are they?
Any and all suggestions, or opinions are welcome
Thanx,
Mark

Go rims it will change the look and stance of your ride.

I have the k-member with torque limiters, and I recommend them (<$175 I believe). The install is easy enough for most D-I-Y guys/gals. I rarely miss a shift now with the stock shifter, and when I do it's operator error.
The LaMans stripes would look great on your car, and personally I would consider the fade-away white rocker stripe to complement the LeMans.

i would still get a different intake/tune combo. you wont get the performance you expect out of the ford racing one. yeah it may not void the warrenty but if worse come to worse, put ur stock airbox on, and re flash it back to stock. it will take 45 min.
as far as the rims go the gt500's will look great.
what kind of chin spoiler are you getting? 3d carbon airdam? cdc?

RE: Got some Money to buy stuff with!
Rims and tires if dad won't budge on the tune. They are the first thing I changed on both of my stangs. 20's on the GT and 18's on the pony. 18's will offer a better ride than the 20's........But look awesome. Next mod after wheels and tires would be lowering. If you shop around you might be able to do both within your budget.
