Finally part of the brotherhood!
Got my 2005 V6 redfire/tan-cloth mustang finally with 26k on the clock. Right now it has some interior appearance mods and 17" bullitt wheels. I have since done a couple things and purchased some items to help mpg a bit and performance a little. The little things I did so far to help mpg was just remove the spare and jack to save 50lbs if I'm lucky. That should be a good start.
Here's the list of parts I ordered over the weekend for the car:
-SCT Tuner
-K&N performance air filter
-Loudmouth motoblue single exhaust axelback
-Shaftmasters Aluminum Driveshaft
-Rear Seat Delete Kit
-BMR Tubular front sway delete/radiator support
-FRPP T-lok (for safety in bad weather and regular weather, should help traction a bit)
The mod bug has hit.. lol. I don't know what future modding plans are, but right now I went for mpg aiding mods that could pay for most if not all of themselves over time (some in years, others quicker). I am so happy I finally got the car and am getting the oil changed tomorrow to mpg increasing synthetic mobil 1. Happy finally able to call myself a mustang owner

The mod bug wont leave me alone!!!!
Congratulations on the new Stang. You will love every minute with her!
Your plans sound great. But JW what is the benefit of the aluminum drive shaft? Ive seen a few people with it and dont know what its purpose is.
As for the spare tire..Hope you have AAA or something becAuse a Flat sucks!!!
Post some pics when you get a chance!!

Ive been looking at t-loks on the frpp website but i cant figure out which one is right for the sixxer. Can anyone give me a link of the right one? Also what are the basic benefits of getting the t-lok?

Thanks guys, I will try and get pics up by this week when I have time off from college and work.
Here's a couple links:
http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05v6fordgear.htm#2
http://www.stangmods.com/V6-Mustang-...1-m4204c75.htm
7.5" 28-tooth spline posi-traction differential is the the one that fits our cars. The t-lok gives your car power to both wheels all the time instead of 1. Some of the benefits of this are:
-Better acceleration/traction
-Better handling from both wheels being powered
-Safer on the road from being able to get traction is easier in bad situations
-And if you like doing burnouts, you will be able to smoke both tires now instead of one
