Default New to the Forum - New Mustang (to me)

Hi guys, a quick introduction... I had a charger but I have always had mustangs, so I decided to go back to what I like so I bought a 2008 v6 2 months ago and started modding it right away .

Pics of it before and after mods below.

It looks good, OP.
If you got some dark turn signals it would looks even better, IMO.

Love the seats as well, are those '10+?

Young_Gun, go troll somewhere else.

some nice mods. I see you have new take off seat covers. Did you do the install yourself and how does the rear seatcover fit? from what i have heard the rear doesnt fit right without some adjustments.

Congrats and welcome to the Forum! The mods are looking good!
A front chin spoiler would add a nice aggressive touch to the front end. =-)

Have you added any performance mods? CAI/Custom tune package?

Look into CAI/tune, pulleys, and an 8.8 rearend. Great mods for our cars.

+1 on adding a chin spoiler or like Tanner said new nose job might as well put an agressive aftermarket front bumper on there if you can afford it exp Cervinis, Street Scene, Roush, Saleen ect.

Hi guys, Thank you for the welcome, I'm going to start looking on those mods recommendations of yours, the mods I did were just to get away of that OEM look .

Yes the seats are take offs from a 11 GT, they fit great but the rears have some extra skin for a head rest that my v6 does not have, I just filled that space in with some seat foam and now the rear looks like a gt seat. I found a really good deal online, they were $170 shipped and they look brand new. They wanted to charge me $350 for install at a shop, I just got some hog ring pliers and hog rings and did it myself for like $15 bucks.

See you guys around.
