Picking my mustang up tomorrow!!
At 11am. Getting a tungsten grey v6 convertible with the sport appearance package, 5 speed, 17" bullits. Will post pics as soon as I get them! I have never had a mustang before, and after a couple test drives, am really looking forward to it. I used to have a camaro and hated mustangs cause they were the evil competition, but now that they dont make camaros anymore, I was forced to turn to the dark side to get my fix of a classic American sports car.

RE: Picking my mustang up tomorrow!!
oh, to make this post eligible for the "Tech" section. I plan on immediately getting some lowering springs for it. I dont plan on getting new shocks though, so I only want a 1" drop, what kind do you guys recommend? Some affordable ones off ebay would be nice, I usually do most installation myself, but have never worked on a mustang before. Tints and a stripe will probably also be installed within the next week. I have seen some stripes available on ebay for about $110, is installation on these hard? Should I get it professionaly done to make sure the stripes are straight?

I recommend Baltimore Street Mods for your stripes and Rob is easily reached for any help you may need. He's on Ebay and here is his website:

RE: Picking my mustang up tomorrow!!
Congrats man you'll love it. It will make you for get all about a Camaro lol. I had a 85 Sport Coupe 2.8L Multi-port FI Camaro since I was 16 till now ( im 23). Man when I got in my Mustang it literally felt like a V8 cause I was used to a little 2.8 lol. Welcome to the arms race as screamin would put it. lol
Desperodo can you post a sound clip of those American Thunder's, I would love to hear them with an x pipe.

Welcome to MMF Sevalley...
Are you getting EXCITED Yet?
There are so many great mods out for the V6 already, you would be surprised how much umph you can get out of her!
Since this is your first 06 Vert - should warn you to caution the roof. Many of us have had to learn that the roof will "shrink" if you leave it down for days at a time and then putting it back up you have to muscle it onto the windshield latches. It will do the same thing on cooler days (My top is down anytime it is over 50 degrees outside!)
Also - the top will not completely fold in tight when down. If you want her to look CLEAN going down the road topless, just hop out when you have it down and gently give it a little push down into the hole and it will tuck away nicely.
We can't wait to see some pics of your new baby Sevalley!

Nice picture!!! You should have a great time with your convertible. That's the first time I've seen those rims. I guess they are new for the '06 V6's? Welcome to the forum!

RE: Picking my mustang up tomorrow!!
haha, they are not new rims for 2006, they are HUBCAPS!! Its horrible I know. It is day 2 that I have the car, and I already replaced them with the 17" bullitt rims, just like the ones in the picture above, except not chrome, charcoal color (got them for $572 with Pirelli tires from Diversified Marketing in Cerritos, CA). Will post an "After" pic once I get it. Needelss to say it looks a million times better.
