Modding begins for the 08 mustang

[Ferendon 10+ year member]

remember this is my girls car. not mine. so not too over the top. anyways. here is the wheels i am ordering tomorrow, along with the black out tailight covers. street scene rear fascia, upper and lower billet grill. tint goes on on the 20th. heres a pic of the wheels. they are foose nitrous 20's. 20x10 in the rear and 20x8.5 in the front. her car is black and is a v6 but suprisingly fast. anyways ill keep the thread updated./quote]

Stop it.

And the single exhaust look is bammer. And duels with a V6 rear fascia is heinous as well. If you get a rear fascia, get one with dual cut outs. Then go be a ricer **** and put duals on a V6 Mustang. Whoever at Ford decided to put a V6 in the Mustang needs to be punched in the face and then castrated. Same goes for the **** at GM that decided on a V6 F-bod.

V-6 pony cars are only good for one thing in my mind, being sheetmetal donors 15-20 years down the road for the cracked up or rotted out v-8 cars. Or for cheap v-8 swaps for guys short on cash.

No matter what you do to the v-6 its still a 6 and still gonna sound like a 6 and feel like a 6. I bet your gonna get the car to look pretty sweet though just gonna be a //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif when seeing a purty car and then hearing a v-6 exhaust note instead of a v-8.

I'm sure your girl is gonna like it though, I just woulda skipped on the rims and whatever else to get the v-8 GT bone stock GT > tricked V-6 IMO

The new v6 mustangs can do suprisingly well:

i was very suprised myself on how much accelleration the v6 has and how well it grips the road. as for the exhaust. i can find anything that sound good. it either sounds like a ricer car or like a **** firecracker going off. she just wants a low humm with nothing too loud. thinking about getting the true dual gt exhaust just to add a little more sound.

nice, a big chunk of change, but those with a slight drop will change the cars appearance dramatically. Pics don't do them justice. I must have gotten atleast one comment a day with mine setup similiar. Sometimes I miss the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

yea im going to see what it looks like when i get the wheels on and how much gap it covers with the fender well. then i might drop it 2"

 

[lastcall 10+ year member]

this is what it might look like if i get the black grill. i cant decide on the black or the stainless steel billet grill, any ideas?

 

[duece212 5,000+ posts]

[lastcall 10+ year member]
