well, I ordered a couple more parts for my car, and all the parts should be put on by the end of the month
(I cant afford to put them on all at once)

I just ordered 3 gauges, and the 3 pillar podfrom GlowShiftDirect.com

also on order, I have the Foose Boss Tribute Strips, GT Rocker Panels, and AVS Tail Light Covers.

Heres a couple pics of those mods.

Im taking the pony packagerocker stripes off

and heres the gauges

Im not going to post all three gauges, the oil temp, and water temp gauges are the same design as the vacuum gauge.

I think next Im getting clear turn signals.

Let me know what you think.

SICK!

Im going to have the gauges installed first, then next week I'll have the stripes installed, then on one of the weekends I install the rocker panels and tail light covers my self.

thank you

thats a lot of mods to do in a quick amount of time ;)

good taste indeed

it actually wasnt that much money

the tail light covers were $60, the rocker panels were $80, the stripes were $75, and the gauge set was $160.

Where you get the tail light covers?

it will look good. post pics once you get it all installed.

I got the tail light covers from v6mustangstuff.com

go to 05+mustang then go down to exterior, and then its on the 2nd or 3rd page.

I'll post my progression pics. The first thing I'm doing is the gauges.

I like the look of the gauges on the site and I'm sure they will look good. That being said, the wiring diagrams from their website look like a pain in the ass, especially with three gauges. I'm sure you probably have more electronic know-how than I do, but let us know if it's worth the effort when you're done. Should look pretty nice, I like your setup.

I have zero next to no experience with electronics. Im having a performance shop install it.

I'll have it done on monday, then Im probably going to have the stripes installed on the monday after that, then Im going to install the tail light covers on the saturday after that, and then the rocker panels the next day.

That is too long. What are we suppose to do until then? I know! Everyone can pitch in and find me a pre-painted Windveil Blue GT bumper. I heard they exist, but it seems to be a myth right now :)

"I heard they exist, but it seems to be a myth right now"


that was on mythbusters......there is NO SUCH THING as a windveil blue GT.

I am beginning to believe it.

buy a take off from v6mustangstuff.com

They don't have any in WV Blue, neither does newtakeoff.com orninosport.com. I will have to get a different color and have it painted and that puts it out of my budget for right now.

go to the wanted section, Im sure someone is going to buy a new front bumper, and not need there old one.

after doing a quick search, I've seen WB GT Bumpers going for $400 because they are so rare.

Good job picking that color.....not. lol.

Go figure I would pick a color that costs twice as much. But damn it looks good. Oh well I am going to have to suck it up and get a black or white one and get it painted.

I think my next mod (couple weeks) Im going to get this.

http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/i/Images/_G6J7833-01.jpg


But instead of having the gauge there Im going to have it cut out for the cup holder like this.

http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/i/Images/_G6J7901-01.jpg

I just need to find out if you can hook these switches up to turn on the gauges (the light in the gauges)

actually that seems to serve no purpose, so I might scrap that idea.

no don't give up, you can have them arm rocket launchers, machine gun, mines, and ejection seat!

anyone know where I can get a rocket launcher?

I'll even settle for a grenade launcher.lol

Just mount this on the roof

hahahaha.

well here's your eject button

they have some other cool designs too. They fit into the DC power plug on the dash
from http://www.mgwltd.com

That is awesome. I am seriously considering getting that. Hahaha. I should hook up a water squirter so when unsuspecting passengers get in and press it thinking its fake, it squirts them.

I order for my boyfriend from newtakeoff.com. It only cost $75.99 to get one that need paint work done. It better then buying a good one to paint. Call and talk to them. They were very helpful.

or call your dealership and see it they have one.

:O that would be awesome, I will have to give them a call.

I called them and they offered me the same deal, $75 bucks for a black or white bumper with paint scratches, still $110 to ship though, that stinks!

Im actually going to buy an Xcal2 tuner with bam achips tuneson friday.

Didn't you get enough already? :P

no I did not.

I didnt buy a mod (excluding the ones I just bought in the past week) since may!

Im catching up on lost time......while Im at it, I might also buy the GT rear bumper....or a CDC chin spoiler.......or......fukk it....I'm buying a SUPERCHARGER!!!!

(supercharger was a joke.lol)

Man I can't wait till the beginning of the year, I spent all my money this year so the wife said I have to wait till Feb. then I can start buying mods.

(I will get my dual exhaust before the end of the year, just watch :D )

go buy your wife a coach bag, take her out to dinner......cough cough please her, and then by the morning you will be on americanmuscle.com buying your dual exhaust.

I would never let her spend $500 bucks on a purse. I just bought her a 2007 Ford Edge fully loaded with touch screen DVD navigation and a Vista roof. Now she owes me :)

got paid today and have 1grand left over.

so Im getting the Xcal2 tuner on saturday, and after I install the gauges (should be monday) Im going to install rockers,andtaillight covers (probably on next friday, cause my week is jammed) then Im having the stripes put on and if I have any money left over from the installations Im buying a GT front bumper, and grille.

I figure the SCT Xcal2 tuner will cost $379 + $100 for tunes +shipping = $490-$500 then to install the gauges it will probably be around $100-$150 (depending on how long it takes to install) then the to put the stripes on, and take the rocker stripes off it will probably be another $150 (Im not sure how long it will take). so all together it will cost like $750-$800 then the GT bumper + Grillewill cost about $400

so I may have to hold off for another week or so on the GT bumper.

I get a new front bumper soon, so I am taking suggestions on what kind I should get. Whatcha think, GT, or something else?

GT brother. You can do so much to it, not only is it lower, but you get a bit more respect from people (some wont look up unless its a GT....not that Im trying to pass it off as one, but just to get people to have the initial look) and the chin spoilers are cool, the grilles are cool. Just much better all around.

If I didnt have the pony package grille lights, Id get the GT bumper with a black billitt grille w/ pony emblem on it.
Its too much trouble to rip out the wiring, then change the light switches...plus its hard to go from grille lights to none.

I am thinking that will be the easiest. Plus it will give me the look I want. It's better than how my front bumper looks now, did you see the pictures?

no.

http://www.mustangforums.com/m_3864626/tm.htm

Look there.

OUCH get that bumper as soon as possible.

Its embarrasing to know another mustang fanatic is out there with a bumper like that! lol.

Trust me I am working on it, but since you are a cop maybe you can answer me a question about the accident if you don't mind.

shoot

2 north bound lane, 2 south bound lanes, 1 turning lane. I was pulling out of the dealership trying to turn left. both cards going north bound stopped to let me out. (traffic was bumper to bumper going north, so was no big deal for them).

As I inch my way out, nose of the car barely out past the second lane, some chick was speeding (and accelerating) in the turn lane WAYYYY before she was to turn left, no turn signal, just speeding up in the turn lane to make it to the intersection to turn left and get past the traffic.

As she come speeding down the turn lane, she hit the front of my car. I was stopped with foot on brake look the opposite direction, she didn't swerve, or try stopping.

Who's fault?

wait were you trying to cut across double solid yellow lines?
She was in turning lane, and you had your nose in turning lane?
Then she hit you?

Kinda. I had the right to turn left, in Texas it is ok to turn into the turn lane. As I started to come out she came flying up the turn lane (which is illegal to accelerate in the turn lane) and hit me. She made no effort to swerve, stop, nothing. I had my bumper into the turn lane, no more, my tires were still in the other lane.

it looked like this?

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u302/Dennis0740/accident.jpg

Sounds like it was her fault. Did you get an accident report?

Exactly. Except the intersection was about twice as far away. so she had no reason to be in the turning lane that early. I called the police and when he arrived he said, "did you exchange information? Yes. So that's all you need to do, unless you want me to write someone a ticket"

I was a little confused by his whole attitude, but he said as long as we exchange information and the damage was under $1000 and no one was hurt, he didn't need to do anything.

Oh well, I filed a claim on the girls insurance, I will just have to deal with them.

well I know I'm getting the tuner next week, and in december Im getting the vortech supercharger, but after that I'm unsure of what I should get!!

I'm not sure if I should finish up with all the performance mods, and then moveon to appearance mods, or ifI should keep jumping from perf. mod to appearance mod then back to perf. mods.

I also want to find out if you can put a shaker system on a supercharged engine, because that would be great. I figure it will give me both performance and good looks.

Along witht the S/C I'm getting JBA 9mm cables, T-lok, and those supercharged badges so all that should be enough for performance till atleast the spring time. I figure once jan. hits, I can begin the exterior mods like GT front, and rear bumpers, and rocker panels, and the CDC Classic chin spoiler, than begin with little things like underhood dress up kits, interior dress up kits etc.

As you can tell I love talking about this, so any suggestions would be great. (I like to know what I'm going to buy next, so I can make sure that I absolutley want it, and need that mod next).

btw, my perfomance goals are 315 rwhp..

It ought to be interesting because I am doing it in the opposite order. I am getting the external appearance first then work on the performance.

I should be getting my GT front/rear/rockers sometime in the next 2 weeks (ordering them this week). I need to know where to get a good blackout panel for the back. (suggestions?)

Let me know how your perf. stuff works out and I will let you know how my ext. mods work out also.

Dennis, for performance get 3.73 gears w/the t-lok, shorty headers(LT's r illegal in NY), and a custom dyno tune. Besides that, u may need drag radialsfor the track and maybe summer or wider/bigger rims. I don't no about howmuchwider though. What r u running now for rim sizes? I putup a post about wheels/rimsfor dragging and should get a response soon. I'm thinkin 16X10's for me,if they'll fit. U may not need Drag Radials with tires this wide. I'm gonna find out soon hopefully, thenI could help u there. But ur definitly gonna have to run at least 235 wide street tires on that and u'll still have traction problems. And get rear lower control arms to help with traction a lot. U could get both rear and upper control arms at blowbyracing.com pretty cheap and install shouldn't run more than a couple hundread if u can't do it. Good Luck on that car, it's gonna be a beast when ur done!

wow, we're actually going in the same direction.


I might do performance mod, then appearance mod, then performance mod then appearance mod.etc.

I want the sound and performance to back the looks of the car.

Where did you find your color? It seems to hard to find.

wow, thats pathetic, Im a cop and didnt even know LT's were illegal!!
I dont drag race (the island closed it down in 04' but they may re-open it)
I plan on going with the upper and lower control arms, T-lok and 3.73 gears, but I wont be able to buy both at the same time so I'm getting the T-lok first.
If you find a set of tires online (street tires only, along with wheels), post them up on here and I will buy them, I'm kind of retarded when it comes to wheels and tires lol.

Thanks.

U could look for wheel/tire combos in the parts 4 sale section of the mainpage. I'm not going w/any tires or rims till I get suggestions first. Sounds like ur gonna have a nice ride. wheelsforless.com has some cheap rims(16X8's and 16X10's I was lookin at $260 for a pair(u only need wide rear tires)), streettires will probably run u $150-$300 and u can have any mechanic change em. Good Luck Again!

thanks.

What do you plan on doing to your ride?

I think BEAST is pretty much the only word I need to use to describe it for me.

Beast is right for ur car. For me, I'm slowly going full n/a bolt ons. I'm making a custom dual exhaust now, I have gt take-off h-pipe and overaxels right now, and I just ordered JBA mufflers and JBA shorty headers from v6mustangstuff.com for $610 shipping included. When that comes in I'll get it installed and I probably will finally have the beastsounding:( exhaust I want and a noticable more hp in the high end. Then, I want to do the Western Motorsports ram air/cold airsystem w/a heat shield and steeda tune my car after that, $450. Then I'll order a B A M A 93 tune(not sure if I will go torque, performance or race yet?(debate-gears helps w/low end/take-off power and duals and headers raises low end torque a few hundreadrpm's) for $75. Then I'm either going to get DR's or wider tires for the track and summer. I might hit the track(Island Dragway in NJ, 1.5hrs from nassaucounty)before all this, but it's unlikely b/c most people suggest at least Drag Radials or very wide tires for hooking at the strip and that will run me $250-$300 if I don't need wider rims. If I do another $260, but I'll test launches andwot'son the streets every now and then and see where I'm at. Then UDP somewhere after($150)this and maybe some cheapweight reduction in between(rear seat delete kit, BMR front sway/radiator support replacement kit). Oh yeah, I almost forgot I need to do the throttle body bypass to my car b/c it's an 05. 05's with a fullywarmed up enginew/o the TBB lose 5-10rwhp. After all that, the next N/A step would be heads and cam, but that job installed and dyno'd would run me $3.5k and I'm not sureI'll do itat that price till someone shows me good gains(50rwhp+) for it to be worthit. That's about it unless I can find more weight reduction w/o ruining the car. After all thatI should be around 230-250rwhp(depends on who u talk to=290crank but more like 260-270hp b/c driveshaft and UDP)and the car should be around 200-300lbs lighter than stock. It's nice,but not close to any intercooled superchargers.

I meant the headers and mufflers were $710 shipped, my bad.
