    Default Update on my Mustang










    Added the louvers and the smoked light tint. I'm thinking about the carbon fiber dash kit and maybe some new wheels and tires.

    I think that's going to be it as far as the exterior goes, but 1 do never know, do 1?

    Wow Rick that's beautiful, I really like how those window louvers are contoured in the center section they really add to the aggressive lines of the car,and it looks like the center section also lines up with the racing stipes.

    I kinda like the factory wheels. My only personal addition would maybe be a grill. Maybe something more aggressive like The MMD V series? They're still pretty pricey for a piece of plastic, though.

    I wouldn't add the carbon fiber dash kit if it means changing out or covering the white sections of the dash - as most of the interior is black I think the white finish lifts it a little. But I know so little about cars I'm probably better off keeping my mouth shut.

    As for the wheels and tires - they're the round thingies on the outside with the rubbery outer ring - right?

    Thanks Myk, and, yes, the center section does line up with the stripes.

    Gilles, If you remember when I 1st moved to NC, I said I was going to get a new Mustang, either a GT or a Cobra. When my GF got here, that went on the back burner.

    When I decided to buy a new 1, a friend up in Jersey that works for Ford, said that I should at least take 1 (Eco Boost) out for a ride, but to wait till the 2016's came out. Having driven a GT, Cobra, and a Shelby, I was leaning towards the Cobra.

    Anyway, I took it for a ride and as we were on the entrance ramp to I-77, the saleslady said "Go ahead, kick it down". I did, and it shocked the hell out of me. Approx. 30-35 to approx. 80 in about 3 seconds. Real fast for 140ci to pull a 3,500lb+ car.

    The balance of the car is better. The GT weighs about 200lbs more, and most of that weight is in the front.

    The best part is that I OWN it. No payments. The GT would have been 15K more, the Cobra, 20-25K more

    Thank's Ricardo. The compliments are nice to hear considering I live in Mustang Town.

    I've been looking at the grilles, haven't seen 1 that I really like.

    CC, it's just a thought, and, yeah, you've got the tire thingies down pat.

    Yeah, I'm going out to give it a bath. It's parked under a tree that is shedding. I just washed it a week ago.
