SO i need help with mods, opinions needed.
Hi guys, new to forums...
I got a few questions for yall, i have had my mustang since late 2005, it is a 2006 mustang GT, i got sort of into modding it but i lost my job and sold all the mods, luckly i finished school and i just sold my show truck so ive got some "Mod" money. I dont want to get out of control with it yet, because i can only afford spending 7,000... Probably 3 of which will be vanity. but heres what i have in shopping carts via brenspeed and americanmuscle. VANITY: ( alot of people here think performance > vanity, but understand ive been looking at stock for a long time, and i want another car, but cant give up the stang) Mustang Billet Grille Combo Kit (05-09 GT) - SAVE $25 [remove] Black Mustang GT Floor Mats - Silver & Red Logo (2005+) Smoked Mustang LED Third Brake Light (05-07) Black Mustang Kaos Wheel - 2005+ (20x8.5) NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 Tire (255/35-20) Spray-on Smoked Color Lens Paint Mustang Exterior Blackout Kit (05-09) - SAVE $20 Mustang Rear Blackout Panel (05-09) Mustang Smoked Taillight Covers (05-09) Mustang Halo Fog Lights (05-09 GT) Black Mustang Halo Projector Headlights - LED (05-09) Black Acorn Lug Nuts (Set of 20) Brushed Aluminum Mustang Interior Quarter Window Covers (05-09) VANITY MAYBE's: NEW HOOD Quarter window louvers *****PERFORMANCE******: H&R Super Sport Springs (2005+ GT/V6) Steeda 2005+ 4.6L GT Intake Throttle Body Spacer MUSTANG GT BASSANI RACE AXLEBACK (05-08) Mustang GT Bassani Catted / Off Road Modular X-pipe (05-08) Stainless Exhaust Hangers (pair) Mustang GT (Mine are shot) MUSTANG GT SHORTY HEADERS 1 3/4" CERAMIC MAC (05-08) Mustang GT 3V Kooks Header Gaskets (05-08) Steeda & SCT X3 Intake Tuner Package (91 OCTANE TUNE via BRENSPEED) Mustang GT Charge Motion Delete Plates Steeda (05-08) Mustang GT Steeda Underdrive Pulleys (05-08) 4.10 FORD 8.8" PERFORMANCE SERIES FORD RACING (WHAT SIZE????i am getting mixxed reviews on 4.10's and 3.73's) Mustang GT Steeda Underdrive Pulleys (05-08) Mustang GT Tokico D-Spec Adjustable Shocks & Struts (05-08) That is my cart contents right now, leaves me with like 800, I have no clue how to install most of the power mods.... No clue where to get them installed, or suspensions so if you know the fresno area let me know... Anything in there thats not a good idea? Or maybe just overkill.. anything i should buy ??? MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS... : where do i get these installed? |

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!
OK......trash the steeda throttle body spacer, they dont do anything. Get the frpp 4.10s from rich at RADMUSTANGS RAD Mustangs Performance Parts Shop. He matches prices and can beat some. With the 800. you should get some cams!!!!! And once again get them from rich at RAD and get the tune from brenspeed. |

Great thus far...
IMO only 2 I'd avoid. 1. Shorty headers: stock flow about the same, save for a good set of longtubes. 2. delete plates.: with the C&L intake already deleting them completly... and Im sure by this time next year there will be 5 companies w/ intakes that do not use the deletes... put this $ to your longtube account ![]() Try to install as much as you can... itll save you a fortune in the end. |

And you will love the bassani race axle backs they are the shit!!!
And make sure the steeda delete plates are the "race" and not the econo plates and dont let anyone tell you different, trust me! Here is the link for the cams Cams here is the link for the NON-MOTIVE 4.10's (the motive ones are garbage!)FRPP Ring and Pinion set 4.10 And get a spyder drive shaft while you are at it. Rich can get you one also. They are the best and the cheapest. They have one on a 900rwhp GT 500 with slicks, NO PROBLEMS! |

just have JDM engeneering port your stock intake, its $400.00 and will be good for 10hp, coupled with the race plates you will be at the same level and not the same cost.

Forget the show and get more go fast goodies. S/C through 07stanggt or brenspeed. If your staying N/A get the CAI/Tuner combo from Bamachips. Your retunes will be free. Brenspeed will only give you free retunes if you buy the parts from them

the c&l has produced 27hp(maybe) under boost. You are not boosted I would go with the plates and if you want that extra hp get you intake manifold ported here JDM Engineering (they are not the ricer jdm/ they do mustangs) call them up and ask for james JR.

Motive makes all FRPP gears now....all of them even the new style single pass machined tooth style that recently came out.. Motive gears are just fine as long as you know how to set them up.
I say NO Shorties, NO TB spacer. Do a set of J&M lower control arms with their adjustable upper and a panhard bar.

Welcome to the forums. Buy from one of the sponsored vendors and save money. Me and Rad Mustangs (07stanggt), match or beat all prices.

Welcome
![]() And the vanity thing, idk about all those halo fogs and headlights. that money could be better spent on a chin spoiler or something (more go). But to each his own. And the extra 800+ bucks will probably go toward all those installs, so if you know how to use a socket wrench id recommend trying them yourself, its fun and rewarding. There are alot of writeups on this forum among others, if you need a specific one just search or ask

If you are doing lights get the oem or saleen HID kit so they are brighter and better.
I would also not get the 1/4 window covers. I would also get a GT 500 chin spoiler. Like bigpappy here it looks sexual......... .....(don't you judge me...)

I'm trying to find someone with a picture of these on their car ..
Smoked Mustang Headlight w/ CCFL Halo (05-09) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! I bought these and they are NOT smoked, they are more chrome than the stock headlights. I had American Muscle send me two sets before I realized they are supposed to be like that, so much for them being SMOKED !! So, now I'm trying to figure out what to do with these lights. I think I'm just going to send them back to get the first lights. They look a lot darker in the pictures. Smoked Mustang Headlights (05-09) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! |
