3000 dollars to spend...


alright guys my mods are under the sig....besides the kooks headers that i wanted to get and 4.10's what else would be a good way to mod the stang with 3000 i was thinking: Kooks LT headers, 4.10 gears, and New Rims and Tires...

Spydershaft and delete plates.

You could also get cams with that amount of money.

suspension for the added power:

BMR lowering kit, BMR control arm package stage 1 is fine, Tokico D Spec Shocks and Struts. Do it once and do it right

Wheels and tires are nice also. After I get around to installing my suspension, i'll get the rims and tires on. New brakes and rotors? A lot of people add more power but forget that it will take longer to slow down. Plus cross drilled rotors with a red caliper look sexy

I'm still getting used to how much longer it takes to stop this thing.

I don't have the mods done yet as I just bought the car, but for whatever it's worth, my to-do list in installation order based on car use and preferences:

1) short shifter
2) 4.10s
3) spydershaft
4) decent 4-wheel brake kit
5) cai/tuner

Prolly around $3500 mark on mods depending on labor $

6) kooks lt, mid & whatever axleback sounds best with the Kooks LT & mid
7) suspension handling upgrades along with lowering 1" to 1.25"
8) dark charcoal 18" wheels / tires
9) exterior mods (painted mirrors, side badge delete, foglamp delete, maybe a low profile ducktail, cervini hood and front fascia)
10) s/c & down to 3.73s (late '09)
11) glassback

i was trying to figure out what i was going to do with the 2g's from taxes, but i'm pretty sure i'll just invest it since i'll be gone for over a year anyway.

Hehehe, nice photochop. But yeah, those rims look sweet on the torch red. Well, on your silver too, Juco. But those are 18"s right? So to get a stance like that, you'd need to lower it too. Or run 20"s.

the rims i put on your car are 20's. They are the ones i just bought for my car. I got them a little discounted, but they cost me $1,350 for rims and tires including tax. Tire prices for 18's and 20's are the same bro. I got 255/35/20 nitto nt555's for $105 each.
