New project, back in land of Mustang - '02 GT Vert

MisterAC · January 28th, 2011, 01:17 PM

I just picked up a '02 GT Vert from my uncle. Less than 80K miles and since he's pretty old, probably never over 4000rpm. Car is pretty tight. I've had
'99 and '02 GT coupes before, but never had budget or time to mod. I want to mod this car and have a really stealth looking fast M##### F#####.
Here's what it has:
-MAC CAI
-Flowmasters
Here's what's scheduled for February:
-Eibach lowering springs and Tokico Adj shocks
-18x9 fronts w/255's and 18x10.5 backs w/305's.
-4:10's
-75mm TB and plenim from BBK
-subframe connectors (car rolls like a small pickup)

NEED ADVICE, am I going down the right road for starters? Budget isn't huge, but willing to throw about $3000 in next 60days or so and then start some cosmetic exterior when these are completed.

I appreciate the recommendations, have read through 5000 postings, now time for good direction. Thanks!

Thanks. Your ride looks awesome. Is that a Cobra-R hood in that pic? I'm ordering one next week, debating over doing it in carbon fiber (which doesn't look great with black) or getting it painted. Can't decide on which front bumper/spoiler setup I want.

Yep, tuner is going to happen when gears done. The guy doing my mod work used to race mustangs in circuit races in Mexico and is a major Mustang freak. He insists everything be perfect, I just need to keep paying...not sure what tuner he recommended.

I dig the yellow/black combo you've got. Thanks for pics.

If it's a manual, get a good shifter. if an auto a good shift kit

Yea, i've got the 2ooo cobra r hood and the 2003 cobra bumper on my car. But as of 4 hours ago, i dont have anything on my car haha.

I removed both and removed all my interior. going back to stock.
