First Appearance mods?

Reset · July 21st, 2007, 10:21 PM

Hey guys, i'm looking into getting a Ford GT (2000-2004) and i was wondering what kind of exterior/interior mods you have done (pictures would be great).

I saw the post that's stickied but that is mostly performance mods. Would you guys suggest lowering the car (if so, how much looks good?), tints, any body kits or anything?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a pic of my 2004 GT front end with the chin spoiler and grille delete kit installed.

i have ford racing c-springs...they lower about 1" in the rear and 1.25" in the fronts...maybe a little bit more but i like the stance IMO it looks really good, other than that id say chin spoiler and bumper inserts, post some pics when you get it

cool, thanks for the fast replies, I like that grill. What exactly does the delete kit do? Anyone have any pictures of a stock grill vs the one posted above? Also, what about rims? Anyone have any favorites or a favorite size?

RC02GT · July 21st, 2007, 11:38 PM

delete kit takes the bee hive looking grill away and the coral the horse is in, steeda says it allows for more airflow to lol. and stay 17", youll find most people like the deep dish in the rear, (wider wheel and tire) i like to get most out of my tires so i keep it the same so i can rotate them.

You get alot of stares and "Look at that Car" and "I like That" as people walk by

Did you install those yourself or did you get a shop to do it? How much was the total cost?

MustangMatt96GT · July 22nd, 2007, 01:39 AM

Ya matt covered it mostly.
One weekend to find out they didn't fit and one to install after some torching/welding... After ofers and refunds ended up costing 320

Kids Love it! Chiks Dig IT! And Guys............They say it looks "Clean" Or "Sharp" unless there gf is with them......then they just walk faster while she stares and asks him why his doors don't do that!

That's the ones I want! Exept Black with the silver DD

DCstangGT · July 22nd, 2007, 04:22 AM

i wouldnt suggest going any lower than h&r sport springs which is what i have. it is the perfect hight and if it was any lower id hate it cuz i already have to be very careful with speedbumbs but i can go over them just really slowly on the rougher parking lot ones.

mustangmanic · July 22nd, 2007, 09:52 AM

heres mine:
mach 1 grill delete
mach 1 chin spoiler
eibach pro lowering springs (about 2'' and adjustable)
american racing rebel 18x9 18x10
35% tint

TheUNZippee! · July 22nd, 2007, 10:26 AM

Gorgeous.

mustangmanic · July 22nd, 2007, 10:33 AM

thanks. I really think the rims set it apart from a lot of others...I used to have deep dish billets but then i wanted something different
