Hey, guys.

I have two scenarios I'm contemplating for modding my Mustang's appearance. Both have their pros and cons, but I thought I'd pitch both ideas to you guys to see what y'all's thoughts are.

SCENARIO 1 - "GT/CS / GT-500 / V6 look"
GT/CS Rear Fascia
Black rocker panels (Already have stock)
Roush side window louvers
Black Shelby racing stripes- from hood to rear decklid
Sequential tail lights
Black 17" painted Bullit wheels
Regular V6 lower grill (vs. Pony Pack lower grill)

SCENARIO 2 - "GT look"
GT Rear Bumper
Tungsten Grey rocker panels (can get cheap from a friend's GT who got Roush panels)
Roush side window louvers
Delete black Pony Package rocker stripes
Satin Silver Shelby racing stripes- from bumper-to-bumper
Sequential tail lights
Regular V6 lower grill (vs. Pony Pack lower grill)

Scenario 1 would be a unique take on a V6 Mustang in my opinion. The rear GT/CS bumper would be more expensive than the standard GT rear bumper, but with the added expense of the tungsten rocker panels on Scenario 2 it pretty much evens out. I'd be able to get the panels from a friend who has a Tungsten GT. He had them removed the day he got it and had Roush panels installed instead. He told me he'd sell them to me fairly cheaply. The drawback of the GT/CS rear bumper is that it won't go as well with the black rocker panels as would the GT-500 rear bumper, which I can also get but would be $100 more than the GT/CS rear fascia. Scenario 1 would keep my car's V6-ish look but make it look much more aggressive and unique.

Scenario 2 would strip the car from it's V6 looks and make it more GT-ish, with its colored rocker panels and GT rear bumper. The black rocker stripes wouldn't look as good as they do with the black rocker panels, so I'd likely remove them. I'd then put silver Shelby stripes on the car from the front to rear bumpers. Added Roush side window louvers, and maybe Ford side scoops would complete the look.


Questions, comments, suggestions, concerns? Let me know what you guys think!

you could always play around on www.ponybuilder.com and see if you could find a nice look for your car if you cant decide

Performance is separate from appearance. I'm trying to find a way to balance both. Headers, true dual exhuast, and a few other things are also in my plans. But I'm still deciding on what approaches to take and when. Money is definitely a factor.

After school I might just sell the car back to my father and get a GT if I'm able to afford it. So there's a lot I'm trying to weigh in doing these mods.

i know.. i was thinking how awesome it would be if they had a site like that for every year model mustang

Nevermind, scrap the whole idea. I'm not going to do much to my car... like I said, I'll probably just get a GT when I'm done with school and working. I can't afford all these things I'd like to do, unfortunately, so I'll just do some minor things like CAI, a new muffler, and a couple of appearance additions.
