hotrod · July 12th, 2006, 06:05 AM

I am wanting to start doing body work to it as in rims and maybe a bodykit. Is there anywhere to go to get some ideas

Congrats!

Congrates on the purchase.

For Wheels, look at "AFS Wheels" on ebay.
For the body kit, I will disown you if you get anything other than Roush or Saleen.

LOL.

For body kits check out mrbodykit.com or grounddynamics.com or cervinis.com. There are some really ricey ricey I mean really ricey body kits for the Mustang.

I say you should get the eleanor body kit from www.cervinis.com It replicates the shelby gt 500 from the newer gone in 60 seconds. Yes, the side exhaust is for the v8's, but I talked to the guy there, and you can get it to fit your exhaust.

my next question would be, can I just get the front and rear bumper and keep the side skirts I have which are stock, or would the front and back appear to low?

00SoSlow · July 13th, 2006, 02:52 AM

depends what u would get for front and rear... sometimes u need the side skirts to make it work

hotrod · July 13th, 2006, 04:11 AM

I cant afford a top of the line body kit so I am leaving my options open to maybe even just lowering the car

ChrisJ · July 13th, 2006, 05:24 AM

I found out the hard way that on a 05/06 if you use sportlines to lower it then you can not get it back to perfect no matter what you use...They still have not released the cast and camber plates for them...Even with the camber bolts we were alittle bit out...SO just word of warning if you think about using sportlines...

hotrod · July 13th, 2006, 05:51 AM

anyone know any websites that have mustangs with body mods so I can get some ideas

ChrisJ · July 13th, 2006, 06:23 AM

I would suggest just looking on some of the sites that were listed above or go to corral or something and look through the pictures...

hotrod · July 13th, 2006, 07:05 AM

is sportlines the best available right now, and how much are they if you know

ChrisJ · July 13th, 2006, 07:43 AM

Sportlines are like 250...They are the lowest available...I say just go with a Pro-Kit from Eibach...

AtlanticBlue99 · July 13th, 2006, 08:42 AM

If you lower more than 1" (this includes the Eibach pro kit) you will need Caster/Camber plates and a bumpsteer kit. Also, your shocks/struts will wear considerably faster, so now would be a good time to replace them. IMO< I would keep the stock body and lower it the right way

Cricket · July 13th, 2006, 10:42 PM

If you plan on doing a body kit. Buy the pieces separatly, test fit them, but put it back to stock until you are ready for prep and paint. Body work can be a long process, but there is no need to rush into anything. Doing a subtle body kit, with some wheels, and a small lower of the car can really make it one aggressive looking car, and can make it handle better. But remeber just lowering it isn't gonna give you a racing type setup for suspension and handling. Plan out what you want, find out what your budget is, and how you can contribute to it while still paying expenses, and then execute it on a timeframe that fits. Remeber to keep asking yourself. "Where do I want this car in 5 years?" Sticking to a plan is the hardest part of modding a car out.

hotrod · July 14th, 2006, 01:54 AM

I checked today and found out that if I do put springs instead of a bodykit it will void my warranty that I have. So now i am probably going to get a body kit for it

99mustang232 · July 14th, 2006, 01:04 PM

who said it will void your warranty if you replace the oem springs with aftermarkets?
