What should i do

DarkSidejoker · January 9th, 2008, 09:54 PM

OK, i have a red 2002 v6 mustang i have been thinking that i should do some work with it but i dont know where to start. I dont know if i should do body work first... or just performance for now. any suggestions?

Stang187 · January 9th, 2008, 09:56 PM

performance i say looks might be cool but u gonna look cool goin slow =)

wannabeimportkiller · January 9th, 2008, 09:56 PM

your opinion, what do you want to do? you can spend lots on performance and maybe only get like 50hp, or you could spend alot on looks and have a nice looking car. its up to you man

intake
exhaust
underdrive pulleys
headers
gears

Well im graduating in june and im getting probably somewhere around 2500, so knowing that, which should i do. and if i do performance what should i get other than a new intake and exhaust?

Stang187 · January 9th, 2008, 10:03 PM

a tuner would be nice

wannabeimportkiller · January 9th, 2008, 10:04 PM

ooo if you dont have a job, you need to make sure you have some money saved incase something happens, say your transmission goes out and it costs a grand to fix it, so unless your parents are gonna pay for something when it breaks, make sure you have money saved

graystang01 · January 9th, 2008, 10:04 PM

im more 4 show than go. id like 2 have a little pep to my car but u can only go so fast legally without goin 2 a drag strip.

DarkSidejoker · January 9th, 2008, 10:05 PM

well i dont have a job right now, but im going out this weeken job hunting, that way i have money save incase somthing happens. and to help me out with parts and stuff

wannabeimportkiller · January 9th, 2008, 10:12 PM

i would say go for looks man, maybe exhaust too, but mostly looks. Just my 2 cents. performance ends up costing you more than you think, and youre really not getting that much out of it.

DarkSidejoker · January 9th, 2008, 10:12 PM

also. i was looking at exhaust and stuff, and seem to not to be able to find a single exhaust, so will i have to change the rear bumper first before i get a dual exhaust?

wannabeimportkiller · January 9th, 2008, 10:14 PM

no you dont have to change it. if your exhaust guy knows what he is doing he can just make it come out from underneath your bumper thats on it now, thats how man is

graystang01 · January 9th, 2008, 10:14 PM

no u can run dual exhaust with the stock bumper. u can either run the tips under the bumper, cut a half circle in the bumper where the exhaust exits, or get a gt bumper

DarkSidejoker · January 9th, 2008, 10:17 PM

thanks guys. do any of u know any sites or places that might sell body kits that are already painted? and if not. how much to u think it will run to paint it?

graystang01 · January 9th, 2008, 10:18 PM

mrbodykit.com has a lot of body kits but they arent painted. idk how much it costs 2 get em painted

wannabeimportkiller · January 9th, 2008, 10:30 PM

uhmm go to abcexclusive or cervinis. I dont really think you can find painted body kits, and paint will run you about 2 probably, just a guess.

DarkSidejoker · January 9th, 2008, 10:39 PM

2 thousand or 2 hundred?

DarkSidejoker · January 9th, 2008, 10:57 PM

how difficult are they to put on?

wannabeimportkiller · January 9th, 2008, 11:04 PM

uhmmm yeh paint would probably be closer too 2000, notice my avatar, my hood is white bc im a poor lazy bastard, and i just bought rims sooo...... and i dunno ive never installed a body kit before, my friend has a honda though, and if he can do it im sure anyone can lol
