Help with Body kit
I know just about everyone here absolutely hates the Black Widow body kit.
I, however, like it. Well, I like the front bumper and side skirts. The rear bumper looks a little terrible but bearable. What I wanted to know was does anyone think that it would look okay to put on the front bumper and side skirts, but not the rear bumper? I don't want answers like "the only way it won't look stupid is if you don't buy the body kit!!!" When I do get it, I plan on installing it and making the kit look like it was actually made with the car(no separation/body lines). Other external mods I plan on doing: Hood Scoop new headlights(dual halo) tinted windows Black Bullitt gas cap with the running horse quarter panel window louvers Interior/Performance: Black Leather seats with dark red detail New Gauges http://www.americanmuscle.com/99-04-...low-gauge.html 3.73's or MAYBE 4.10's Something other than stock exhaust Cams and heads and whenever I get the money up...may be a little while, but supercharger I feel like CAI is over rated, but I might do it for a little boost before the supercharger. Oh yeah, and I'll obviously be getting a Tuner. Any thoughts/opinions? I don't want a-hole answers. Just a little background: Yes, I am 16 as many of you are probably guessing due to the exterior/non performance mods I am doing. I do work 38 hours a week at $9.50 so I do have a bit more income than most teenagers. Input is appreciated. Last edited by jf16; August 15th, 2011 at 10:27 PM. |

Pics of body kit? And you linked to guages, not halo lights. If you're dead set on the body kit, then go for it, it's your car. But I'd go with regular tinted lights and not halos, the halos don't have great visibility
And what do you mean "made with the car"? Are you going to fill in the gap between the bumpers and fenders? How are you planning on doing it, with bondo? Just make sure to get the prep and paint done right, nothing looks worse than body kit with unmatched chipping paint.

how bout this
do performance before doing exterior upgrade. custom seats proly gonna cost u out the a$$ but idk clth is cheaper than leather to fix plus i just wouldnt spend money on new seats new gauges?? whats wrong with the stock ones? 3.73 stick, 4.10 auto. get t-lok at the same time exhaust? i would suggest flowwmaster 40s with h-pipe or prochamber. i dsont think many on here have the prochamber bc its expensive. talk to somebody that knows something about cams and heads dont supercharge it, go turbo now for exterior. sorry but no hood scoop? depends. with body kit it would make it look even more stupid looking. with out... yeah no to the halos. go smoked tinted-yes gas cap? what color is ur car?lol not a big fan of the quarter window louvers but some cars can pull them off put a chin spoiler on it and lower it but int he end its ur car and do what u want, but this is proly what most ppl are gonna tell u, correct me if im wrong guys o and deffinatly yes to the tuner especially if u do gears but when u go turbo or supercharged i suggest dyno. |

@polemonkey: I'm gonna get the seats I have now redone with black leather. My step dad knows a guy that does stuff like that and it'll be about $400. And I just think those gauges are would add a lot to the car. Why Turbo?
Its dark red and I want some black detailing on it. I have NO idea what though haha. Also, what is t-lok? I was going to go with flowmasters or MAC catback. @CheyenneMustang: Yeah that body kit, but definitely not the spoiler. That thing is uglier than sin's ass. Also not a big fan of yellow on mustangs. @Six Banger: Yeah, I just meant fill the gaps. And I think I'm just gonna get the whole car painted whenever I do it. Also, what do y'all think about this ? I think it sounds really good. |

Oh yeah, the question I really wanted answered was "does anyone think that it would look okay to put on the front bumper and side skirts, but not the rear bumper?"
I just really don't like the rear bumper. |

You'd probably want to get a different rear bumper or it would look pretty unfinished.

I still want the "Mustang" imprinted on the back of it. I just bought stainless steel inserts for it and they look pretty damn good.

i'd go with a cobra bumper / roush bumper.i'm going to give you my honest input on all of your choices.. i didn't read any of the other posts besides the first one, so you may have changed your mind. Hoodscoop - Go for it Dual Halos- No, get a pair of black housing headlights off of ebay. halos are a no-no tinted windows- yes billet cap with running horse, seems ricey IMO, i don't think it'll look good window louvers - No, not unless they're the mach louvers, and those are a pain in the ass to find. The other ones look mis-placed and don't look good. as for your interior, i'd just go with black leather, and add red accent marks for the door inserts. it'll look much better then red/black seats. reverse guages- those look good. i hear people like their 4.10's, but, i'd go 3.73's IMO. exhaust -go for it. cam/heads/ S/C - if you have the money, do it! Cai's clean the engine up a little bit, better then the stock box for sure. tuners are a must if you have an auto, they'll help if you go through your plans on modding also. good job having a good job at 16 i just got a job the other week and i'm starting out at 7.45

aftermarket front bumper + sideskirts with a stock rear bumper will look weird. You can go for a different style if you dont like the black widow one (I like the shaved 03-04 cobra ones on v6's)

To hell with the ricey shit, IMO just keep it stock on the outside. Then do the chin spoiler, tail lights / insert blackouts, mach 1 grille delete, then put all the money that you'd waste on the outside B/S and spend it on the engine.

roush/cobra bumpers are okay, hideous bumpers that belong on hondas are not!
