My 1997 Mustang GT looks clean and simple. Good wheels and tires, 6 month old Rio Red paint job and a some smoked 1-piece headlights. It looks good dont get me wrong but it doesn't look mean enough. It doesn't look aggressive or that angry look alot of Mustang owners want. Anyone have any ideas I am willing to spend up to 500$ on exterior mods. I am already purchasing a lowering kit so that doesn't need to be brought up. But any other ideas I am open too. MM do your work.
How to make a Mustang look mean.

You need a theme. Black and red. Black wheels, tinted EVERYTHING. Get some black emblems and badges. Lower the car and put some MEAT on those wheels. Keep the car looking clean. I've never seen a mean looking car that didn't have a clean looking theme. Hoodpins also add an aggressive look to the car. Also, no aggressive car is ever complete without an aggressive exhaust. If your car sounds like a mouse coughing, it will ruin the entire look. Your car needs to be obnoxious and mean sounding. It needs to be an attention whore. If your car doesn't turn heads, it ain't aggressive. It has to demand attention wherever it goes. No stickers, or anything like that. Keep it clean and classy. Bitches love classy.

Yeah true but it will look like every other SN95 on here. No offense guys.
Just look around the web or these forums in the media section and get some ideas and combine the ones you like. Try to be unique and keep it clean at the same time. Thats what will set it apart from all the other SN95s with the afore mentioned mods.

I wouldn't recommend cutting the springs! There are set to handle and carry the weight of the vehicle accordingly. if you cut them you throw alot of things out of whack! you can pick up a pair of lowering springs online for fairly cheap and its easy to install them yourself.

Damn that sucks. Oh would you happen to know if the turbo off a f350 diesel will be usable? I might be able to get one for free.
First things first... MOST of the ideas here will get you a "mean" look... one of the ideas here will end up costing you in the end. Cutting your springs is foolish at best. You already have some ordered so no worries, but just an FYI... Cutting your springs will ruin your ride. It throws off suspension geometry and causes massive bump-steer. Your ride will be rough and your tires will not last. Don't get impatient for a "mean" look without the money to do it right. Spend the money once on the right parts and you will save yourself a lot of headaches and save the enjoyment of riding your Mustang.

I have my springs cut, my ride feels better now than it did with steeda sport springs. You just can't go crazy when cutting your springs. I have a coil cut all the way around with no Isos. But that is about to change, I am about to add them to the rear to get more of a raked look.
