Picked up this daily beater for the Stang to keep the BS miles off. Also opens the door for some more serious modding if I decide to go that route. 35.5 avg combined mileage, car practically pays for itself.

After seeing what aero can do to a car, I went ahead a jumped on a front splitter for my car. I went with the Stillen one, as with some simple mods it can be quite stout. This guy on SVTP had his for sale and I saw what he did, replacing the turnbuckles that came with the splitter for Longarce ones bolting them into the frame of the car for high speed stability.

Link to a built reference.
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...er-w-rods.html

Basically copying him, so hopefully everything turns put well. All of this will cost me $360 versus over $1K for the Boss 302 LS one.





[Update]
Stillen Splitter: $294
Longacre Turnbuckles: $56
Longacre Backplates: $18
Total: $368
Boss 302 LS Kit: $1435 on American Muscle

Picked up a stock GT strut tower bar from Maxpayne on here. Near flawless condition for $50.00. Very satisfied

Had Beau smooth and paint the trunk lid on the fox. Before that I had True Street do some suspension mods and an evap system on the motor. Next is a new damn window motor because mine is broke.
