The first thing I did, other than tint the windows (Triteck) was lower the car. AM had a sale and I was able to pick up some SR Performance springs for $99. Installation wasn't bad but about 6 months later the car started popping and I ended up replacing the upper strut mounts and then a couple of months later I had to replace the shocks and struts. Lesson learned: buy all the suspension shit at the same time.


End result:
Koni Orange Shocks and Struts
GT500 Upper Strut Mounts
SR Springs
Panhard Bar
Initial drop was about 1.5" Settled in about another 0.5" since.

I bought a DIY Hydrographics kit and dipped my coil covers

I dabbled with the exhaust too much. I don't think I'll ever be happy.
First one was the Ford Racing Boss 302 H-Pipe with the Side Pipes and Stock Mufflers. Sounded awesome. I'm a dumbass for changing exhausts. I got tired of holding my breath every time I went over a bump. It wasn't that much louder and you couldn't really tell it was there.

So I added some Pype Bombs

Big mistake. Now it was too loud. I have to drive 100 miles a day and it would drone so bad on the highway that I wanted to drive off a bridge.

So I sold everything, put the stock mufflers back on and used the money to buy a Borla Touring Cat Back/X Pipe off another member. Installed BBK Cat Deletes and it sounded really good after that.
I recently put the cats back on and looking into quads...Like I said, I'll probably never be happy.

I have about all the exterior aesthetics taken care of
20" Staggared Silver Niche Targas


Silver Horse Racing Flush Mount Quarter Window Louvers


Why SHR? Because it matches the hood vents, it is reminiscent of the lat 60's fast back, and peel-and-stick don't work for me.

GT500 Wing


Finish it off with Matte Black Super Snake Stripes from Big Worm Graphics
