ok guys. i get the point. a little help now

fiveOHkilla · 03-28-2006, 10:05 AM

ok i admit, my car color is ugly. ive tried to overlook that but i need a good paint job. and the hood is having connection issues so I'll likely just switch back to my stock hood. i still like my body kit but as for rims, does anyone have suggestions? my bday is comin up in a week and i need to know what to ask my dad for. pretty much every year my parents get me gifts with a combined amount of about 3 grand. like last year they got me the entire nos setup(i just had to buy the bottle) and the body kit and clear light, along with painted the body kit. so to transform my car, what should I get for 3 grand?

check out the wheels at MT.com
mt has the best prices...
maybe put the stocker tails on...
and if ya can afford paint then...

ONE THING YA REALLY NEED IS SPRINGS...

a nice set of wheels and eibach or whatever suspension would make that bodykit look so bad...

*EDIT* i would lose the exhaust too

Well, for starters.......

In my honest opinion you can still salvage your car:

1.) replace with stock hood
2.) paint entire car with a good color, such as white, black, red, sonic blue, so on
3.) buy some new rims, maybe you like chrome. PLEASE get the rims here on MT, they are the cheapest AND are meant to be on a Mustang.
4.) replace taillights with stock ones
5.) you really need smoked headlights

In your defense... if you did this and chose a decent color, the body kit will look better. Still not most of our tastes, but much better.

a clue........you have a mustang, v6 or not......revert that abomination of a soy waggon back to some mustang glory....change everything youve done except the nitrous......get a cobra r hood....some fr500's or ddbullets....a slp cat back.....c-pillars would be cool.......cobra body kit....then paint that bitch and be proud to drive around a real mustang

....dont mean to be so harsh.....but seriously, wrong car for those parts....if that dont sound good just take you 3g and buy a civic and continue what your doing

Try selling all that sh!t, im sure you can get like $10 for that hood somewhere, and sell those hidious rims. If you plan on keeping the BW kit you have on now your gonna need some 19's to flow with the car.

Here are some "Decent" versions of the BW kit

Im still not feeling it, but i say if your doing the BW kit get everything BW, hood, spoiler, etc etc.

But if i were you id take off the whole kit, and convert it to like a saleen or something, with $3,000 you can do it. $1,000 or so for body kit, $1,200 for rims and tires, $800 for install and paint.

Ask for a new car. Sell that ugly ass thing you have...

Agree, start from scratch.

Rabbit · 03-28-2006, 11:00 AM

actually you're just a few weeks late on this. You probably would have loved this cobra that was on eBay...

04DarkShadowGT · 03-28-2006, 11:18 AM

I would start by using the stock hood and lights. Then check on ebay for some wheels and tires. You can get used sets for a good price rather than dropping half your budget on wheels and tires new. I just sold a set of machined 03 Cobra wheels and tires for around $400.

The body kit is certainly not my preference but if you like it then keep it. I would spend a good chunk of the $$ painting it back to the OEM color or whatever else you want.

I havent seen pics of the exhaust but by greddy I am assuming its a fart cannon. I would go with a cheaper V6 dual exhaust kit from either MT or ebay.

That should all be within your budget and make it look pretty nice.

Hey, I saw that cobra at the Steeda Stampede, LoL it has a cobra shifter and snaked seats, LOL that guy went REALLY over board with all the cobra stuff...

Aight to be honest from one 6er to another....

1. Replace your stock hood...

2. Get some 4.10 gears and tuner kit from Mting

3. Get some 18x9 front, 18x10 rear rims, either builts, FR500's or any others... and some good tires... if you really do have NOS idk how your able to hook with those 7.5's...

4. Repaint to ONE solid color, or some kind of really nice CUSTOM job... by the way thats over 4 grand but yeah, you can Redeem yourself...
