I painted my interior for about $30 bucks, thats about it..

*venom* · 01-09-2006, 03:41 PM

Keep the car waxed to reduce friction. You can also cut the airbox and add a k&N.

TEXASPAUL · 01-09-2006, 04:00 PM

Borla Exhaust and a BBK Cold Air Intake, both free (slightly used). My uncle is cool as ****! A friend of my brothers has some 3.73s laying around that I'm thinking of adding next.

No harm in removing it.Allow's it to breath a little better.Supposed to anyway.

relax kid, nobody is going to go around giving out free parts when there's plenty of people that would pay for them. besides his car is a gt, yours is a six pack. the parts wouldnt work for you.

Im just yanking your chain but Im sure it does do something but not enough to be noticable. I however would suggest shaving your left arm of body hair if you like to hang your arm on the door while driving. This will reduce the friction of the air passing over you arm.

hahahaha, nice venom.

waxing your car is proven to reduce gas mileage if you drive long distance at high speeds on the highway.

Yeah the cheapest mods have already been listed,

1: Air Box silencer removed
2: depending on the year you can remove the rear wing/move it back farther
3: Taillight tints are like 20 bucks on Ebay...
4: Stripes are cheap too like 40 bucks
5: if you get a strong enough bolt cutter you can shorten the Antenna
6: keeping it clean always helps appearance 1143541235%

*venom* · 01-11-2006, 02:36 PM

Stripes are cheap and make a huge difference. The biggest issue is if you are going to have someone do it then it will go up alot in price. If you have patience go for it.

crookstang · 01-11-2006, 03:32 PM

Grimmz: I was reading a article where they cut the antenna down with a hacksaw..just another method. And I agree 100% with keeping it clean. I always hate seeing a dirty mustang. Mine sees cleaning and polishing almost daily.
