Last night I sat down and had a big talk with my folks and they said at the end i am only allowed while in high school to do basic performance mods but i can do any visual mods i want. Any suggestions for visual stuff and which "basic" mods should i get? :sad5: :tearyeyed :BangHead:

Blower = basic mod, they come stock on cobras
![]() Stuff they probably couldnt tell were there Shifter, pulleys, plenum, tbody, K&N, T/A or Programmer Cheap stuff but noticeable Mufflers or cat-back, mid pipe Visual Better wheels and subtle stuff.

My parents were the same way, its no big deal. Just make your car look nice, then in 2 years you can dig into the motor.

Just prepare the car completely for the blower then man. This is perfect timing for you man, just be optimistic about it and youll be happy. Take the time to build the rear end, get a new clutch, build the suspension and save some money for the blower kit. Its not such a bad thing, they are just making sure you really want to use your money for it. Its just like my parents man, the same thing. Put some loud exhaust on it to make you happy and make it fun to drive. Then maybe a grill delete and chin spoiler the make it look better. Then just do the small stuff to prepare your car for the blower.

you can make it fast without going into the motor. a good driver and basic mods can go 12's easy. and i dont mean on slicks. regualr drag radials will do it

ya'll aren't listenen only basic bolt ons and visual stuff nothing real expensive. Two reasons they want to make sure it's not a fad and they want me to save the $$$ for college.

What they are saying is... upgrade minor stuff NOW to set up for the blower LATER, AFTER school. I don't think your picking up on the idea of what these people are telling you. Minor as in exhaust and other misc. engine, along with some suspension, braking might be costly for a "minor" mod. My parents are the same way... but what I can pay for and they don't know or can't tell doesn't hurt them.

I think body kits really make you car stand out and spoilers are a nice add on but i would go with rims first mustang tuning does have the 18inch 2000 cobra r's in chrome and silver now. :tongue1:

Suspension isnt expensive if you buy it piece by piece. Same with other stuff on our cars.

I think Colleges are really over priced...like beyondddddd I do whatever I want with my own money. My parents dont give me anything beyond my weekly allowance for food and gas ($60) and the rest I get from work. I keep saving my money but it always ends up getting wasted at clubs and parties ![]()
