help me make my 96 GT flashy
 

alright... im a sophmore in highschool... and where i come from what u drive means somethin... i come from a small town in kansas and i have one of the fastest cars at my highschool... a few of my friends have fast/nice cars for instance there are 2 gto's at my school a 76 camero and a 98 cobra, and finally a 66 mustang

i have raced only one, the 66 mustang... and i beat it quite easily BUT my car is almost completly stock other than my recently added american thunder flowmaster kit

i love the sound of my car and it looks alright but something is missing... it doesnt really "stand out" from all those other cars runnin around, and i dont know how to make it stand out

i work some during the summer but school is starting now so money wise i cant go crazy

so i was thinking maby a paint job... like a gunmetal grey with 2 black racing stipes... that idea didnt last long after i found out it would be around 3 grand (half what i paid for my car) i cant afford that shit!!

so help me out, toss some ideas at me, and tell me what u think

just keep in mind i want a muscle feel... i dont like that wind up toy bullshit:nunu:

lol keep it flashy keep it nice... :breakdancesmilie:

buy a cowl induction hood...3 inch...thats what im getting on mine when i get back from iraq...

what would it cost total between the hood and painting it?

300 hood...100 shipping...then prolly 100 to paint...but it would set you off for sure!!

lol thx thx... u think it would look good on my modle tho? i think it would look b*tchin on urs but i have no body kit at all so only reason im asking is cuz i think it may look out of place without the bodykit

i dont have a body kit on mine...but i did drill new holes for the wing about 3 inches backwards from the stock holes so the wing is flush with the trunk lid, looks alot better i think...ill post up some pictures..try moving your wing around if you want a differant look...

you can kinda see how i moved my wing back in this pic...it looks alot better in my opinion with it flush with the trunk lid on the corners. Only took like 20 minutes and the trunk slamming on my finger(you have to take off the shocks from the trunk lid) at least on my year model you have to remove the shocks

SN95s dont respond well to body kits. Keep it simple. First lower the car, then get a nice wheels. You can get those two parts used for 50-75 percent what it cost new.

Here is a pic of my old GT before the crash. 4" cobra R hood from champion fiber glass products. DD chrome bullits with 315's out back,255's front on 9".

heres a few pics of my car, let me know how you like the appearance and i can help you out:

Thats sexy 97stanger!

why thank you :breakdancesmilie:

If you were to go body kit, go with the Stalker kit. But if not, i'd lower it, throw a set of cobra or Saleen wheels on it, and change out the hood. The hood i'd go with a cowl hood, or a ram air hood from Cervini's. Looks really nice on your style.

97stanger looks great... can u gimme parts and a total price range that it would all cost?

thanks a lot man, heres everything i can remember:

eibach pro kit:$200
18x9 chrome saleens wrapped in Kumho ecsta mx tires: $1500
mach 1 chin spoiler: $110
carbonware 3" cowl/paint: $700
35% tint all around: $150
black mustang inserts: $20
14" shorty antenna: $20
black angel eye headlights: $240


that might be it appearance wise...if i think of anything else ill let you know

where did u buy the hood and chin at?

new rims, paint your calipers red, lower it...simple yet to the point.

then get some gears....don't fear the gear....

hood: carbonware.com but their site is currently under construction

chin: www.americanmuscle.com

As long as you dont get a body kit and get domestic wheels that look good on our model stang you will be ok. If you dont know what to get then ask us for advise as I have seen too many Mustangs ruined by poor wheel choice.

Heres what Im talking about, this guys is selling his wheels for a good price

thx a ton guys i didnt expect to get so many replies =D

Venom, u think that the Anthracite Bullitt Wheel would look good on my car?? my car is a dark green btw

I would just do wheels and lower it and then add more power!

I would stick with silver,polished or chrome. I like silver with a polished lip.

did you make a decision yet on what your going to buy?

yes i think im goin for wheels and a 3'' cowl hood and a mach 1 chin, thx alot guys for all your sujestions

You need to lower your car also as the car will look ridiculous.

how much of a drop? 1"? 2"?

daaaaaaaaaamn, i love my car. but you are making me want your model!

haha thanks bro.

its really up to you as to the drop, im running 1.5 and honestly think its perfect. some guys like to run 2.

No more that 1.5 max.
