Introducing myself

MattJ · 12-09-2004, 06:30 PM

My names (hmm I wonder...) and Ive got a 2001 Mustang GT. Got a few things done like H&R Sport Springs, Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S 245/45/17s, Mach 1 Grill Delete, H-Pipe with XCelerator Mufflers, Mach 1 Chin Spoiler, K&N Air Filter, Air Silencer Removal, Alpine CDA-9835, and I believe thats it. I keep it simple and add on as I find what I like and money permits. Of course theres always "whats next?" and for my its going to be the Big Brake Kit and the Bullitt Fuel Door sometime soon. Mabye Ill add the strut tower brace with that order but who knows. Heres a few pictures of it.

Forgot to add in the Valentine 1! Its like a guardian angel - not that I ever speed, though.

Jeremy · 12-09-2004, 07:37 PM

Welcome to the forums Matt. That grill delete really makes a big difference. Nice looking pony you have there.

rebelyell · 12-09-2004, 11:12 PM

Man I just hope my 04 looks as good in 3 more years. Nice looking car MattJ

2000 STEEDA · 12-10-2004, 05:41 AM

Nice car man.

EH819 · 12-10-2004, 08:19 AM

Nice car.

That first picture you posted is cool. I like all the flags and the buildings in the background.

MattJ · 12-10-2004, 04:22 PM

Im actually a detailer while im in school for Fire Science, so it helps.

Great looking car! Welcome to the board, I'm new here too.

MattJ · 12-12-2004, 09:07 PM

Thanks for all the positive replys!

Islander03GT · 12-13-2004, 10:56 AM

Sharp looking car... is that mineral grey or dark shadow?

MattJ · 12-13-2004, 04:13 PM

'Tis Mineral Grey.

Ghostalker · 12-14-2004, 02:17 PM

Sharp, and as always the recomended Mach 1 chin spoiler, without it... it looks like its missing the chin spoiler! (u know?) also, the first pic looks very 'professional' if maybe there had been a tad more lght on the front? (this forum reminds me i should do aformal introduction... but i will wait till tommoro to get some nice pics of the beast)

MattJ · 12-14-2004, 04:19 PM

Ive got a couple more but the bottom of the wheels got cut off from the curb.

nice ride! i was wondering, are you running everything else suspension wise stock except for the h&r sports? how does it handle in comparison to stock? i'm looking for a cheap way of lowering my '03 gt without making it handle worse. when i say handle worse i mean hold corners/launch worse, i'm not really concerned with ride quality (unless its hard as a rock).

Ive got the H&R sport springs and Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires. It handles much better than it did stock with the ****ty worthless Eagles from the factory and the factory springs. It doesnt bounce hard at all. ive still got a great ride and great handling.

Jeremy · 12-17-2004, 05:37 AM

Hey Matt,

Have you noticed any scratches on your Chin spoiler since the springs? I was thinking about getting a chin spoiler and the H&R's. I don't want to get the chin spoiler if it will scrape on pavement and all.

WhiteDevil · 12-17-2004, 08:10 AM

Honestly you just have to be careful when parking, ionno how many times I have just raced up to a parking block and you hear that scrape. Gotta love plastic though, scraped, pulled, bent, and smacked the heck outta that chin spoiler and the thing just refuses to die! It's sweet, not a scratch on it after about 8k miles with it.

MattJ · 12-17-2004, 09:18 AM

I actually bent mine on the drivers side from hitting a diagnal parking block. If you look close in the pictures you can see it. Ive scraped it once parking as well at the post office. Other than that I dont have any clearance issues.

Jeremy · 12-17-2004, 03:15 PM

Thanks guys. I might consider it after I get my springs and see what kind of clearance I have. It does make the front end stand out a lot, which is why I love it.
