You read my mind!
I'm going to get a shorty antenna and lowering springs in the near future. I personally don't like the after market look of smoked headlights, I'm going to get projector headlights instead.

Other things I've done to the car include new speakers (Polk), dual exhaust (Jegs kit), and a cold air intake (ebay).

Check out the customer product images on American Muscle. :P
http://www.americanmuscle.com/17x9-d...tt-chrome.html
http://www.americanmuscle.com/sumito...275-40-17.html
http://www.americanmuscle.com/bucecap.html



Here's a picture of the dual exhaust I got from Jegs. I'm thinking of replacing the mufflers that came with the kit with some flowmaster 40 series, but don't know if it would be worth it.
You can see me hunched over sitting on my ass taking the picture in the bumper. lol

Just put another $150 into the car.

-New Third Brake Light. (Mine was all faded and scratched up on the top)
http://www.americanmuscle.com/3rd-br...904-black.html

-14 inch Shorty Antenna.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/14in-antenna.html

-Ford Racing Bullitt Pedals.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/forabupea.html


Now all I have left is the expensive things like new mufflers and lowering springs. Paying for the install labor on both is really gonna suck.

You can do the springs yourself, not hard to do at all.

I was told that it is very dangerous to install springs because they are installed under pressure or some junk like that, so it's best to let a professional handle it. Now I don't know if that's true. Anyone done it before?

sure lots of us have done it. the trick to doing springs is putting a floor jack under the control arms that way you can slowly release the spring tension.

nice car BTW BAB FTMFW!!!!
