welcome man, sweet stang!!!

thanks bro, it is my pride and joy. Every bit of money i make, i look for mods to buy- its a sickness i swear haha

Good looking GT, you need some wheels next!

Very cool. I like the chin spoiler. I also like the wheels! So thats a late 06, as the 18" SVT wheels were only available in the latter part of the year. You probably know this already, but Ford set up the suspension to accommodate the 18's. Looks nice! Since I got mine 4 months ago, yours is the first one I have seen with the SVT wheels too, btw. :t:

Yeah im thinking about it.. My next mod is new strut mounts, swaybars and then a saleen blower..

Thanks bro, i dont know/think those are SVT wheels.. They were just the top of the line upgraded GT wheels i thought. Thats what it said on my window sticker. I was aware that they were on the later year ones, they don't have them on 05's i don't think. How you like your ride so far?

Impressive ride. I've got the same Kenwood in mine, nice choice.

this little bitch found me on cardomain...

lol jk man, OSW soon man.. when the leak is fixed we shall goto the drags

Thanks bro, i absolutely love this thing- the ipod hookup is my favorite damn thing! Screw cd's haha.I pulled out my factory shaker 500 6cd changer in dash and put this in.. and what a better headunit.. It actually got a lil louder, and i was able to tweak the settings a lot more..

haha, fuck your shit lol.. jp but yeah bro fix your exhaust leak.. I need to fix my strut mounts/ by new ones.. Hopefully ford will warranty it on tuesday... Im going in for an alignment, oil change since itll be there already and see if they will give me new strut mounts.. Something tells me they might not warranty it since i lowered it.. The thing is, there is a TSB on the problem so they better fix it.

How do I like it? I absolutely love it. Total blast, and the best handling one I have owned. As for the wheels, I was trying to include a link to tire rack, but if you go there and type in year, make, model, select "see all wheels". Its down towards the bottom. There are painted and polished. We both have the polished.

I like them. They put me in mind of the old 65-66 Shelby GT350 wheels.

Also, what springs did you go with? Looks nice and low!

Ohh i gotcha blueoval, yeah man these cars do pretty good stock.. I just lowered mine on Ford Racing Springs and damn it goes around a turn alot better...Now i just need to buy new strut mounts, the factory ones broke :(.. So i dont know about roush, but i have heard there are problems with factory strut mounts from 05-07.. So yeah, if your cars a 08-09 ur fine.. they fixed the problem.

WO WO WO WO!!! you ask anyone i suck at working on cars, spike (admin here) helps me with everything but damnit i can change my own oil lol! why do you take it in for that.. unless you have a plan were its free i guess.

Good luck with yours Blue oval.. Let me know how it goes.
haha, i can do it- but they will be fixing my struts, doing my new alignment since i lowered it a few weeks ago, and i figure have them do my oil, its another 5 bucks..

damn, looks really good.

on a side note, i *HATE* the s197's stock gauges.

haha thanks, what dont you like about them? They look sick at night, just daytime they look nothing special.. They only have white face gauges, or i could change out the whole cluster- but i'd say its not very cost effective- plus i paid for IUP.

Nice dude! You managed to pull that color of quite well, don't see many of those. Clean ass ride.

Yeah bro, i tried my best :D.. My next exterior mod will prob be 18x9 DD Bullitts. Im going for my Saleen supercharger first.. I have $4000 saved, i need $2000 more.

I also want HIDS for head/fogs.. and FRPP Sways F/R. Oh and strut mounts. Then im totally done.

i just dont like those deep "tunnel" gauges. i'm not too fond of the actual printing on the gauge itself, either. my mom's altima had the same style of deep gauge and i hated driving it just for that reason.

Ohh i gotcha, makes sense i guess? I don't mind them, i think they look cool but hey we all have diff opinions- otherwise it would be boring- we would all have the same looking car lol.

Oh yeah gotta ask, what's on the inside of your fuel door. Kinda looks like a # pad?

Yup, so i can never lock my keys in the car, its programmed.. I can open my doors or my trunk with it.. Instead of sticking it on my exterior paint n making it look gay- i hid it.. :). I thought that was the best place to stash it.

nice stang man. looks really good!

Yeah I was going to ask that and I was thinking the same thing, that would be cool though, kind of.

Thanks bro.
Yeah, its a keypad so i can get in my car.

Nice man I like that idea, perfect spot for it too.

thats a pretty clever idea, nice.

wow, that is a very clean a well put together car man.. looks great!!

oh and i like the hiding spot thats a cool idea

Nice Stang, man! I love windveil blue. I see you live in Orlando. You should go to one of our meets we have. Then, I won't be the only S197 there! :)
