cheep diy mods

tristang · 04-30-2008, 04:03 PM

so i just droped like all of my mod money on my new black fr500s. so im on a tight budget for the rest of the summer.

ive been looking around and found a few cheep visual mods that i could do. so im going to paint my gas tank a satin black and mabe polish the strapps. (it looks faded and gray right now) and im gona make my own shorty antena, and i want to cut the hangy down part off of my front bumper. (that flat piece of uselessness)
so that will give u the idea. i didnt know if any one else had any stuff like that.

and dont worry, im gona fit in some real mods as well hehe.

Lower the wiper arms, paint the brake calipers, paint the interior acent pieces, remove that side stripe... I don't know what you already have done though.

I lowered my wiper and I haven't noticed any problems when it rains. Maybe I just don't know beucase its been about 4 years since I've had the wipers where they normaly are. I just put them where the tip of the blade touches the cowl cover. And I vote black on the calipers, with a silver Mustang sticker from Ebay to put on'em. I saw a picture of that once and it looked really good. What about that side stripe? I think it should come off.

tristang · 04-30-2008, 07:50 PM

well a lot of people say that i should take it off. but i kinda like it. so im up in the air about that.

03_GT · 04-30-2008, 07:52 PM

Keep the flat piece of plastic on the bottom. It directs air up to the radiator.
