Post Finally Looking Like A Mustang!

The previous pictures of my mustang with wet sanded headlights were in the dark so finally I got some pictures of it during the daylight. I was wishing to get some pictures up yesterday but it rained all day so I never got the chance. I am really happy with the outcome of the pictures except for the fact that I do not have a great camera to take pictures with.

Nice car! You should ditch that huge antenna and add a chin spoiler

Yeah I will eventually and I will most definitly get a chin spoiler. I was thinking on getting long tubes before I get a chin spoiler but i'm not sure.

I wouldn't bother with longtubes on a V6. Get some wheels and lower that beast first.

I wouldn't bother with headers until after you've gotten a new exhaust system put on.

please do not get long tubes, they are a total wasts of money. i don't know what kind of mods you have already, but their are probably so many more that you should do before long tubes. gears, a short throw shifter, cat-back exhaust, sprins and shocks, etc.

since you really seem to be concerned with making it look like a mustang, i recommend the grille delete, chin spoiler, some new wheels, and start from there.

Alright sounds good! I am new at this so I am glad you told me this before I did anything that would not be worth it.

Guys, cat backs do nothing to a six.

Neither really make for any noticeable gains. Maybe 5-6 Horses combined, +/- depending on a possible tune.

Go for a true dual setup and forget about the LT's. With the 3.8/9's being even firing no connecting mid-pipe seems to be the best type of exhaust to go with from everything that I've seen, not to mention the best sounding IMHO.

What do you want to achieve with your sixxer? Looks, performance? I'll tell you now, if you want to make a beastly V6, you'll have to invest a good bit of money or be willing to go the nitrous route. If you just want a sexy Mustang, well...

1. Wheels 2. Springs/Shocks/Struts/Caster Camber plates. 3. New Headlights. 4. Grille Delete.

Those 4 things would make a night and day different car.
