The official "Before and After thread"
I know that many of us have had major transformations with our stangs with rims, kits, lowering, spoilers, etc. So here's where you show the before and after pics from when u first got the car and how it looks today. If you want, also list what mods you've done to it. I'm proud of my car's change since I bought it and I'm sure most others are proud of theirs as well.

removed trim on doors
removed dealer stickers
removed dealer front/back license plate frame
new chrome mustang plate frame
removed "mustang gt" side stickers
cold air intake

I meant the exhaust. LOL I just watched your vid again. nice sound, I want that sound. Dude down the street from me has that same exhaust and he pisses me off when he gets beside me. I can't blow his eardrum like he does mine. I'm gonna get beside him soon and give him some hearing loss

the top is around $300 if you plan to do it yourself. but everybody i talked to advised against doing it yourself. i guess it's a lot more work than it seems. i called around and most places wanted like $1200 or more to put a new top on. finally i found a guy who only charged like $600 and i dropped it off that day. it's a vinyl material which is what comes stock on the car. you can upgrade to some kinda cloth but it's not needed as the vinyl lasts longer. you will have to replace the back window if you're changing the color. i did. if you're not changing the color then it should cost a lot less, maybe half as much. convertible tops were designed to be replaced every 4 to 5 years. i've had my new top on for about 6 months and it still looks brand new, i put some vinyl protectant stuff on it whenever i wash my car.
im planning on buying new seats for mine also, i dont like the gt seats. im trying to find some comfortable racing seats that arent too overpriced. if anybody has any recommendations it'd be greatly appreciated. they have to be comfortable.
