Thumper's Mustang: Stage Two

It's time for stage two of the Mustang. I'm finishing up the exterior of the car. I've got the Roush front fascia kit sitting in my room which includes also includes some serious fog lights. I also got the Roush P51 chin spoiler and the P51 billet grille. The P51 Mustang is Roush's top of the line car. It symbolizes 510hp/510tq and Jack's love with the planes. So it'll set my car apart from the other guys. I also went ahead and ordered the Roush rear spoiler. I never liked it but I saw one on a blacked out Mustang like mine and it looked gorgeous. I couldn't find anyone locally who could paint anything so I went ahead and got the stuff pre-painted from Roush. The quality on the paint is top notch !! I'm very happy with it.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the rear bumper. It's either going to be the Roush rear bumper and exhaust or a GT500 rear bumper. I'm also trying to find someone to trade me trunk lids since I've got the ugly Sirus antenna. I've got someone that wants my GT500 spoiler so I'm trying to get him to just swap lids as an even exchange. The guy might also want to buy my front bumper and chin spoiler so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I want to do a hood down the road but I can't decide on one. I'll probably get something like the Steeda Street Cowl, I believe it's a 2.5" cowl. The only other thing I need to order are the 3D Carbon side scoops. 3D Carbon is Ford licensed product so the quality is top notch and I can buy them pre-painted as well. Here is a link to a set of them.

I'm still not too sure where I'm going to go performance wise with the car. I'm running 302 rwhp and 318 rwtq which isn't bad with the money I've put into it. I'm only running a dyno tune, cold air intake, muffler delete, UDPs, and CMCVs. At this time, I'm pretty sure I'm going to just go with a loaded nitrous system. I'm talking full gauge set-up, remote bottle opener, purge kit, bottle warmer, plugs, etc. I want to eventually get another car for a daily driver and do a 5.4L motor swap in my car so putting a turbo or supercharger on it would be kind of pointless.

If anyone wants to know where to buy stuff from Roush, get it from Troy Ford Racing. They are a dealer out of Ohio and I highly recommend them. The front fascia kit was drop shipped from Roush but Roush made a mistake and sent it to the dealer instead of directly to me. I was thinking I wasn't going to get it for a while. Well, the dealer without even telling me, ended up sending it two day. Not to mention they already have free shipping for anything over $100 !! Great experience, I highly recommend them.


Here are the photos, let me know what you guys think about everything !!

Of course. It's been clayed, #80, PB Black Hole, and PB EX. I still need to top it with #16 but I was going to wait until it was on the car.

It'll be possible. I'm going to do it early on Sunday. I've also got a factory take off GT bumper to put on my girl's V6 S197.

Unacceptable! This thread should have never been made until there were pictures to go with it. I'm extremely disapointed.

No but really, I can't wait to see it. I've been keeping an eye out for a good deal on another Mustang for a second car. I miss my old one. Looking forward to pictures.

I saw the wanting a 5.4L comment, so I guess that must be a definite for sure?

In that case, how about a GT500 motor swap?

That's what I'm talking about. Justin's GT500 is pushing 700+ rwhp with the FRPP supercharger upgrade and some basic mods.
