New pony!

Yeah buddy got a 2003 Mustang 4.6L!





This guy must have been king of the trailer park. lots of billet aluminum all over. the rear window loovers and even under body lights....well just the right side because the left side wire melted on the exhaust......

and he got a little to close with a power washer and power washed the clear coat off the hood and left fender.....

had it for about a week now and loving it. 20 bucks gets me a half tank!! and over about 20-22MPG mostly city driving with AC blasting and alot of getting on it because its the fastest car i have ever owned.

should be alot of fun. and give me somthing to drive while the fuse box is out of my truck!

Nice find! The good thing with all that tacky stuff is that it's mostly removable. I might have to stay away from you though if you're a "bad influence"

I like the bad influence, I agree with leaving it! My dad has one that shines through "mustang" on his 07 GT.

You can just pick and choose what do you do and don't like! +1 on Pat's questions too

That ain't half bad! The manuals in those are extremely chunky and clunky anyway, don't care for that specific manual.

have quite the parts list going. what do you guys think so far?

3.73's i heard are the way to go.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/373-ge...-kit-8613.html

Cold air intake for only 70 bucks!
http://www.americanmuscle.com/mugtv8pocoai.html

4.6 out of 5 review!

new tail lights
http://www.americanmuscle.com/sequen...lice-9604.html

they have a plug and play but its 40 bucks more and i dont know if its worth it!

Are smoked fog lights worth 75 dollars for a pair or should i just get replacement?
http://www.americanmuscle.com/smoked...ghts-9904.html

Stock replacement driver side is out.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/foglight-9904-lh.html

Also thinking of new head lights. thinking of going HALO's what you think?

http://www.americanmuscle.com/9904-l...ors-black.html

http://www.americanmuscle.com/9904-l...rs-chrome.html

Smoked unsmoked?

if i went with factory ones i would get smoked.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...ber-99-04.html

i kind of want the HALO's so i can change out the rings

red makes the care look demonic



found halos a little cheaper.

Gears - 3.73's are what's in the 05+'s IIRC, but you might be able to even get away with 4.10's because you're automatic.

Intake - go for it if you want it

Taillights - I like 'em!

Fog lights - get whichever you like more cause either looks good to me. But if you're gonna get darker heads and tails, might as well get black fogs too

Headlights - I usually don't like aftermarket heads, but I think the smoked halo ones look pretty good! Definitely smoked over clear, the clear look too aftermarkety. However, the smoked factory ones are by far away the best! Can you maybe do a retrofit and/or just add halos to the factory lenses on a mustang?

I do have to suggest getting the hood and fender painted before doing any mods though. I feel that that is the most important, though it's not as fun
