Yup I like the wheels. I was thinking about either getting a cobra R wing or just painting my spoiler black and getting a Mach1 Chin Spoiler...would that look good?


Posted by: 94gtstang50

Chin spoiler is the only visual thing I would do, I'd say do performance stuff next, first thing I would suggest is to get a flowmaster dual exhaust. it will make the car sound a lot better. Is it a manual or auto?

Chin spoiler and grill delete and leave it like that. Cobra R wings don't look good on convertibles with the top down. Just too out of place.

A flat black stock spoiler like the mach 1 might look good. Been thinking of doing that on my car


Posted by: MustangRich04

Its an automatic . I definentally want to go dual exhaust. Will the flowmaster be deep or will it sound ricey? What performance stuff should I do to the car? Yeah, my girlfriends dad has his own paint shop so if I didnt like the flat black spoiler, I could always paint it back. He also thought about maybe painting around the window black because the whole bottom have is yellow, then when you hit the windows, it goes to black but around the windshield its yellow. I dont know if I would like it, but what do you guys think?


Posted by: 94gtstang50

The flowmaster doesn't sound ricey, makes it almost sound like a V8. I'd say get a shift kit for the tranny if you want it to shift a little faster. Mac makes a nice CAI for V6's, my friend has on on his 2000.

Very nice car!! Definately take off the guards on the side. I think the black spoiler and chin spoiler would look awesome on there. Love the wheels!!


As for exhaust...you can listen to some sound clips here http://www.3.8mustang.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65566

I wouldn't touch it. It looks good as it is.

For exterior mods, i would do a Mach 1 chin spoiler, Mach 1 grill delete, remove the side shopping cart gaurds, put in black MUSTANG lettering in the rear and *maybe* paint the rear spoiler flat black. If you really want to get adventurous see if you can find a GT owner with the same color willing to swap hoods. That way you can get the big hood scoop.

I don't really like the black graphics on the car but that's my opinion. To each their own.

what are the shopping cart guards


Posted by: ExBamaGal

The strip going down the sides in the middle of the doors. Also, you can usually find a hood scoop on ebay if you want one. I got mine from a car show in Charlotte but it's not a GT scoop.

I was thinking either the GT Scoop or maybe going with a Ram Air Hood, do you think that the Ram Air would look nice? I saw it in a magazine on a yellow Mustang like mine and it jumped out at me!

They are the strips on the doors in the center. Mustangs don't come with those from the factory the dealer sticks them on after delivery.

Usually they are put on all V6's not custom ordered. Once in a while they find their way onto a GT. Door looks a lot better with them removed.

They are just held on with 3M tape.

Sure, that would look great! I couldn't afford the new hood so I went with the scoop. If you can get it then go for it!

It does look good but it's expensive. You don't gain as much as you'd think with it.

The hood is actually functional? I didnt know that. I just liked the looks of it. I want style out of my car more than I want performance. But I am thinking about putting in a supercharger and stuff like that. What would you guys recommend? And I have no clue about gears, whats the difference and what is the best ratio to go?

Well which hood are you talking about exactly?

The GT hood is not functional.

Certain ram air hood are functional but unsure if they have one for the V6 model yet. You'd have to send me a link of the one you were referring to?

I agree. Good looking ride for any age.

I personally like the Cervinis Ram air hood, looks great, but it will cost a pretty dime!
