    What is on your holiday wish list?

    Ford Racing Axel Backs

    Looks GREAT, CJ! :nice: I noticed you have a white Stang. How is that color working for you? Any stripes/visual mods? I have the green color and am seriously considering painting mine white with blood red stripes. White with chrome rims and tailpipes... well, you just can't get better...

    GearHeads Help Me Out - Exhaust ?'s

    Haha! Nice. But seriously, your "journey" has certainly been educational. No idea how you pay for all this stuff! :p Thanks for documenting it all (it should definitely be a stickey on the forum). :nice: What's your current set-up and plans?

    GearHeads Help Me Out - Exhaust ?'s

    FRPP mufflers I think these will be okay for now. Mostly I just wanted to get some nice chrome tailpipes stickin' out of my car's rear end! :) I do eventually want LOUD, but this was a nice, cheap way to get the look and a little bit of loud quickly. Don't worry though... eventually I'll...

    What is on your holiday wish list?

    Addendum Actually, this is my plan for the next few weeks: 1. Get new wheels (19"!) and tires (already ordered... should be in today). :D 2. Install FRPP Axle-Back (GTA). Ordered and should arrive sometime next week (but me and my Stang will be in Cali, so it'll have to wait for me...

    GT, are your taillights smoked or charcoal? They look great. :nice:

    What is on your holiday wish list?

    Whatchya want for Christmas? A new paint job. I got the Legend Lime, but the new chrome wheels I'm putting on tomorrow don't really go well with the green. I'm thinking of either white with blood red stripes or a deep red with not sure about the stripe color! :)

    Couple things I don't like about my Mustang

    Yeah, me too, except mine is more of a cracking/popping sound from the passenger side dash when I go over rough pavement. It's very annoying. I'll be taking it into the dealer after Thanksgiving to get it looked at. No doubt the car won't do it when they test drive it! :) Isn't that how it...

    GearHeads Help Me Out - Exhaust ?'s

    Well, nevermind, I guess! I just ended up ordering the FRP M-5230-GTA from Ninosport (thanks to this thread: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=665830). Really good deal. I was intrigued by the M-5230-5GT (Stingers), but the price on the ones I got was just too good. This is...

    GearHeads Help Me Out - Exhaust ?'s

    Not to hijack the thread, but... I too am looking for an exhaust upgrade. I have read pretty much everything there is on Mustang exhaust (there's even a website called mustangexhaust.com), but I'm still unsure which one to pick. I'm only interested in an axel-back upgrade at this time and not...

    Waiting On Your 2006 Order?

    Sweet! Congrats. Let us know when you get it. And yeah, the dealer I bought mine from said a guy had recently come in and put down a similar pre-payment. I don't remember the amount, but it was significant. There's always someone who's better-looking, smarter or (most importantly) has a...

    November 2005 Mustang Sales Decrease

    Hmmm... where do you live 351CJ? I know that around here (Seattle, WA), GTs are still a rather rare commodity. I suppose if sales continue to slide, they'll have to start making deals to move 'em. It's a great car, so that's certainly not the problem! :lol:

    Waiting On Your 2006 Order?

    Wow, that's where I bought mine! 'Cept mines not a vert. And this is exactly why I took what was on the lot: cause I didn't want to wait anymore for this car. I'd already waited a year and a half. That was quite long enough, thank you. I do hope you get your baby soon though. :nice:

    November 2005 Mustang Sales Decrease

    Oh, but the T-Bird was a hideous looking car, IMO. I know it was also "retro-ish", but it just didn't do it for me. And obviously the American public agreed. I think the Mustang sales problem is simply because they're not building enough GTs and the V6's aren't selling like they anticipated...

    your thoughts on the Red Interior

    I agree with this 100%. Black with red accents would look AMAZING. But 100% red? Yuck.

    Can't get over my V8 envy.

    I love that attitude. It is true, we're all here for a limited time, perhaps more limited than we might know. So living for the day is not a bad way to run your life at all, I don't think. Good riding to you. Let's all try to stay on that horse as long as we can. :banana:

    Can't get over my V8 envy.

    I know this decision is killing you, but honestly I'd have to say that if you really can't afford a GT, just get the V6. Now yeah, I just got a GT for myself so you'd think I'd be one of those "Buy a GT or you're a loser" guys, but I'm not. Like I said before, I'd considered the V6 for a long...

    Ouch

    Wow! That thing looks like it rolled. Red leather interior too. Front wheel still looks salvageable! ;) To me, the car feels pretty solid. I got the side air bags too, so that gives me a little extra feeling of security. But hell, if I'm gonna die in an auto wreck, it might as well be...

    I take the plunge tomorrow

    That's a sweet lookin' ride! Is it just me or is my green a little lighter than the green on that car? Maybe the black stripes make that green look darker. I will have to decide whether to paint this baby or whether to go with stripes. Black is an obvious choice, but I also think a darker...

    Ouch

    :worthlesb But seriously, I just wanna see what I'm surely headin' towards. This car simply begs you to drives fast. It's like havin' two devils on your shoulders.
