Can I pull this off for 10 or 12 K?

i dont see why you couldnt do that for 12k...getting the HP is easy, go with a vortec kit from CobraKiller. The rims and tire combo will be moderatly expensive. However, you still would have allot of money left to drop the car how you want it, get the side exaust, side skirts, rear bumper, and paint to match. Tint is not expesive, nor is the chin spoiler. shaving the emblems requires that you simply remove them and fill any holes that you have prior to painting. You definitly can get that car how you want it IMO for 12K.

Well seeing that you already have the rims outta the way you should have one SWEET 12 sec stang for easily 10K if not less
