Well we finally got it after waiting almost a month.

I have already started the visual mods and will post pics but the weather is crap right now and I can not take any photos.

Here are the mods so far....

Exterior visual mods
Chrome curb feelers
Two rubber strips screwed into and hanging off the bottom of the rear bumper
Kenwood sticker going across the top of the windshield
HEMI sticker on the back bumper.
76 ball on top of radio anntenna
Chrome deer whistles screwed into the front bumper
Extra large Bart Simpson pissing on JAPAN on rear window

Interior mods...
Grass, Gas or Ass sticker on passenger side of dash
My 1983 high school grad tassel and pine scented Christmas tree hanging on mirror.
Stick on dash compass/LED clock combo (with date function)
Waggle head dog and Colts Superbowl Champions baseball cap on rear deck
Jesus statue glued to top of dash.

There are a few more mods coming in the mail but it takes while for shipments form walmart.com (not affiliated) to arrive at an APO address.

Have you thought of fuzzy dice for the mirror or fuzzy balls hanging from the headliner?

you should look into the bullitt holes as well...always a nice touch, and running boards.

Obviously you need to add a trailer hitch for no other reason than to have a place to hang a plastic nutsack off of.

You forgot the stick-on Buick style fake vents on the fenders.

chrome trim on the fenders would be tight.

You need some type R stickers and APC lights to give it 20 more HP.

You could also just pull out a JC Whitney catalog and randomly open up pages and buy whatever is on the page.......

Don't worry Thumper, it's a joke. He may only have a few posts here, but he's got more in other areas. Not just a hell raiser.

Thanks for the additional recommendations. The trailer hitch is a good idea along with the gold fender trim. I also like the JC Whitney idea.

I am glad most of you realized it was a joke.

The modding has begun though. I ordered the Vista Blue mirror covers and the SHR rear black out panel. Gonna get sequential rear lights next month. After we are done with the visual mods we might go some mild engine performance and suspension mods.

I have a whole wish list and will be slowly buying visual mods until we get her car to where we like it without being gaudy.

Pics will have to wait since everyone in the world has seen a stock V6. Well...maybe I will post some of the wife with her pride and joy if we get some good weather.

We love having a Mustang in Germany since it is not a car you see on the road everyday here. Even the V6 turns heads over here.

The wife and I have been having a difficult time keeping under 60 MPH during break in. She wants to take off everytime a little Peugeot or Fiat gets on her ass or passes her on the Autobahn.

I thought it was funny. The unique thing about the Mustang is that there are so many parts available to mod it that it can be made into nearly anything...the only limit is the owner's personal taste and style...which can often be lacking

There aren't many other cars out there that will allow owners to express so much 'individuality' ...both good AND bad!

I just can't imagine why you'd choose "Kenwood" over "Fear This!!!" for the windshield.



I see this hilarity all the time here in Northern Virginia. Thankfully it's more common on the Civics and Accords from yester-decade. I don't know how I would handle it if I saw this stuff on an S-197....
