This pictures are of course prior to the accident. But I'm looking to make some serious modifications soon. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I'd like a cold air intake, possible gear change, TC/SC, and staggered time and tires. Feedback is welcome. I'm still not sure which cold air intake, TC/SC or if I should change my gears. All help is greatly appreciated! . Visual mods welcome as well. I was thinking of adding stripes where the raise is on the cowl and blacking out my pony and back emblem.
I like those! I would go black with the grabber blue. Is your car lowered at all? That has been my favorite thing to do to my car. Handles awesome! I have 18s and with it lowered, I really like how it looks.
Hey, I bought sonic blue nail polish to match my car. Lmao. I understand.

It's not lowered right now. I'm a little unsure about doing that. I live moreso in the country so in afraid with all the bumps. How much should I lower it? Do you know anything about pipes?
I would say the 18's, may be easier to find tires in the future. I think a blackout panel and black fuel door would look great on your car. As far as other modifications go. Gears are never a bad thing (4:10 of course)

You think? What do I have stock? 3.5? Or 3.7? I really don't know too much about gears its just something I just started looking into. I'm not a fan of the decklids though lol.
I'd love to do this soon but money is tight. Will be especially if I have to pay to fix the body damage myself. The SC/TC and rims/tires are more long term since they're the most expensive and not necessary right now. Something like a cold air intake would be soon.
I think the 19's have a more complete look, just fill up the wheel well better, I was very worried about lowering mine but I bought some SVE lowering springs which actually have ford racing printed on them for $100 less than FRPP springs. Just lowered one inch and have had zero issues with marginal loss in ride quality
I'd work from the ground up if it were me (well I actually am doing that lol) Wheels/tires in my opinion are the single best appearance mod. It was my first mod. Adds look and traction. After that should be suspension. I'd do an 8.8 rear and some gears if I had a 4.0. speedconcepts.net sells take off's for a decent price. Between $700-1200 I believe? Could check junk yards too. Then grab an eibach handling kit. Affordable and very noticeable feel in how the car drives and feels. Huge impact. Then I'd grab a CAI & tune. All of that stuff would be pretty pricey. Probably close to $5k. But it'd be worth it imo if you're going to want to super or tubrocharge your car. But after that you would spent around $10k. Which is ALOT lol. So maybe isn't worth it for you or maybe it is. But you'd have one helluva 6 if you did!

The wheel/tire kit I want is $1400. I figured I'd hold off on that because I have brand new tires on my car. No point in throwing them away. I could sell them but I don't think I'd get much for them. What gears would you get?

Yeah, I see. Your wheels are black anyway so they ain't that bad. I plan on going with 3.73's or 4.10's myself. Just remember if you upgrade your gears the higher you go the more traction your going to need.

Depending on how steep you go, could lose highway mpg's. Some saw there city milage actually increases slightly. I'm no expert with rear axle on yours but if you upgrade gears I'd think you'd need an 8.8 rear or something like this: http://www.americanmuscle.com/auburn-hp-28spline-75-lsd.html
For the money it'd be more worth just getting the 8.8 over that imo
One thing to remember when selecting your gears and the style of boost you want is that 4.10s with a supercharger is gonna make it extremely hard to get traction in first and possibly even second, and vice versa with the turbo. Since you will be revving pretty fast through those first gears you won't be in the boost very often with a turbo since it needs to spool up a bit.
Wheels and springs all came from LRS (latemodelrestoration.com)
