[mustang0386]

1.wat hid bulbs should i get and will they make a difference?

2.lookin to buy gt fog lights for my car.where can i get the whole setup?

3.also are these worth buying for 35.
I have 3 new electronic guages i bought for my mustang but was never hooked up. Been sittin in my guage pod for the past 2 months. There 2 1/16' and have 5 or 6 built in led colors. I have water temp, oil pressure, and vaccum/boost

4.i bought some tires for my dd bullits.sizes 245/40 for 18x9 and 265/35 for 18x10 will that be fine or did i go to small.also will i need to do anything to make them fit or should they just be fine.

2. VMP tuning has the whole fog light setup cheaper than anywhere else i've seen.

The regular stock looking fogs are 149.00
The clear ones that match the headlights are 175.00

They come with the wiring, switch(under the radio), relay, brackets...everything.

sylvania silver starts are ok for the money, better than stock either way~

for the tires a 10.5 rim needs a 305-315mm wide tire, the 9 wide needs a 265 or 275 wide tire.

[mustang0386]

they had nothing bigger for nexen 3000.265 was the biggest for those tires.and plus im on a tight budget.but they will work rite?also where can i find a cheap cold air intake not ebay.i dont want to be dissapointed.

[SpectorV]

they will work, they will look a little stretched, you sure the rear is 10.5 wide? if so the 265 may not be wide enough~

[mustang0386]

yea i messed up i meant to just put 10.sorry

I'd go with one from American Muscle. They have their brand CAI for 74.99, and its a decent CAI. Easy to install, just as good as any $200 CAI.

[mustang0386]

also iwas thinking of doin the throtle body at the same time.would that add some hp.goin with the throtle body off american muscle and cai.wat other mods could i do for a decent money,

[sonicpony03]

Personally, I don't think the throttle body is necessary. It would make a bigger difference once you used forced induction or seriously built the engine.
Basic mods (bolt-ons) ~ CAI, Exhaust, Underdrive Pulleys, Gears/Tlok, and a good tune.
Do the tune last, then you'll get the most out of the supporting mods, and the computer will adjust for gearing, tire sizes, etc.

There is a good article about modding your mustang on here somewhere.

you should get the fog lights from pep boys. there 30bucks and they look just as good. you also have to go to lowes or home depot and buy small thin metal plates with some nuts n bolts to make the craddle for the lights n u have fog lights that look good for less than $100dollaz! check mine out they look just as good. i also did the cai all the way down to the right front fog light for less than $100bucks! and it works just as good!

[mustang0386]

ok so wat size tries should i go with.should i keep the 265/35 for the front and put 295/35 on back or 305/35.plz some1 lmk thanks.

[VCS_SSSTANG]

people run 45/65s all the time on 9/10"... don't think it would be that bad but I would want bigger.

[mustang0386]

thats not wat the guy at pepboys told me.he said i need a biiger tire for the back rims.they wouldnt even try.im try some1 where else.i thought it was fine for now until i get more money.

[SpectorV]

265/35/18,275/35/18, 295/35/18, 315/30/18s are the right sizes for 94-04 mustangs~ its not a perfect world but its as close as you can get.

For reference every inch is 25.4 mm

review article I wrote here for information on tire size so you know whats going down and how to calculate it yourself.

[mustang0386]

so i can get these tires put on the rims.cuz pep boys just said it wouldnt work and they would be bad for driving

[DaDant!]

this is the way i see it. pep boys knows cars they say its a bad idea... people on here know mustangs.... they say its a bad idea... honestly do you really want to 'cut corners" where the rubber meets the road? i sure dont. besides.....

275/35/18 Recommended for Best Fit on 1999-2004 Mustangs with 18x9 rims Front & Rear 3.8" 25.6" 80.4" 788.0

285/35/18 Recommended for Best Fit on 1999-2004 Mustangs with 18x10 rims - Rear Only Rear 3.9" 25.9" 81.2" 780.0

thats coming from the tire guide on American Muscle.

personally i would have stuck with the 17" wheel tires are alot cheaper. but with style comes cost and when you cut cost on tires your cutting your chances on safety as well.... this is all my opinion and some facts as well.

[mustang0386]

ok.tires are on not to bad.but i will upgrade the rears soon to 285.thanks to everyone for the help.

[mustang0386]

ok should i dump money in my v6 or look for a 99-04 gt.i really want a gt.or could i do a swap and put the 4.6 in mine and everything else.

[SpectorV]

what is your budget, what are your goals, and will the car be a daily driver or only a fun car? Dont settle if thats what you feel you are doing. Most regret modifying the v6 when they just end up buying a GT. With that said make SURE you at least get a 99-04 gt, while still quite slow they are much better than the pre 99 models.

[mustang0386]

its going to be a dd and fun.like i want to do some mods to it but not like goin to take it to the track or anything.i just really want that v8 sound and power.
