Got tired of driving my Ford Escape XLT Sport and wanted to get into something fun, so today I bought a 97 Mustang GT. It is a 5-speed and in nearly immaculate condition. Not a thing wrong with the interior at all (which is predominantly gray with the exception of a black section on the top of the dash). These owners took great care of it and the previous owner entered it in a few local shows. It already has some things that I'd have done to it, is the Laser Red colored I wanted, and is in tremendous shape. It has:
- Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter (feels great)
- Eclipse CD Head Unit
- Power Sunroof (never seen one on a Mustang, but I love it!)
- BBK Cold Air Intake
- Offroad H-Pipe
- Mac Exhaust
- Cobra R Hood (a version of it. It wouldn't have been my first choice because of the scoop, but I can live with it)
- Chrome Cobra Wheels
- 245/50R16 on Front 315/35R17 on Back
- Extra Set of Front Wheels and Tires Go with Car
- Fog Lights in box come with car
The first thing I'll do when I get it home is to get off the Cobra emblems. They're cool, but I don't believe in badging a car as something that it wasn't from the factory (so they'll be for sale if anyone wants them). The hood is okay and I can live with it, but I'm pretty sure that I'll start working on some money for swapping these wheels for some AFS 18" 03 Cobra wheels in a machined finish. The 16"s on the front don't look like 16" in person, but they're okay I guess for now. I'll also eventually lower it with some H&R SS springs. I'd like to also add a lower front lip, such as the Mach 1 style. And as soon as I get it, I also plan to mask off the rear lower bumper and paint that section in a semi-gloss black. As for the exhaust, it sounds great. If it had been stock, I'd have gone with a Prochamber or Magnaflow X and then into a Magnaflow exhaust, but I'll leave this. Has some good volume to it, but quiets down as well when cruising. It already has tint (looks to be about 20%, which is perfect), a headunit, rear stainless fill-ins, exhaust, a shifter, and intake, so those are all things I don't have to spend money on! Overall, I'm completely in love. Here it is:
