[QUOTE="Scotty-Z, post: 415831, member: 10619"] 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.
