How about some Bullitt pedals and crystal-clear foglights?

Both cheap and easy to install.

That was my first thought.

Go for some lowering springs but not too low.

Well, I've already got Bullitt pedals, and I was going to tint the fogs black when I do the taillights (I've got it almost looking like a V6, except the exhaust and rear bumper, and that'll be the final step in making it look like a V6. ;D )

I thought about that, too, but I'm undecided on which springs I want, I'm more interested in springs for the track than lowering, and since I can't do the install myself (see the "not allowed to use the jack" post above, lol), that's another part that would be sitting in the garage waiting for install...

I've already got 4.10's (tho I wish I would have gone with 4.30's!)


The more I think about it, I am thinking maybe I should just get the control arms installed. It's been killing me having them sitting around, and I don't have enough traction as it is, so I may just go ahead and get them on and just worry about the panhard bar when I can afford it...

Your #1 and 2 are both good choices,

The FR500 is sweet and i wish i added it the first time i seen one for sale years ago...install isn't bad but you need a Ford Steering wheel puller.

The shift boot and knob are also nice upgrades...

Maybe you should wait to get your LCA's installed so you can decide what other suspension mods you want done and have them done together to save installation costs.

I think you are more of a Steeda Drag Spring / Strange adjustable shocks/struts girl then a lowering Spring girl O0

:) Thanks, Bob. I'm still not sure, lol. But I'll probably just go with the shift knob/boot option (tho I do want those control arms on!)

Alot of GT owners get the letters filled in when they get a Cobra bumper. This is probably what I will do eventually, once I change the hood and possibly the front bumper.

i really think you would like the springs. not only does it make the car look 100% better, it also improves the handiling quite a bit, takes the body roll out, improves cornering. isn't it something your husband could help you with.

He's not quite as enthusiastic about my car as I am, lol. I do most of the installs on it myself, but he won't let me do anything that involves the jack, cause he says I will get hurt.
