Hey all my names Jesse. I joined the site a few months ago, if I remember correctly.

Just bought my first Mustang in November. It's a 1994 5 spd 3.8 v6. I've already upgraded it a little bit with BBK headers and Ford Racing lowering springs all around, along with a thicker sway bar in front. Also has Grippi adjustable caster/camber plates in front. Even went and picked up a set of 16 inch 95 GT Pony wheels and tires for all for corners, just for a little better grip over the crapped 14s that the last owner had on it. I've dont some lighting work to it as well (check out the avatar). Now i know from reading some posts, ya'll seem very picky about lights and ricyness, and to some it may be ricey but to each his/her own. Here soon I plan on running true dual exhaust either out the back (GT/Cobra style) or out the side (newer 03 Cobra R style) and possibly supercharging it, but thats later. This car is slowly becoming my little daily driver/project.

Now, I'll say this... I am a GM guy, not going to lie. BUT, I am NOT here to bash the Mustang, I promise y'all that right now lol. I love all things American Muscle, whether it be Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. I've just grown up around GM and have a bit more knowledge leaning that way. But since I've gotten this car I've started to love it and become curious about it in a lot of ways. I love learnin more about the vehicle i own, and from what i've read so far on this site... you all seem to know your stuff and know it well. So I figure this would be the place to go for advice and future incite on my new found toy :rolleyes:

I'll post some pics of it here soon. I'll be the first to admit it's not perfect... Hell I bought it for $1500, and for that is far FAR better that I would have ever expected it to be so I'm very pleased with it. :D

So thank you all fro readin this. I hope you don't hate me for being a Chevy guy lol. At least I aint here to hate or be a troll!

Welcome to the site. I too was primarily a GM guy until I got my 95Gt.
How about somemore pics and details about your headlights.

Welcome to the club. I never saw the point of us ford owners bashing on chevy owners when what we should be doing is uniting against ricers lol :p

Now, about the lights. They may look nice but i will admit, i took the cheap route since i'm going to be getting projectors asap. So the way it is now is temporary but will be carried over when i get the porjectors, just in a much cleaner way. all i did with these was use Max LED strips i found at autozone... yep... and stuck them to the lens of the headlights on the out side and around the edge of the turn signal. i'll post daytime pix when i get my phone workin again.

When the headlights are off and its day time you dont really notice them till you look right at them. It just looks like stock headlight... which is what they really are lol.

And i saved the best picture for the last one for now.

The Mustang... one of American's most well known and popular muscle cars... parked beneath Ol' Glory on a snowy Christmas night. How cool is that? lol.

More to come later on when i get my phone workin

I don't bash but if I have the chance to "razz" someone for something, my friends know I will. I joke about the pushrod/modular differences, chevy/ford differences, dumb/smart people what ever material is available at the time. I would never really bash someone elses choice of car/what ever, might say I would do something different but who is to say what is the best choice. Gm makes some good stuff no doubt and anyone that says that you can't make big power with the right choices of gm product is too dumb to carry on a conversation.

I never got a camaro because I was not old enough to drive them before I cut off my mullet. We all know you need a glorous mullet to own a camaro and I never met that requirement.....
