I'm not THAT old but my tastes are definitely what I'd call old school (check my sig). But a few things I want to add to this TFH...
I will be shopping for a new front facia sooner than I thought. I went out and waxed my 05 for a while this past weekend and saw many small chips/dents in it already. It is a little over 2 months old and has less than 2,500 miles but it is taking a helluva beating up front. I don't know if it is crappy paint or crappy plastic or what, but at this rate it'll look like japcrap by the time a year goes by.
I am not looking to put any chrome wheels, or spinnahs or 22s on the old girl, but maybe a little lowering and some black/grey/satin 18s would work, whatever I do the rubber has got to be wider. The factory tires look like they belong on a Taurus or something.
I am not going to do any fake scoops or even real ones that direct air to nothing. Maybe that is what the younger generation of ricers lean towards
I wont have a kickin sound system, in fact you'll neve hear my radio from outside the car...AM radio sounds bad if the volume is too loud anyhow...okay, maybe I
AM old after all LOL.
I wont do any mods designed to attract attention or get the "look at me" crowd to turn their heads. I've found that all that gets is negative attention from Johnny Lawman anyhow and I am enjoying my rates very much thank you.
I agree with the original poster's opinion that FoMoCo was smart to design a Mustang that appeals to and if affordable to younger buyers. Of course, it doesn't take a 2005 Mustang to point that out I'm sure the same thing was said from 1964-2004 too!
