    New Stang, Bullitt or GT?

    To each their own! :nice: I happen to love Highland Green so getting this car made great sense to me! Only downside was that I had to trade in my sweet Mineral Grey 05 to get it. Oh well... ya only live once so ya might as well enjoy the ride! :hail2:

    New Stang, Bullitt or GT?

    There's no rule saying you can do performance mod's to a Bullitt... :nice: I think the only guideline is to try and maintain the stealthy outward appearance of the car. So.... if you want stealth go Bullitt!!! If you want bling-bling go GT/CS!! :D Either way more power to ya! Mustangs...

    What is the Battery Blanket for?

    Depending on where you live battery blankets may or may not live up to their expectations. Here in Arid-zona the average outside temperature is just slightly less than the surface of the sun so battery blankets aren't quite as effective as they'd be elsewhere.

    2008 Bullitt Exhaust

    And coincidently Doug happens to sell both the C&L and the JLT!!! :rlaugh: Now I'm NOT saying that Doug's numbers are skewed! I have great faith in Doug's skills. Rather I'm saying he has more experience with those two intakes and much more opportunity to fine tune them. :nice:

    I need a rumbling exhaust... help!

    Were it not for the fact that some people have had quality issues with them I'd say the old style Ford GTA exhaust. I have dual GTA's on mine and the rumble is deep and awesome! :nice:

    Clearcorner lights

    Tell your friend to double-check local laws before installing the clear corners. I know someone here in Arid-zona who installed clear corners. Recently he got pulled over and ticketed for them. As it turned out Arid-zona revised statutes specifically requires that the factory rears NOT be...

    What mods can you do w/o voiding warrenty coverage?

    Mod's only risk potentially voiding certain specific elements of the warranty. As an example if you install the Hurst and then have transmission problems the stealership might try to make you believe that the Hurst shifter caused the transmission problem.

    SCT Livewire

    AirAid does not require a flash... though a custom tune will certainly improve things even more. :nice: I know lots of people running AirAid's on their V6's and GT's! For the money they're awesome intakes!! :hail2:

    SCT Livewire

    Until recently my car ran with a MRT cold air intake. I just changed it out for an AirAid CAI. That AirAid CAI really improved responsiveness and SOTP feel!!! :hail2:

    Suspension upgrade...which brand?

    I took a somewhat different path for suspension: 1. Eibach Pro-kit springs 2. FRPP Shocks 3. GT Take-off front and rear sway bars 4. BMR Strut Tower brace I've had zero issues with the Eibach's in the year and a half that they've been installed. The ride is vastly improved over...

    Ford Racing Handling Pack

    Unless things have changed FRPP springs are manufactured by Eibach.

    How MUCH can I sell my BRAND new PONY package Wheels and Tires in So.Cal. ????

    Its tough to say since there are lots of variables to consider. I've seen plenty of sets of take-off Bullitts on Mustang forums and FleaBay... my personal guess is that you're probably looking at a potential sale price in the range of $300 to $500 for the wheels/tires.

    Baltimore Street Mods?

    I know several people who have purchased and installed vinyl from BSM. All were very satisfied with the quality of the material and the company. :nice:

    Poor Ford Racing axle-back quality, new system time?

    Interesting... I've had a set of GTA's installed on my car for a year now and haven't experienced any problems with them whatsoever. After reading this I went out and checked the hangers and I don't see any rust or evident of weak welds. Well maybe you somehow got your hands on a set built on...
