Thanks for the warm welcome. I http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392-...43007173bought this on ebay of all places for $26500 I thought it was a super deal considering I looked all summer and couldnt find anything under $30000 with this type of mileage. I won a Harley and sold it then unloaded the Stang so Im a happy camper. Ill post pics soon once I have time . IM in Upstate Ny around the Binghamton area NY/PA border. I would like to put a rear spoiler and maybe a performance exhaust. I do see mst pics here dont have rear spoilers so maybe Im missing something ?

Welcome, congrats and be prepared. These guy are the BEST at helping out anyone in need. They have helped me make my decisions on just about all the little mods that I do want to accomplish..We are in PA and I have one more month and under the cover they go. BUT--they are right---winter is the best time for modding..I'm hoping to be able to get started on the exhaust but most likely will only see the new wheels and tires by spring..

Spoliers?? Depends on what you are looking for? Alot of guys her are quite conservitive on ground effects (and that is about all they are conservitative on---trust me). I personally am getting the front spolier, side skirts, rear bottom piece (I have no idea what it is called) and the wing---sort of the classic wing. I was looking at the racing wing but after really looking at it and talking to the guys here---it's a bit overkill and I agree.. Ask away---everyone here will give you the best information they can and where the best place is to look for it..

Have fun and start modding now while you can't drive it---try to make Carlisle next year also---lots of cars, lots of people, forum members there to meet and lots to see and do..

Im curious aboutthe performance exhaust system . I had a flow master sysytem o nthe Stang and she had a nice growl which sounded great . What advantages do the performance exhausts give me and do you endorse the flowmaster product ? Thanks.....
