Since i ordered my 5.0, ive been looking up what mods i should do first. I already have my exhaust picked out.
-American Racing Longtubes
-American Racing or/x
-Pypes mid muffler exhaust or Borla ATAK catback

For springs im going with either:
-H&R supersports
-or-
-Eibach Prokit
-Eibach Anti-roll kit

For looks im keeping it real simple:
-Roush Spoiler to get rid of the "bubble but"
-or-
-Street Scene Ducktail
http://www.stage3motorsports.com/pr...0-Mustang-Street-Scene-Rear-Wing-Spoiler.html
-CDC front chin spoiler
-Street Scene Side Scoops


For wheels im in a bit of a pickel... i like a few..

-20x9 and 20x10 Godspeed Omega deep dish wheels in BLACK CHROME
http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale.com/godspeed-deep-dish-wheels-rims.asp

-BLACK CHROME 18" Billet deep dish wheels with nitto nt555 255/40/18 and (if i can find these in 18") nitto nt555RII 305/40/18
http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BULLITTWHEELTIREPACKAGES_BLKCHR1

- BLACK CHROME 18" FR500s with the same tire option as the billets
http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale.com/proddetail.asp?prod=05UPBLACKCHROMEFR50018X10

- HYPER BLACK 20" Axis Matrix wheels
http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AXISMATRIX2010

- Black Shelby cs40 wheels 20"

or

-20" Shelby Alcoa wheels (super snake wheels)


Im leaning torwards 18" Black Chrome wheels with a thick tire out back, but i cant find the nitto nt555rII in 18"

(NOTE: I am not ordering any parts until i get the car and decide exactly what i want so i dont keep changing stuff and waisting money)

I saw a Kona Blue 5.0 while working last week and man did i love it. Awsome color choice!!

Black chrome would look very sharp on it. I have a set (18"-FR500s) sitting in my room from CC's jsut havent bought tires yet.

well i saw a 2010 kona blue gt with black chrome fr500s in the for sale section but i dont want to copy him


I wouldnt say your copying him. I see mustangs all voer the place with the same wheels as my 95 has, Black bullits.

Its whatever you want to do.


I have my Black Chrome FR500s from CC though theyve never been mounted on the car yet, they dont have any chips or scratches. & ive also seen other peoples with no issues at all. Im thinking some people jsut got a bad batch of them while others made out good. But this doesnt give any reason for CC not to stand behind there products.

first mod? easy. Paint it black. :lol2:



In any case you might want a look at the 2011 gt500 wheels. The antracite (?) looks stunning on Kona Blue.

im a big fan of wheels with big lips... the only wheels that i like that dont have lips are the alcoas and the new gt500 wheels. but im going for the drag/mean look.
