have a new member in my family...
 

the f4i will be jealous for awhile....we just replaced my wife's sebring convertible with '07 Mustang GT Premium Convertible....black...oh man...it's so sexy....and fast as hell....(not as fast as the bike, but the way it feels, it feels like driving my bike, but in a car..:D)

i am going to be doing some mods to that within the next few months so the bike will be sitting for a few months....although i still have LEDs to install, a manual CCT and frame sliders to put on the f4i...it's going to be a busy off-season...

i'll post pics of my new black beauty when i get them off the camera...

so happy, i have always wanted a stang...finally made it to where i could afford a new one...happy days!! :D

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

CONGRATS, POOR BIKE.. im in no way a ford guy, but i think they did a good job with the mustang styling.

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

yeah i have always loved mustangs...just have....i am also a sucker for muscle cars....yeah imports are cool....exotics are cool.....but there is just something about the good 'ol days of american built muscle cars..their looks, their sounds...mmmm....and especially the new stylings...all throwback styling...it's wonderful....

sooooo happy...want to go home and drive.... :D

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

i vote for hood pins.

if i had a new mustang, i'd totally rock hood pins, even if the rest of the car was bone stock. the front of the new mustang is...just.....sex.

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

had to make it a race issue didn't you?>!? hahah joking, congrats on the new ride!

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

yeah i think i am going to go for hood pins...i love that look too...only problem...we got the GT appearance package so it has a hood scoop, but it's not functional....problem...a functional one is slightly smaller and won't cover the holes of the factory scoop....oh the dilema....

likely to be added...

cold air intake
pulleys
gears
chip
exhaust

and a crap load of cosmetic stuff like blackouts, some chrome accents (have nice polished rims now), new 19" rims possibly in black and chrome....

dude seriously...it's beautiful...i love it...oh...and a rollbar...

and as for the black...

you know what they say...once you go black.......;)

RE: have a new member in my family...

RE: have a new member in my family...

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

Congratulations I have been Mustang poor for most of my life post a little bit about that under the drag racing section, but it looks great and nothing like a drop top is there

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

when i say chrome accents...i mean like a polished gas cap....i am not adding the gaudy ****e.....c'mon now...i am the one who is in the process of removing everything chrome or metal off my bike...it just that the it's all black with chrome rims now...so a few little "polished" touches...trust me...i am not a chrome fan....but some things need to be broken up on the car a bit....you'll see....i know how to make things look nice...if i can do anything i know how to do that well...

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

glad to hear it, ill trust yah, make sure you keep us updated with some pics [sm=smiley20.gif]

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

look @ mr big shot! finally passes the bar and what does he do .. goes out and buys a brand new car;)

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

screw chrome. :D

carbon fiber > chrome

brushed aluminum > chrome

carbon fiber > brushed aluminum (but only by a little)


so using SAT skills:

carbon fiber > all.:D

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

lol....normally i would agree...but when i get the good pictures i'll post....there is something about the shiny on the mirror black finish that is sort of nice....

on the inside we got the charcoal interior upgrade and it's sort of like a carbon fiber pattern metal dash...it's sweet...i'll post pics of that too....

no, i won't have a ton of chrome...but there will be a few things...it WON'T be blinged out...but it will look like a classy muscle car...that is, as long as the wifey doesn't veto things (technically, it's HERcar [:o])

@HAVOC
well technically, i bought the WIFE a new car....granted, it's manual and she can't drive manual yet, LOL...after 3 years of sufferin...yep...went out and bought me my first totally new car....when we drove it off the lot, it had 13.3 miles on it....wow....that was cool...:D

sorry, i really am on cloud 9 here...after years of scrappin by and hoping i would have a job, this is the first time in a long time that i feel like it was all worth it....

and ummmmm...HAVOC...when they make you a moderator...that's it....i'm leavin!!! [&:]

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

psh...you didnt go cobra??? haha jk stinky fingers, sweet ride, im green with envy!

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

haha in all reality im jealous.. i've never been able to buy a brand new car. butwith the way that i buy,trade and sell its probably for the best. so enjoy thehell out of that new car and everytime you driving it think of it as a reward for your hard work

and as far as me being a mod ya dont gotta leave .. i swear ill play nice with ya ;)

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

actually...what i REALLY wanted was the Shelby GT500...but alas....the one at the dealership was $46,000 on the floor, then an ADDITIONAL $15,000 market demand adjustment....bringing the total to just over $61k.....then i have to add in the CRAZY 8.75% taxes and now i am at $66,300...ummm...i couldn't justify it in a city with snow, having a rear-wheel drive car with over 520HP....just couldn't do it...

so i will mod my GT for now...it's sitting at 300HP stock....i want to get it over 400 so we'll see....damn...how am i going to split money between the bike and stang....UGH....

on a side note...here's a quickie pic of the bike (crappy pic, goods on the way in another thread) with the new exhaust and powderin....

you dont have to remind me about chicago weather [&:]God i need to move...

RE: have a new member in my family...
 

I had 3 mustangs, all 5.0s, all great. If every American car was as good as a Mustang, Ford, GM, and Chrsler would have no problems with the Japanese. Congrats on the car.

Think about some of that clear film to protect the front of that car, black really shows chips and whatnot.
