2005 Mustang Engine and Visual Upgrades?

TCB8001 · 12-04-2004

Hey

I'm looking for some basic 2005 Mustang GT engine and visual upgrades

If anyone knows of a good site that I could go to it'd be appreciated

Things like window tintings, engine upgrades, brakes, tires are what I'm looking for

I did find a couple good sites for some easy and kind of inexpensive upgrades for your 2005 Mustang if anyone's interested

Check out www.tirerack.com for new, aftermarket rims
As of 12.04.04 they have 53 rims and they're of good variety- no matter what style your're looking for you should be able to find a good set here

Check out http://www.v8power.com/cgi-bin/ccp51/cp-app.cgi for some engine upgrades, but I'm not sure about their quality or reliability

Have a good day

Look for all the usual players to be in this bigtime:
UPR, Steeda, Saleen, FRRP, Bassini, Magnaflow, JBA, etc.

should get you started - amount of available parts for your car will probably double every month for the next 24 months.

Thanks for the great recommendations meatball - I checked them all out and I especially like that tire site because you can change the color of the car with it

Thanks again

Yo i was wondering if you know if there are any body kits that are available for the 2005 stang now. I think there are but some people are telling me there arent cause its such a new car. Do you know and if there are which one would be a good pick.

we saw a lot of good kits at sema this year. expect the kits to be out around the first of the year.

Will be getting my Mustang Gt Feb 1st... Looking into lowering and maybe doing some other minor mods. Anyone want to guess how much they lowered this Mustang GT? And the Size Rims?

if someone can read the winhshield banner, you could call and ask them

I would venture a guess of 18" with a 1" drop..

Sittin' on 22s with a 1.5 inch drop.

Those have got to be the most hideous wheels I've ever seen on a 'Stang. They should be on some SUV with enough bass to shatter glass 3 blocks away.

DINO ONE · 12-09-2004

1" drop and 20's in the front 22's on the rear....

I really don't like the rims either... I am going to stick with my 17" rims but wanted to order some lowering springs, just not sure how low I should make it. maybe 2 inch

TCB8001 · 01-10-2005

17" rims are the best aftermarket for price- maybe 18"- because they won't mess with the calibration of your guages 1" to 1.5" is a good lowering, so you can still clear some things but the car does look a little too high for my eyes
