Default 2005 Mustang Engine and Visual Upgrades?

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

Default Thanks

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.

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?

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.

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

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
