Default Finally popped my mod cherry...what do you guys think?

I just finished mounting my rotors, pads and calipers. I rattled canned a set of 17" Anthracite Bullitts I bought a few months ago and used the G2 caliper paint kit on my calipers. I finally popped my mod cherry!!! I mean I added sequentials and a DVD/NAV unit...but those don't count. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the kind words. I haven't really done anything to the interior other than installing a DVD/Nav unit. After looking around on this forun I'm ordering some Welt next week to dress it up a little. I ordered some black running pony caliper decals and they got here yesterday...they'll be going on when I put the welt in. I'm going to focus on my exterior and engine for the first part of next year...interior to follow. You have quite a nice 'stang yourself.

thanks, no mods yet though
i wanna see how the dvd/nav looks. i find the interior kinda plain..im thinkin of gettin carbon fiber panel covers and adding a bit of chrome on the shifter bezel, shifter ends and the parking brake handle. then comes the aftermarket stereo/dvd system.

what brand dvd head unit did u get?

Great job on the paint. What kind of pads are you useing with your rotors. I,m using ceramics and I get a squeak after about half pad life that just drives me nuts. Luckily thay come with a two year warrenty so once a year I'm doing pads

I hear you about the interior. I think dressing it up with white welt will add a decent spark..until I add in some nice billet accents. The deck I got is by Pioneer. It's a AVIC-F90BT. It's based on Windows CE...it has some nice hacks out there for it. Check out avic411.com

tell me about it. Although this is the first mod I finished. I have my summer rims I bought this summer and didn't buy tires lol...I have the amp I'm using to run my entire system(Rockford Fosgate "25 to Life" Power1000 5ch) and I have a prepainted Roush spoiler in my garage that has yet to go on.....I've been eyeing stuff for a long time...hopefully in 2010 I'll finally manage to get my GT500 conversion done....my list has done nothing but grow since I started joining mustang forums...DAMN THE INTERNET!!! lol

If it did then it would always be empty lol...I'm just waiting for the first couple months of 2010 when uncle sammy gives me my taxes back and I get my end of fiscal year bonus....happy days ahead!!

Until I get some other striping to replace it I think I'm leaving it...keeps the whole black/white thing together.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm using a set of Hawk HPS pads right now. They are supposed to be low dust. So far I haven't seen much, but it's only been a couple of days. I thought ceramics weren't recommended for our cars?
