Default exterior improvements for my 07

I just wanna get some ideas on what some good exterior improvements for my car are. I have the chrome trim with the sequential tails lights, but I'd like to do a few more things. Rims might be too expensive right now so I'm not sure about that. I have the mustang spinners right now. Any pics or videos of peoples s197s would be very much appreciated.

Could you post a larger pic of your car? From what I see in the avatar I would maybe replace the grill. Personally I like the Shelby style grill. You know the horizontal lines with the logo in the bottom right corner.

Something like this

When you make a post there is a manage attachements button at the buttom. Also you can upload it into your profile gallery.


On a side note, I would recommend sway bars. You don't have the pony package right?

No the sway bars would not be seen unless you really tried to find them but they will improve your handling.

I just put a new grill in mine and man does it look great. It only cost me $109.00 with fre shipping. Found it on ebay. I have also added a hood stripe kit and a tail stripe kit like on the 1970 mach I's. I also put a nice chrome gas cap which looks really nice. All things you can do yourself.

Good Luck

No I think he ment the 1970 retro look. That is a look you can go with. With the s197 body style it is pretty easy.

Also you can put in a eleanor grill or the Pony package grill. Personally, I like the way my stang looks with the grill. More than the GT grill.

You mean the stock V6 grill right? I am not a fan of the chrome or stainless steel grills.

You could also put these on
2005+ Mustang Painted Mirror Covers - Vapor Silver at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
(I think that is your color)

But personally, I wouldn't unless you got nothing else to spend 80 buck on.


You can also put in a shorty antenna if the lighting pole bothers you
Mustang Shorty Antenna at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

I might do that one day. Right now I got more pressing things to buy.

You can also do vynil stripes.

I would replace the muffler though. I will have GT take-off muffler on mine.
