Sleeper or advertise what you got?
Short of a little more fine tuning, I'm pretty much at the end of the road on my car. It started life as a 2000 mustang GT, but now has a built 4v with a Turbo pushing over 500rwhp/rwtq. I've got the itch to mess with something on it and was thinking about changing the badges.
You can see pics here: http://www.mymustangsite.com/Jonny00GT/gallery/2/ The only change is the rims are chrome and no spoiler as far as the outside goes. Walking by in a parking lot you may think it's just a V6 if you don't know mustangs. So...I'm trying to decide, do I let people know what I have: http://www.protegegarage.com/images/...mazdaspeed.jpg and http://dynamicracingproducts.com/Aut...8%20EMBLEM.BMP something similar Or just leave well enough alone?? -Jonny

Honestly, I love them! I have a 2yr old and putting the door up makes it sooo much easier to get him in the car seat in the back! It also makes life easier when someone parks a little too close! -Jonny

I say leave the V6 badges, I dont like the strips on the door and side. Loose the lambos, and buy a set of 01-04 headlights. Loose the spoiler. I have a really clean red one if you are interested.

No the spoiler, you did you plug it? I just went to autozone and bought automotive plugs, and put the in and then shot a little silicone in the holes from the bottom side. The 01-04 stock headlights are sex.

I had the spoiler moved back and 12 plugs would just be too much, I think. I'm gonna fill the holes and get it painted.

Always! Did you paint the top of the plugs to match your car? That might not look bad...

I used touch up paint and you could barely tell they were there. It didnt leak either. I say get a set of 01-04 headlights, they will look great and keep the stock look. It will also make it look like a newer V6.

Ever have a stranger walk up and take a picture of your car while you're getting gas? Shit happens to me all the time. They also stop in the middle of the road and ask me to open the door again, ask where they can get it done and I've had a few old guys gush about my car and spend 30min telling me about thier first muscle car back in the 50s and 60s...clearly YOUR opinion is not the only one out there! Thanks for the comment, Sport!

If you are going sleep that hood looks fine. I personally like that hood with the scoop, but if you are seeking sleeper, thats a good hood for sleeper. If you could tone the exhaust down, now that would be a good way of getting people to race you.

Second, don't post comments like,"Take that shit off." or call a total stranger's ride a "Pile". You sound like a prick and I have no interest in anything you have to say! I don't know you and all I can tell from your post is you run your mouth and you have a car that rolled off the assembly line sorta near the front...NICE! Everything done to my car was done by me. It's my car, the way I wanted it. Yeah...I like the doors! Reap it! I started a simple thread...BADGES!!! Which ones do you like? Which ones don't you like? If you don't want to talk about badges, post pics of your ride, graphics, scoops, hoods, deck lids, louvers or other "Exterior Effects evident while driving down the road" then please move on! I'm not changing the doors so get off my dick! -Jonny

Got any words of wisdom in relation to what this thread is actually about or are you the Daddy of the 2 Youngens that felt the need to "witness to me" on the evils of my door hing choice?? Let me clue ya'll in on something you seem to have missed...There are some Hispanic guys who like trucks with lots of chrome, close to the ground with small tires that have their names on the back. There are some country boys that like small trucks jacked way up in the air when they don't ever get off the fuckin high way. There are guys who like to do 160 on 2 wheels with their hair on fire while dragging a knee across 3 lanes of traffic before riding on one wheel for a mile and a half. There are kids in WRX all wheel drives that will spank the shit out of 90% of the "Muscle Cars" on this forum. There are also "True Muscle Car" guys who think anything after 1975 is trash, Pontiac guys who think anything less than 6liters is a joke and guys who like 4 door cars with colorful paint jobs jacked 3 feet off the ground rolling on 24s. They all think their ride is cool. My question is, what the fuck is wrong with you people that think you're right and they are wrong?? ![]() I'm just sayin! -Jonny PS: I'm leaving the badges I have already on the car. Suck my thread, Toolbags!

Ok, enough about the doors.
The real question is... If we put your car on a treadmill with the doors in the "look at me" position, would it fly? Discuss. |

I think they would be better suited for a "Deploy Flaps" sorta slow down in lu of a parachute at the end of the 1/4 mile!

"look at me"??? That's your complaint??? So you must have looked at muscle cars and exotics cause they blend in and look like everyone elses ride?? Since you speak for 98% of the members here(Bwaaaahahahaha), would you please ask them how many of them bought a mustang, put rims on it, lowered it, painted or put loud systems or exhaust on it so that it would blend in and go unnoticed? You feel it necesary to put '97 Cobra #1023 in your sig...screams "look at me" near as I can tell. Do you EVEN know why you're on here? You haven't added one thing of value to my thread so far! Name calling, inflated self-important opinion and outlandish claims to speak for for board...be gone! Come back when you can speak like a grown up! -Jonny

while the doors arent my cup of tea, in fact i would classify them as a nightmare i guess as long as you like it and i dont have to drive it do whatever you want.
ps. i am sure my car couldnt catch up with yours for me to tell you about your door anyway. god bless. |

Honestly, I thought the execution of the doors was a fascinating project. I realize it's not for everyone, but who wants a car just like everyone elses? There are sooooo many mustangs out there!!! Too, the doors really do make it easier to get the kids in and out of the car, especially if someone parks a little close. Hell, I hurt my back about a year ago and those doors were a life saver! I could turn around, sit down and then swivel into the seat rather than that one legged limbo dance we've all had to do when someone parks a little close! Much worse in cars with longer doors like the T/A my Ex use to drive! -Jonny

I personally like the sleeper look .. Not a fan of the "Halo" headlights or the stripes on the side ..
and "lambo doors " I Laugh at that since Lambo doors open like this .. ![]() so doesnt that mean All cars have "Lambo doors" now But its your car do what you want .. I would paint the plugs before I spent 400+ getting the trunk filled and painted.. and Badge less would be my choice...
