new here - my first mustang gts

so im new here. i looked for a newb section but did not see one. ive stopped by the site a couple times over the years but never felt any need to sign up. im originally from xceedspeed and have been a member there for many years. my first car was a 92 pontiac firebird that was red with the 305, tho it was actually my parents. i consider it to be my first being that i was really the only one that drove it for 3 years. it was a nice clean car. my first real car was just a 96 grand am with the 2.4... yea ill never own one of those again. since then ive had many many different hondas. being why ive been on xceed, not here.

anyways, i sold my last civic about a week ago now. the plan was to just get something with 4x4, untill this came along. its a 95 mustang gts, 5 speed manual in excellent shape. my girls mother has had this car since 96. she baught it with around 30k on it. she was the second owner. ive been with my girl for about 5 years now and i offered to buy it from her mom a couple years back, however she would not sell. finally she decided to go out and buy a new car and offered this to me for first dibs. she told me she was in no hurry to sell it and would hold it for me, which she did. being driven by an older/mid age women and never ever beaten on is a thumbs up. finally i sold my civic and went and picked it up the same day. i gave it a good wash today and i am amazed how clean it is. i could not even find 1 ding. all i could find is a couple small rock chips. just after i washed it i pulled off at a grocery store which the only place around with an empty parking lot to take some pics for the first time. the car is still wet in the pics, which is what that streaking is on the sides. let me know what you guys think.

Welcome to the site and congrats on the Stang. There are a lot of us stangers here.

Lose the tailights and you've got a nice looking car.
 
thanks guys. i still have yet to get the stock taillights and headlights. my girls mom put the clears on a couple years ago and has them sitting in her storage. however ill be getting them soon enough. soon as i do, they will be swapped back on.
 
since ive got it i have been doing alot of research and looking around at wheels, suspension, exhaust and other things i can do to get some more ponys. i dont know much at all about these cars being this is my first one, but i do have general knowlegde. mainly what ive been look at first is wheels, suspension and exhaust. far as wheels i really like the fr500's, but everyone tells me that there played out and not to get them. some think they look great, as do i. opinions?

they look to be 17's, maybe 18s on the back.. i dont know. im not sure if id want to go with 18's or not. i kinda like the deep dish in the back.

welcome. ditch the tails and you'll have a really nice ride. I love that car that you just posted too.
 
I LOVE the GTS as I have one (or two). I like the look the way Ford intended, CHEAP, which means stock lights and no spoiler. And I love a car with crank windows. LOL

Good score!:1syellow1
 
lol, yea. thanks man. mine did come with the cobra spoiler tho. i believe it was all an option for them.
 
Welcome. I was going to put some FR500s on my Cobra, but never got around to it. I think they look great on SN95s though. American Muscle has killer deals on FR500s, and FREE shipping. I ordered mine there and had them in 2 days.

Car looks nice. I'd gear it, headers, x pipe, catback, and rock it out.

Oh, and for sure burn those headlights and tail lights!
 
thanks for the input! exactly what i was looking to hear. yea, ive mostly been looking on american muscle.. seems to be a good site for some goodies. what should i put in it for a gear? mostly the car will be for street fun, but will take it to the 1/4 every once in a while.
 
clean car. and i also agree, loose those tail lamps. go with factory tails and make sure the color matches the car..

welcome :handshake:
 
cool, thanks for the info.

and again yes, the tails will be gone. i dont like them anymore then anyone else. i expected alot of comments on them tho.
