This is my 1988 Thunderbird EFI 3.8L(232) 140HP V6

UPDATES
Added a Streetglow Blue series neon blue undercar light kit ($130) as well as two ten inch neons ($20 each) under each side of the dash and 20 inch neon ($22) in the trunk. All looks nice.

This T-Bird is a hand me down from a friend of the family(original owner), when my previous car an '87 Olds Calais 3.0 V6, axle broke. This car was originally white, and in need of some TLC. Slowly but surely I have been changing and upgrading things as much as possible. Physically the car didn't look the best but engine wise the car was great, had been taken care of and only 100,000 miles for a 14 year old car. Had premium sound system, power locks, power windows, power seat, LCD Speedometer, automatic headlights with automatic dim.

Just recently upgraded my wheels and tires with some 17 inch SVT Cobra R rims wrapped with some Kumho Escta 712 245/45/17's ($1265). The brake rotors and caliper are painted to match the car's exterior.

Some more pics of my car with the metallic blue urathane paint the same exact color as my 1st car an 87 Olds Calais 3.0L V6.

I replaced the stock stereo with a new Rockford Fosgate RFX-9000 MP3/CD($320) player that works great. The stock stereo just had to go, it ate all the tapes that you stuck in it. But in upgrading the stereo the whole stereo had to be rewired and the OE amp removed.

This is the second installation in my car, first one blew. Right now I have two Infinity 1220W 12 inch Reference subs being powered by a JBL BP600.1 when really puts out alot of clean power, especially for the price of 200 dollars. The system really hits loud and and usually winds up setting car alarms off, something I think is fun to do. This is my amps and my Rockford Fosgate digital 1.0 farad cap ($130) on a amp rack but have my sub box in the way so I couldn't get a really clear picture without removing my box. You can barely see the stinger wiring ($70) and the stinger distribution block.

The engine has some lil blue detailing using some engine paint replacing some of the faded yellow on the engine labeling it 3.8L. There is some other lil painting that i've down like the vents painting them chrome to give them a nice shine and you can see my sting amp fuse holder
