Well this is just my temporary first site right now i have to take some daytime pictures of the car with the new wheels on it. It started out looking like this

The first mod done to it was Cold Air Intake which had to have added 400RWHP at least

Next was Flowmaster American Thunder catback with 2 chamber mufflers. That was probably the biggest PITA to install ever because the stock mufflers were welded to the h-pipe so i had to go buy a dremel and spent about 2 days dremeling and angle grinding that off. After i got that all done i found out the drivers side tailpipe was rubbing on the brake line and the passenger side tailpipe barely fit in the provided space so i brought it into a shop and paid $10 to get that all fixed, it sounds a ton better than stock though, and with the planned LT headers and O/R midpipe it should sound even better.

My final mod for right now is 17" Machined Aluminum 2003 Cobra wheels and tires. Much better looking than the 15" AR wheels that were on there before, now i just gotta clean those up and sell them. Heres an after picture

After the wheels were mounted I found out my front right strut was broken so i couldn't get an alignment. I scrapped some money together and bought a FRPP Handling Kit. Tried to do the install at home but we didn't have the necessary tools for the job and the rust from 10 years in Minnesota had taken it's toll on the car. Had a local mechanic do the work, he did a GREAT job, and it only cost $160 for the labor. He also found that my rear left spring was snapped too. This install marks the end of my 2005 year of work on the Stang. I think the progess is decent!

Final pics after new suspension install and comparison to begining.
