Here are just a few pics of my 2003 Mercury Marauder, I picked it up in September of 07 so I have done a few things so far. It was completely stock when I purchased it. Im planning on Supercharging the car next year so I purchased some mods that will help towards that cause.

Off the car dolley's and out to play :)  Nice and low

Here is a picture of my stock wheels on the car, for stock they are one of the nicest I have seen.

The first few things I did to my Marauder was 4% limo tint all around and Chrome TSW Nogaro's with Nitto 555's. The front wheels are 20X8.5 with 255/35/20's and the rear are 20X10 with 285/30/20's. These pics were taken before the car was lowered

A electric water pump and Steeda Underdrives were installed and a PHP Intake spacer

The stock exhaust was ditched for Kooks long tubes, X-pipe and Magnaflow mufflers with 2.5" Stainless over the axle pipes to 4" tips. A deeper tranny pan was also installed for extra fluid capacity and better cooling.

All of the parts installed on the engine finally, added a Optima Yellow Top with a aluminum bracket.  I had to modify the original battery tray to make it work but it saved a lot of fab time to make something else up.

All the shocks around the car were replaced from Monroe with Severe Service up front, the car was also lowered about 1" up front and 3/4" in the rear. Addco front and rear sway bars were installed as well to firm up the ride a bit.

To help the car get moving a little quicker 4.10 gears were installed with 31 spline axles and a FRPP Trac-loc. A Trick Flow diff cover was installed as well.

I really like the look of blacked out cars so I put 3 coats of nite shades and 3 coats of clear on the taillights. I really like the way it turned out but most people think its a little too much... :-) I also got a Bob White decal kit for the Marauder dimples in the rear bumper, they are a reflective black vinyl so it really sticks out at night.
