Hi, I'm Tony and this is my new V6 Mercury Cougar. Its a work in progress, feel free to leave me comments and tell me what you think.
the modifications that are on the car. It has:
- Wings west sideskirts
-Wings West back bumper
-AIT Racing front bumper
- B&M short throw shifter
-air intake
-Borla exhaust
-Konig 16 inch rims
Stock this car comes with a 2.5 L engine with 170 HP, with the catback borla exhaust and the air intake im estimating that my car has somewhere in the 180 HP range. I have not had it dynoed so I'm not positive.
The exterior consists of a AIT Racing front Bumper, Wings West sideskirts and rear bumper, 16 inch Konig rims, Borla catback dual exhaust, and mitsubishi eclipse rear spoiler. The body kit has a little bit of stress cracks and has the average nicks and scratches. how ever the body is in great condition.
(my car with a little photoshoping of the background. It's a little bit sketchy but hey I'm a beginner)
Front and back view, I'm not a huge fan of the stripes but they dont look to bad. Eventually I'm going to have the whole car repainted. I'm probably going to go with a darker blue. I haven't decided on the exact color yet. Also, the first picture shows the Duraflex front bumper that use to be on the car.
Wings West side skirts and rear bumper.
This spoiler is off of a Mitsubishi Eclipse. I think it works well with this car, how ever I'm not a big fan of bigger spoilers. I haven't made up my mind if im going to keep this spoiler or if I'm going to get a smaller one. The secong picture is of the Borla muffler tip. It is a cat-back exhaust. It sounds very clean and aggressive. I love it.
These are the 16 inch Konig rims. Eventually I want to get bigger rims. For know they will do
These are some pictures of the engine bay. The motor, as I said before, is a 2.5L v6. This motor has about 170 HP stock. I have a K&N short air intake.
I recently painted a couple parts under the hood. The parts include: the plastic cover that reads duratec 2.5L v6, the fuse box cover, hood prop, and battery holder. It turned out well I think.
First, I would like to apologize for how dirty the interior is. I didn't vaccum the interior when I took these. Anyways, these are just pictures of the B&M short throw shifter, and the JVC head unit. I also have Cerwin-Vega interior speakers. I highly recommend them if you are looking for new interior speakers. They are extremely clean sounding and the bass is not distorted.
This is my retractible license plate holder. This way i can have a front license plate (stupid law), and still be able to hide it if i want to go to show or something. I mean, who wants to see an ugly license plate anyway right?
Here is a quick drawing i did. It's the rear end of my Cougar. It's hard to make out sense its a rough sketch and it is in black and white. My idea is to replace the rear hatch with a VIS carbon fiber hatch. I also want to repaint the whole car with a real deep blue. Also, for the roof of the car I want painted black. I just started a drawing from the front view. I also want to replace my hood for a carbon fiber hood. The plan is paint the roof black to make the carbon fiber flow. Let me know what you think. Let me know if you like the idea or the drawing. Thanks
Messing with photoshop again.
So I got in a small accident and ended up cracking the front bumper. So I ended up ordering the bumper below to replace me front bumper. I figure this will be way less work and alot less time consuming
Bumper set on the car (to the left). Bumper painted and ready for install (to the right)
AIT Racing decal on the inside of the bumper.
With no bumper waiting for the bumper to go on.
With the hide away license plate out. (the left) With the hide away license plate hidden. (the right)
This is the bumper I bought. I think it looks better then the one that I had on it before. Its an AIT racing front bumper. I did not add the stripes on the front bumper because eventually i will be painting the whole car so no reason to waste the extra money
Priming the mesh which was later painted black. The shiny silver color just looked goudy and ugly.
I also ordered a benen front tow hook. This will protect my bumper if I ever have to have it towed. Plus it looks cool haha. I will be installing it as soon as possible keep checking back for updates. Thanks for checking my cougar out everyone!
