Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but thats it.. 17x9 pony wheels are in the garage. They just need a thorough cleansing and tires.

Porno red interior FTMFW:banana:

Late model restoration has better prices on the things you listed for mods/upgrades.
Why do you want to convert over to a five lug?

Some things I would do
1.BBK cold air intake FENDER WHEEL MOUNT not the open air cleaner in the engine compartment
2.replace the Coolant Temp sensor and Air Charge Temp sensor
3.new cap,rotor,wires and plugs
4.You could also do long tube headers they cost around $100 for painted and just put header wrap on them.

he wants the better wheel selection with the 5 lug lol. why do you not suggest the open air filter? msd cap and wires along with plugs have been installed along with a 6AL.. and ya i've told him longtubes.. idk why he wants shorties.. makes no sense to me. :shrug:

shes also been lowered.. dont know how much, but it was noticed after purchasing the vehicle.

i believe next on the list are injectors and exhaust. his buddy sold him an open filter CAI for cheap already.

If he already has the cold air kit then just use that,he may be able to get the other piece.I dont like the open air filter in the engine compartment because it sucks in hot air.The long tubes take a little more time with the install than long tubes.Some people dont mind the extra work needed but you also need the o2 extensions and H/X pipe for them.

Its good he moved up from a :poke: 1988 300zx

I remember my first porno red interior stang. I got so much pussy in it lol. for now Id turn the white letters inward. It would make it look alot better. It needs a tint job bad. Looks good though.

For a daily driver? 275 50 16 rear 255 40s will look good on the front. I always liked my kumho tires on my first stang, but with my coupe making close to 400 hp, the only thing that works for me, is Drag radials. I have kumhos on the rear now, and blow the shit out of them. The spin just letting off the clutch. They worked well with my under 300 hp first stang. what I meant was taking the tires off and spinning them around so the white walls didnt show. That screams old man.
