-The body kit was put on in 07.. but in 08 I changed the front bumper back to stock while modding on the lip to make it one whole peace..
-I repainted the car black
-Added 18" rims
-Dropped it 2"
-Had a custom 2.5" exhaust system built
-Added a Carbon Fiber hood
All the work done to this car was done by me... except the custom exhaust work
Unfortionatly I blew the timing built on this car a couple months ago.. so.. The engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced...
I'm taking off the tires and selling it.. for about $700... Anyone interesting, get at me! (there are a few other problems with the car.. but nothing serious other than the blown Timing belt.

my mods list is way to long for '08, now that I bought this new daily driver...im broke, and the economy is in shambles, so '09 does not look promising without the promition i keep being promised, that im not getting...its also a bad time to leave a fairly guaranteed job for what may seem to be a better job with more money.

you can either get a new maf, or there are a few piggy back products made by sct and diablo that will keep the maf from pegging on voltage
got 2 kicker solo baric L5's and 1200 kenwood amp.....man what a shitty year

that sounds like a lot of stuff but i think i got u beat,i finally finished my makeover for my 1968 Galaxie 500 Convertible
finished and dropped in my 533ci stroker Ford Big Block which includes:
4.44 bore
4.3 stroke
Port Matched Trick Flow Street Heads
custom ground 260/269 Solid Roller Cam .650/.651 lift
Trick Flow Pushrods
Miller 1.8 Rockers
Trick Flow Black Powder Coated Valve Covers
Ported Edelbrock Victor Intake
1150 Holley Dominator Carb
12-an Stainless Braided Fuel Line
2" Primary Crites Long Tube Headers
3" Exhaust to Magnaflow Mufflers (also has cutouts)
9" Rearend was done with 31 Spline Moser axles
3.70 Gears
Detroit Locker
Built C6 Tranny
2800 Stall TC.
im sure im forgetting to list some things like my MSD Distributor,wires,6aL box,HP alternator, Electric fan, aluminum radiator,pulleys blah blah blah anyways the combo is proven to make somewhere close to 700HP and close to the same for torque
Basically almost every mod possible as far as the driveline goes. Now i need tires :-D

Yup, 55 lb injectors. Diablo makes a MAFia extender, which does just that, extends the volts of Mass Air. But then I run into the problem of running out of gas, so I really need a boost a pump or dual Ford GT pumps. All this means that the mods I have done are working!!!
BUT, i actually just traded the Mystic Cobra for an 08 Stang GT. Gotta go into save mode, with the suck ass economy we are in now...
