I just got my JLT rai put on tonight. The install wasn't terrible but did have to wrestle it some to get it where I wanted it (still not perfect, but oh well)...I went ahead and ordered an o/r h tonight and next week I'm doing springs and c/c's once I get paid for coaching, I might do a tuner around that time too if the money works out! But I just thought I'd let you all know that the mod bug is biting my ass like none other, but it's worth it :banana:
Being eaten alive by the mod bug...

- Start date
lol, welcome to the club
Hahahah have fun brotha
Thank god i'm done......unless i'll need to rebuild the motor.
I want to mod but got no money
It's okay, I'm in the same boat. I need my front bumper painted, new chin spoiler, smoked headlights, a couple mgw interior pieces, mgw sts, and some tires for the black Saleens that have been sitting in my room for almost a year now. Not to mention I really want to replace my cats with straight pipe. Plus I want to get my hood painted black where it starts to raise up. It sucks having so many wants with so little cash. haha
I installed my JLT 2 nights ago and yeah it was a pain in the ass, but worth it !
It's only just begun. I'm slowly getting things when I get extra cash.
It should be called a damn flesh eating virus, not a bug. All I have to say is be careful on what you mod.
it was a huge pain...but is a very nice setup!
same here lol
hahaha...no shit, I'm just doing the basics now, I'm ordering springs and probably a tuner next week and then I'll be done for a little bit

haha I got the bug the second I saw the car, even before I bought it lol. I'm buying the rest of my exhaust (mac longtubes, and o/r prochamber), a shaker air diverter, 3/8 intake spacer, dyno tuning it, and repsraying my front and rear bumper all this week. Then by October I plan on buying 2-17" black saleen rims, and 2-18" black saleen rims with 2-275/35 nittos. To think if I actually saved this money... I would probably be able to buy a c6 z06 by chirstmas lol.

being eaten alive by the mod bug...heheh you aren't even ankle deep...wait until you dive in like an asshole.
Haha...Oh I've done this all before, I'm on my 3rd mustang...I'm just starting from scratch now! I'm not bitching, I love it :rockon:
i need a JLT oil separator next ugh i already know im going to end up spending over $6000 in mods sooner or later
Haha I was the opposite, I came from a 2000 V6, and was perfectly happy as she sat! I felt like there was no need for it to be any faster or look any different as it looks perfect and comes with good looking wheels stock!
Now it's bolted/geared with some black Saleens awaiting tires.
It's at the point now where if I can't do anything to it soon, I'll be fine because all the main things have been taken care of, springs/exhaust/gears. Looks good/sounds good/and fun to drive! Before I was going crazy trying to get all those mods.
it makes me sick to think of the money i spent on my lightning.. then it was a slap in the face when i sold it. ill try and not to go that crazy again. but i cant say it wasnt fun. I will tell you this i would do as much as i could with the mods.. the only thing i didnt do was the tune really.
