If it is a daily driver, like mine, I like mods that enhance power, but preserve driveability. Apearance mods are soo subjective, that they are problematic at best. Bigger wheels and tires? If they fit in the wheelwells and don't cause handling problems issues, but improve handling or traction, definately. Fake hoodscoops are lame, unless they are for engine fit. Louvers? personally have seen very few I like. The last good rear window louvers were on the 1969 and 1970 model year mustangs.

2015 Mustang Ecoboost with performance package
Don't care for fake body parts/ brake calipers painted different colors especially red ones/ the fender decal two strips deal/ loud exhaust on the ecoboost sorry can't make a 4 cylinder sound good/ A car fixed up to look like a autocross/track car and its ever been on a track, you can always tell who they are because they auto manufacturers decals everywhere, body, under hood, windshield and a big number on both door/, way too much chrome and fake carbon fiber under the hood and interior with those fuzzy covers that you install on the seat belts/ a overly large wing or spoiler, don't get me wrong I like smaller spoilers/ adding white letters on tires/ sitting way to low with the tires sticking past fender with tires tilted out at bottom. For my Mustang ecoboost PP I have a small lip spoiler, the interior I have a large shifter knob for performance, have stock air box with after market air cleaner with a AIRAID tube and yes I put airaid decal on the tube , oil separator, updated low pressure fuel switch, strut brace, for eye candy a chrome hood support, for the exhaust a y pipe with stock mufflers and chrome tips, tires running 275/40/19 all seasons tire because I like a little more rubber between me and the road and last jack rails I'm done with this except some suspension mods, i'm not going to any performance turning because do not want join the ecoboost club.
I starter this post with Don't care for, don't want anyone to flipping out it's just he taste of a 72 old hot rodder

We need to discuss what we would do;

For me, it's plush & luxurious, deep-pile floor mats from Lloyds.

And hopefully soon some PPF.

Over 50 here and mods I would not do?
Anything that would put my factory warranty in jeopordy. Because you know I paid for that, and have a retirement account to pad.

That looks good. You're sitting pretty flush from what I can see. Does it rub?

I'd say no to bolt on widebody kits, at any age. Never has a bolt on kit made a car look better. If you cannot afford, or cannot perform the necessary metal work, fabrication, paint to do it right. Just don't.

Might be a Mustang under there if Ellie Mae has anything to do with it.

There is one mod I am considering and that is to have all of the black trim pieces painted to match my white body color.... the Mustang's, not mine.

If he did it himself, he needs to have his modifier cut off; if someone did it for him, they need o have a conscience installed.

I'm 62 and can't handle stanced cars or big wings if not tracked. Really obnoxious exhaust. Badging = false advertising.Here is 'stanced and my cars 'poke'.
