CO Daily Driver Build

[dtxstang]

Whatup everyone, thought I'd share details about my build as it goes along. Not planning anything too crazy, as my goal is to build a comfortable, fun, and good looking daily driver that will see relatively high miles. I got her around New Years, and she has close to 5k on the odo so far. No complaints, besides the brake squeal. I'm planning on taking it slow with the mods, but I'll keep updating this thread as I complete them.

I don't have great pics, but I'll try to take better ones on a nicer day and post them up!

What she has on her so far:
-GT PP Wheels/Tires (temp till I get a real setup)
-Both K Braces that come with the PP
-Clutch assist spring delete
-Llumar Ceramic Tint (35% on sides, 15% on rear)
-Diode Dynamics Interior LEDs
-DD Switchback turnsignals
-Plastidipped all exterior badges (love it on the GT and pony, not so much on the 5.0s, will eventually replace with black painted 5.0s)
-Big Worm Film on all exterior lenses ("Tint" on headlights and Taillights, "Gunsmoke" on everything else)
-Sto n Sho license plate holder
-Zombie's 5.0 and Pony Projection stickers in blue

Purchased, but not yet installed:
-Anchor Room corner tint (not sure if this will work on top of the existing film on the headlights)

Future Plans:
-Catback exhaust (probably MRT, but want to hear it in person before purchasing)
-Possibly Headers
-Steeda Stage 2 handling pack (or the Eibach equivalent)
-Intake + Tune (haven't decided which yet)
-Wheels and tires
-Spoiler (might do one of the GT350 spoilers, or something aftermarket)
-Roush Hood Vents
-DD Reverse Light
-Powdercoated blue brake calipers, strut tower brace, and engine cover (hoping the subtle blue accents will work well with the orange)

Still Considering:
-Black hood stripe, roof, vents, mirrors, spoiler
-GT350 or similar stripes
-Rear axle ratio swap

Some iPhone pics in crappy weather, with one on the day I got her:

Sto n Sho install was super easy, highly recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to ruin their front bumper with holes. I plan on putting the plate on for long drives, but leaving it in the trunk when I'm within the city.

Would also recommend Dr. Colorchip. Its a tedious process, but it's done a better job of covering up a few rock chips than touch up paint would, in my amateur hands at least.

Good luck. Same color for me and my MRT exhaust should be here this week, slightly tempted to return it for an ARH H-pipe pending more videos. The MRT will make me happy without a doubt but from what little I've heard I may prefer the ARH more.

Whichever one you get it would be awesome if you posted a video and your impressions!

 

[ssyellow]

Definitely will, I know how it is trying to search for an exhaust with limited video clips to judge from.

Man, what you've done so far is awesome! Even the subtle changes really stand out.

 

[dtxstang]

Preciate it man!

Looks really good so far.

Installed DD Switchbacks

Great product.

Great looking car. How do you like the 15% tint in rear? Thinking of getting exact same tint on mine when it comes in.

Thanks man, I really like it looks good and isn't too hard to see out of. Since I tinted my reverse lamp I upgraded the bulb and now visibility is great again.
