JOE'S GT

[Joelang33]

Mustang6g,

Hello everyone! After owning the Mustang for over two years and loving absolutely every second of it, I figured I would document my journey with the S550 and finally becoming a part of this wonderful Mustang community.

First and foremost, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into at first :lol: My passion for cars started a long time ago, and very quickly I became obsessed with the car scene, modding, meets, shows, etc. It has always been one of my hobbies and getting the Mustang has only made this passion grow. My first serious vehicle i got my hands on was my senior year of high school, when i saved enough to purchase a 2003 Volkswagen GTI, Anniversary Edition. It was here i fell in love with the "car community" and started to figure out what it was all about. I did all the things a normal teenager would to to their ride... straight piped exhaust, murdered out, crazy loud sound system, and it quickly became my baby. I put every penny i had into it, and loved every bit of it. This was my daily driver for all of my college years. :love:

Fast forward 4 years to my senior year of college. It was time to start thinking about getting a new car, as the GTI was starting to get pretty worn. with 145,000 miles on her, i was hoping to get myself into a new ride as a graduation present to myself Having already landed a job before graduation... it was finally time. I knew i would be able to get into something pretty nice knowing i would have a steady income ahead of me.

After tons of research, I had a few choices on my next ride. I was leaning towards an STI/EVO X. Being located in Pittsburgh, PA, the weather absolutely sucks here. I needed something i could drive in the snow. I hate to admit it but i was a tuner guy Growing up watching the Fast and Furious series had me thinking i was the next Paul Walker in some kind of import lol! And then it happened.....Ford released the images of the new S550, and I fell in love! So i scheduled a test drive at my local ford dealer, and never looked back. Hearing the roar of the Coyote V8 and feeling that torque as i stomped the throttle, i had never experienced anything like it.

Without any hesitation, i was ready to place my order. I wanted a specific spec, and the dealer had filled me in that there would be no extra charge for a "custom order." This was a pleasant surprise as i decided to wait it out for the exact look i was after. Being one of the first ones to get the car when it released in 2015... there weren't many out there to choose from.

First mod complete, had the side and rear windows tinted at 18% all around. I will forever tint my vehicles no matter what the law states :lol:

Black 5.0 badges installed. Really shooting for this stormtrooper look. I ended up going with ebay ones as the quality was the same and the price was much cheaper. Worth it!

Went on a joyride with my Uncle and his Boss 302. His car was one of my original inspirations of purchasing this vehicle. As stated earlier, I was big into Euro and Tuner cars, but never really stepped foot into the muscle car scene. After he took me for a ride in his Boss, its safe to say I was addicted to the sounds and feels of an American muscle car. :ford:

The mod fever was hitting me hard, and it became too much to hold back. I always loved the look of a black roof on Mercedes and other types of vehicles that came like this from the factory, as well as seeing a lot of other S550 owners doing the same thing. So I decided to get my roof vinyl wrapped in gloss black. Couldn't be happier with the results!

couple more shots of the roof wrap, really starting to enjoy this car. None of my friends can even believe its mine :lol:

Her first photoshoot :coolphotos: with something other than an iPhone lol.

sadly because of Mustang6g size limits I had to size down the photos and I kinda lost quality :(

Nice. I've always liked white cars too although I own a black. I think a black lip spoiler would make the back look nicer IMO.

The PP cars look naked without it.

after like 3 months, my factory Pirelli P-zeros were toast :doh: Not sure what Ford was thinking putting such a sh*t tire on this amazing car. I was shocked that they only lasted that long, then again it was my first three months going back to RWD and the most HP I've had in one of my cars yet. I got a good deal on tirerack and got myself a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS A/S. pretty good tire for the money, and the performance aspect of these was not even comparable to the stock tires. Big improvement and I was happy with my purchase
