INTRODUCTION
Now that I my Stang has some decent mods on it I figured now is the time to start a build thread. I've loved mustangs forever, just never owned one until now despite a few attempts to get into other generations. I realized now is the time since I saw that MY22 was coming to an end and S650 was near. After seeing the S650 reveal I knew that I didn't want any part in that car so I placed an order for a '23 S550 on day one. The car was built on 12/15/22 and I took delivery on 1/10/23 which is probably one of the first MY23 deliveries.
THE CAR
From the start I knew what I wanted pretty much besides color. I ordered it as a GT premium mt82, 401a with a spoiler delete, active exhaust and security pkg. I ended up going with mischievous purple since it's unique and seems to be pretty rare, on the inside I went with midnight Blue leather and I'm in love with the grabber blue stitching.
THE MODS
I wasted 0 time and got straight to work on the car just a few hours after getting it. The next day it already had new wheels and tires. Before the week was over I painted the calipers, lowered it and made it louder. This car was nothing special in stock form but now it's really enjoyable for me.
Exterior:
Weld Racing Ventura wheels 18x9.5 fronts/17x10 rears
Nitto NT555G2 275/35/28 front
Nitto NT555RII 305/45/17 rear
Ford Performance GT500 Swing
Diode dynamics clear rear sidemarkers
ZL1Addons splitter extension
ZL1Addons rocker GT500 style rocker extensions
G2 Grabber Blue painted calipers with mustang letter stickers
Roush rocker winglets
Suspension:
Steeda Progressive sport lowering springs
Steeda camber plates
Engine:
Steeda resonator delete H pipe
Ford Performance passenger side catch can
Carbon filter delete
K&N drop in filter
Ronin Factory oil drain plug
Miscellaneous:
Ford performance Bullitt shift knob
Steeda clutch spring
Ford performance strut tower brace
I look forward to many years with this car and a lot more fun stuff with it. So far it's a blast to drive around and it's a real change of pace for someone like me who is always driving trucks. The color is just out of this world, glad I took a chance on it. If you want to see my other builds and more of this car definitely check out my IG @blue_flame_raptor
