Project Red Cobra (2017 Mustang GT)

[RedCobra1246]

Hey ladies and gents,

I'm new to this site and relatively new to cars in general, but I've bought a 2016 Ecoboost that got me into muscle cars and decided to trade it in for my current 2017 Mustang GT.
My GT is manual, it has the performance package, but it doesn't have the premium package (regret it in some way, but I didn't want to spend that much...)

Being still new to cars, I need some opinions, especially, but not necessarily, by experts. I have a ton of mods planned and a few already installed. I want to make sure everything is compatible so I don't have to buy things twice (technically I already did lol)...

I currently have...

1. Airlift Performance 3H Air Suspension (height based)
2. Carbon Fiber vinyl vents decals
3. Raxiom vents red turn signals
5. Black 5.0 emblems swap (except back...I probably should though...)
6. Cervini Pedestral wing
7. Complete front fascia replacement (AC GT350 style)
8. Front fenders replacements (also GT350 style)
9. Gloss black racing stripes through the middle with red pinstripes and same for the front fenders
10. Racechip Response Control
11. Sides and back window tint
12. Trufiber carbon fiber mirror covers
13. Trufiber carbon fiber mirror triangle
14. Eibach front and rear sway bars
...and I think that's it for now lol I will give more details if people are interested I also need to fix some things up...like perfecting some lines I don't like...

Here is what I have planned (a lot):

Mod 1:
Carbon Fiber hood vents (maybe get it black rather than cf)
GT350R style steering wheel
Mod 2:
MMD Start button cover
Alcantara interior kit
Some kind of shift knob with black background and red markings
Mod 3:
GT350 style rear diffuser
Roush quad tip active exhaust
Mod 4:
55mm Hellion Twin Turbo (looking for a 550hp tune at first)
MMD black hood strut
Mod 5:
Reische Performance Thermostat
Davies Craig Electric water pump
Davies Craig Electric water pump header adapter
Davies Craig Electric water pump digital controller
Mishimoto Liquid Chill Performance Coolant
Royal Purple Purple Ice' Super Coolant
Mod 6:
Clutch that can handle at least 900hp...suggestions?
Mod 7:
Steeda Shifter Bushing
Steeda Tri-ax Race Short Throw Shifter
Mod 8:
Right side 1400hp halfshaft
Left side 1400hp halfshaft
Mod 9:
The Driveshaft Shop One Piece Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
Mod 10:
Comp Cams CR Series Camshafts
Wheels + tires
Staggered Forgestar CF10 Piano Black 20x9 and 20x11
Mod 11:
Brembo GT 6-piston front brake red kit
Mod 12:
Brembo GT 4-piston rear brake red kit
Mod 13:
Injector Dynamics 127lb injectors
Mod 14:
Raxiom JL Audio Base Stereo Upgrade
Mod 15:
Rear seat delete kit
Mod 16 (this section is the "not so sure" part):
MMD Carbon fiber fuel door
CDC Sequential Turn signal (premium?)
LED strip for bottom of the car
Mod 17 (also not sure):
Trufiber carbon fiber dash kit (premium?)
Sticker carbon fiber dash kit for remaining
Trufiber carbon fiber coin tray
Trufiber carbon fiber window switch covers
Mod 18 (also not sure):
Raxiom LED footwell red lightning
Raxiom Interior Stage 2
Mod 19:
Raxiom switchback turn signal

Other 2 mods I was considering is the Diode Dynamics headlights multicolor LED boards and the 4th brake light conversion kit.

I may remove some of these (especially LED lights), we'll see. I have most links from AM just to make it easy. I was wondering if anybody can see any conflicts in these mods.

As mentioned, I'm still a newbie (to both cars and this site), so any information/feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

Haha I'm not necessarily buying all these from them, but I use their site as a baseline because it has so much stuff.
Thanks! It seems like I have a thing for 10 spokes piano black wheels lol but I'll check those out! I'm mostly just taking what I like from the GT350.

Thanks! Unfortunately it will be some time before the next mods, but it's going to get real

Thank you! I was worried about the stripes, so I recreated the car in a video game to see how it'd look LOL Satisfied with the results!


A little picture below to show the new louvers ;)

Lads!

A quick update on the Project Red Cobra!
I removed the MMD rear louver as I thought it was begging for attention and also the Cervini's quarter window louvers as I never really loved them.
I also installed some pretty neat Eibach front and rear sway bars! The car feels more stable now and begs for turns
Finally, I decided that when I will get my car boosted, it will be a mild twin turbo tune rather than a supercharger (something between 500 and 550hp). Twin turbo will allow me to eventually change intake manifold for some crazy power, doesn't activate all the time (only at higher rpm. Good for daily driver), and getting the 55mm turbos, the spool should be rather quick!
I'm going to try to go for a cleaner build rather than the crazy spikes I was planning to do lol I also started posting pics of the car on Instagram!..more to come! Planning for some major changes first or second quarter next year...
Here are some pics...
