The sky is the limit for these cars.

Bought it stock, used, Nov 2022.

Essentially just added orange accents, the track pack spoiler and 18+ tail lights. I think the accents make an already phenomenal car even more appealing.

I’d love to add a supercharger, I miss the sound from my old terminator, but would want to grenade the voodoo

I bought new on April 28, 2020. Right when the pandemic started to do damage. My wife lost her job and I sold my pristine 2013 BMW M3 build date 6/21/2013. One of the last produced, and the last to be imported into California with a manual, well according to my dealer. I believe him though, there were only 8 E92 M3s build that last week.

Here she is new...2020 Mustang GT, Rapid Red, 300A PP1, 6MT. She had 11 miles on her.

I bought wheels the day I realized I was getting a Mustang. Contacted LMR, I like silver wheels, despise black wheels. I bought a set of SVE S500 in 19X10 and 19X11 shot with ContiSportContact Extreme 275/35/19 and 295/35/19.

Next on the list was having the Ford Performance Track kit installed next. I did it at Autotalent. A highend establishment that does a lot of work on Ferrari's, Lamborghinis and so on. I have to admit I did feel a little out of place there. I used them before back in my BMW and Porsche days.

Getting ready for the install

After, springs really didn't fully settle yet.

I had an order for the Ford Performance Power Kit for the 2018-2020 Coyote, they were on backorder and I finally got it installed in August 2020, 4 mos after I bought the car. Ford forot to give me the foam piece that seals the CAI against the driver fender. Went to local dealership and ordered it. Pic doesn't have it installed. I installed it later. I also installed a Borla Switchfire Xpipe and a set of Steeda's. Those got swapped out to a set of FP by Borla Aggressive with some small resonators.

I hated the cloth seats, when I bought the Mustang during Covid, there wasn't any Mustangs. In Cali dealers were refusing to do dealer trades with anyone. So I had to settle for a 300a car as the PP and manual were a must. So I installed custom Katzkins.

Found an 8" screen setup from a local bone yard from a 2019 Ford Mustang Premium Ecoboost. I got the soft door panels and the bezel and the APIM from the car for a total of $600. They were in excellent shape, but the driver side door panel did have some scuffs (minor) but wouldn't come out. I installed them and Tom from Hextall helped me with the programming as I swapped out the non Nav APIM for a Nav one through Tom and he helped me with the Forscan. Everything works as it should other than the dual AC, as a 300a car doesn't have that ability. I also installed a OEM Ford leather center console, that was expensive...$700. Along with some Ford Performance stuff. Here it is all finished.

The final product...with Mich PS4S 285/35/19 and Mich PSS 305/35/19.

I did all the mods within the first year, I have been enjoying the car like this now for over 2years. I am very happy. I do miss the M3 every once in awhile.
