Hey was up guys (and gals). Im a new comer and am looking for some cougar mods (and I have a list...a LONG list). I dont even know where to start to looking for them and where the best prices are cause there is so much out there to sift through. I have been looking and reading and looking and reading and search for a month now and the task just seems to get more daunting! So just HAD to come to the experts and the veterans.
If you have an answer to all or some, please before your comment/answer/advice, write the number that it corresponds to. So if you have rim comments, type "1.) blah blah......" or if you have HVAC mods type " 7.) blah blah.....".
So here we go......
2.) Night shaded taillingts and head lights and the small side lights
Since im gonig with the purple and black (or purple and greyish black) I want to either black out the taillights or get the euro taillights with a black outer casing so that just the round parts of the tail lights are still the red color (or whatever the eruo color is). Also what are your thoughts on blacking out the front lights? Also is it possible to take the front light head unit out and clean the interior plastic, because when ever I wash the outside the inside still looks dingy and not perfectly clear seethrough?
5.) Kaminari Carbon Fiber hood
This is going with the "black & purple" look. I want the one that not the whole hood is the carbon fiber color but like just the middle part & it has a scoop (if that is what its called). The outer edges are the same color of the car. hope I explained it correctly.
6.) Body Kit
I want something nice and elegant. I dont want the "drift" look or the "super modified" look. Something nice that accentuates but doesnt scream. And also as far as body kits are concerned, do you have to paint it to the color of your car?? Or you can order it like that?
9.) Lowering springs & shocks
I dont know much about this arena, so I need help in it. It seems if I go with 18's I will need to lower the car slightly (seen on other cougars on this site), but with 19's I dont know if I will still need to or not. Do I need both or just the springs, or just the shocks, etc?
10.) Antenna
The car came with a broken atenna, or so it seems. It is one of the ones on the top of the car facing backward but it is just the stub, and it looks like somebody "broke" the rest of it off or unscrewed it off or something. I want the "shark fin" look so, where can I get a short atenna to reinstall up there? The radio doesnt really pick up all channesl either so I want to fix this soon. That head unit cost to much for me not to get great reception.
13.) Black medal gril to replace the plastic grill
The stock gril is way to flmisy and I think its even broken slightly on my vehicle.
14.) Exhaust system
I want to add more HP, cause all this mods and interior stuff (subs, amps, etc) im sure will weight down the vehicle. So I want to ATLEAST over come the extra added on weight. But something nice, manly tone, etc. I went to walmart and saw they had tips, but I have been told that is not the same as an Exhaust system.
17.) Anything else that I missed that you would recomend?
I have a job this summer and would like to do most of this now before heading of back to school in Aug (well at least the rims) Not to mention it gives me something to look forward to every week (what mod/accessorie to install this weekend) :] I am SO looking forward to heads turning when they see me in the car, since this would be my first car at school (after 3 years of buming rides
Answer what you may or answer all of them.
Thanks for your time and I am LOVING the cougars on here - yall keep it up too. Cant wait for my car to be at least close to yalls car mods.
Peace.
