pics of my cougar (pretty stock)

[Bayeri]

i've been here for over a year and am posting my first pics. i don't have much, just a wings west spoiler, injen intake, and a few minor things.

i'm a restricted budget due to going to college next year but plan to spend around $1000 this summer on my car, where does everything think i should go with it?

Well, the engine cleaning would be free (very good idea...little dusty up in there), but "big fat wheels" will cost more than a grand...Honestly what I would consider if you only have $1000 to spend would be to buy Keliente's (or any ZN, XR or Anniversary) wheels & tires (you have NO IDEA) how much that will change the look of your car... then perhaps add some lowering springs? Figure $750 for the wheels & tires and $250 for the springs and you're right at your budget! Adding the ZN wheels to my car really transformed it...you can see in the pic I'm attaching what a difference wheels make...The car in the foreground is ProjectCougar with MY factory 16s on it and my car is in the background with James' ZN wheels installed (taken the day we swapped)...I'll throw in a couple of my new pics too.

tint those windows, looks hella a lot better! go with like 20% on the back and if you state doesn't allow the fronts dark then got with like 35%-50% on the front

I would spend it on the stereo.....a good investment as the amp sub and deck can be transferred to your next car when you're done with the coug.....you can't say that about most mods........the stereo and wheels were the 1st things I did....

That section of Reading looks familiar to me. Have I met you or passed each other?

I used to live in Stoneham & work in N. Andover, so I'd cut through. My uncle lives on Main St in N. Reading, just after the Square near that little white church.
