2007 Mustang Interior

Synopsis:
  • Interior of a Mustang with the Pony Package
  • Future interior modifications
    • In-dash touch screen navigation
When I first test drove a Mustang, a 2006 I believe, I enjoyed the look of the interior. When I purchased mine with the Pony Package, it came with heated leather seats, a carbon fibre look to the dash, as well as the upgraded sound system.
While I still enjoy it, I would like to modify my Mustang's interior by removing the current 6-CD player with a touch screen navigation. I love having 6 CD's, especially when they're all MP3 CD's, but now it's all through iPod's, or built-in hard drives. So I found a few, but I am more particular with Pioneer and their systems. The AVIC-X710BT looks like a solid navigation system, and it's dimensions would fit perfectly in my Mustang's console. Though the price is slightly high, it is very comparable to others on the market, but that will be later-on when I have some spare change.
As-is, below is the picture of my Mustang's interior, I can't remember the last time it's been so clean! Well now that winter is over, I'll be able to do a good top-to-bottom cleaning, it has been a while.

Mustang Rims

After searching through a stack of pictures on an external drive, I discovered a few more from the earlier days with my Mustang. The following pictures are from when I received my chrome FR500 rims at the end of April in 2008.
Again, these were ordered from 2KoolPerformance in Prescott, Ontario, who is an authorized dealer for American Muscle, which is where I initially found the rims. The picture below shows one out of the box, and you can see my stock Mustang Bullitt rims, while on the other side is my dad's Lincoln LS.
Ouuhhh shinny!
This one shows the width difference between stock and new rubbers, it makes the car look wider, and more aggressive. Oh, and behind is my previous ride, a 1997 Thunderbird with a V8 engine that my dad lent me while I was in school. I guess you can say that I got accustomed to the rear wheel drive system and power from it, having driven a few Taurus' before then.
Tire width comparison.
A few days after receiving my rims, I finally had time to install them. Words couldn't describe how I was feeling, it was a great day, that's all I could say.

Here's a better shot of my wheels installed and car cleaned up.
Bam!
Next post will be about interior!

Camping Mustang

Who needs an SUV or family vehicle to go camping when good ol' Mustang muscle can do. While going through pictures, I came across one that was taken while I was camping with my friends (see below).
Mustang out camping during wet weather.
That lead me to contacting my friends in order to find more photos, and below are a few more.

Our campsite.
That's right, a Mustang and an Eclipse out camping, hahaha. I was able to fit three of us, along with a couple of tents, sleeping bags, food coolers, and a few other necessities. Needless to say, it was cramped, but was a success. Oh, the camping itself? Well it could have went slightly better, but was still fun!

V6 Mustang Sleeper

Synopsis:
  • Mustang sleeper
  • Mustang cop car
During one of my posts I mentioned how great a V6 Mustang would be a sleeper car with proper performance upgrades under the hood, and a stock-look to it. This has always been in the back of my head, instead of trying to add tacky bumpers, stickers advertising who-knows-what, and pop-can exhausts... oye... in anycase, I am not here to start a feud.
Though one of my passions was back when I was taking time off from school and working full-time, I wasn't completely set on my future endeavours, and was bouncing the idea of becoming a police officer. This career choice went back a very long time ago actually, but was never 100% set on it, so I'm finishing my current studies and will determine then on.
Now where was I, oh right, policeman. While thinking about this career, I also imagined how neat it would be if I were able to transform my car into a police cruiser. I actually drew up a few sketches, see below, some are nifty. These pictures include the Roush front fascia for the Mustang, which added the extra lights. I know it's unlikely, but I personally would enjoy seeing a Mustang police car.


Simple design, no GT or V6 fog lights.

Added the police lights on top, as well as in the grill.

Based on my V6 Mustang with Pony Package fog lights!

Going back to a V6 Mustang sleeper, that would definitely be worthwhile.
