    What the hell is a shift linkage?

    The shifter mounts atop the tranny TO the tranny.
    Shifter to me is the bit in the cabin you row, which is bolted (in this case) to the linkage (red shaft thinger) - which moves the bits in the trans. Sorry if I'm using incorrect terminology - or if I'm confusing the later model years with the older.

    That's the 2005+ Mustang shifter. Yours looks something like this:

    Cervinis and Roush have OEM quality fitment. Saleen has garbage fitment. There are also a few others that are less common.

    Those look amazing! Wish I had that option with my '98. Only I would not recomend anything from BOI. Their headlights are prone to fading, condensation and peeling of the tint/finish they have on the lens. For best light output I would suggest something with a clear lens.
    Otherwise

    This was mine. Wish I had an option for HID retro fit like that....it looks absolutely amazing















    Most of these pictures were from a cruise that we set up through the SN95 site up to The Hawks Nest in NY. Sorry I'm not much of a photographer.

    Very clean. I have a weird place in my heart for SN95 Mustangs. I need to dig up my 11/93 or 12/93 issue of C&D. Theres a bunch of mock up designs I really liked the "Bruce Jenner" design.

    Nice choice. Didn't used to be a fan of the New Edge cars, but they are growing on me, and in black it just looks mean as hell. Love the sound of the 4.6s, too. But maybe I'm starting to get biased...
    I love cars, but the problem is they are like schroedinger's hobby. They're always in a quantum superstate of being both awesome and a huge waste of time and money... until observation momentarily forces them into one state or another.

    I kinda liked it with the wing. But that side angle makes me say the Stalker bumper needs to go.

    Glad to see you're getting rid of that bumper, personally I'm not a fan of it at all. Also turbo stangs are pretty scHweEt!

    Btw- Where is your car doing a barrel roll off a snowy cliff which was once Road America? This is obviously the new standard in TCL picture procedure; I'll send you the memo.

    It's not a permanent removal. Just seeing if it's what I want to do or not. What it does do is highlight how craptastic the front bumper actually is - so if nothing else it's motivated me to ditch it a little faster.

    You're not helping the 'stay within budget' part.

    Looks great! now post on cl to see if someone will at least trade you a gt or v6 bumper for the stalker. Oh, and leave it wingless it looks a lot more clean and sleek especially from the back.

    that generation of mustang is just a lot of fun per dollar and i can totally understand the non-fun of being in a firebreathing economy car that wants to go everywhere RIGHT NOW like a nitro powered buzzsaw, as opposed to a more composed, big displacement car.
