Charlie's
99 Roush and Wife's 98 Vert
His and Hers, my 99 Roush Stage 2 and my wife's 98 V6 Convertible.
Here is a good shot of my new 18" Roush Wheels and the swap of my 99
GT Wheels to my wife's car. This is a good example of how the upgrade
helps balance the look of both cars. The Roush is lower so you can imagine
if it was still stock.
You can really tell the diference in this shot of the machined and argent
portion of the wheels. You can also see the Front Roush Windsheild Decal.
And my tiny antenna, ( I love It)
Thanks to The Roush Reps I think I'm the only one in Dallas with these
new Roush Wheels (at the moment). They have a machined lip and edge,
but the rest of the wheel is argent.
Mad House (shop) cut my antenna in half, re-soldered the ball on top
and repainted it. I still get all my stations, and it no longer sticks
out like a CB Radio. It is becoming a new fad here in Dallas and it
looks great. Note the side Exhaust. MW Note:
We were going to do a how to on that :-)
Mustangworld, you guys have out done yourself this time. I was so excited
about these bumper Inserts I put them on at 11:00 pm and had to wait
till morning to see them. It makes it stand out just the right amount.
Way to go !!!
Here is a close up of the Carbon Fiber Bumper Inserts. If you have a
black stang, these are a must. Thanks also to Roush for letting me keep
my GT Plate, I know it is not according to policy, it's the little things
that count. Thanks to Roush for giving me the freedom to place my rear
window decal on my rear air dam. You guys are the best, I still think
it looks better here :-)

Note: You can't really see the carbon fiber "look"
mesh in the shot, but it's there :-) These are $12 in the MW
speedshop.
In order to make the interior just as fun to drive as the engine and
body. I called on Mad House again. They did an excellent job on getting
and installing the entire white gauge faces, most places would not come
near the install. During the day they are as you see them. At sundown
with lights on, the numbers are almost tan like the interior. At night
it looks like each dial is an eclipse with white numbers, and a sunburst
behind the center needle mount. Another great thing about these gauges
is the 10 & 5 MPH hash marks (unlike the regular 20mph intervals).
I have tan interior but I couldn't pass on the Black Floor Mats. They
don't show dirt as much and you get a set of four. Only the front two
say Roush with the black exterior this is a great compliment.
This thing handles like a dream. 265/35 front BFG's, Roush Stage 3 Suspension.
Springs, Bilstein's front Tublular sway bar ( this thing is huge) rear
sway bar, and lower control arms, can't forget the pinion snubber.
My wife and
I installed the 80 mm Vortech Mass Air and K&N Filter. We could feel
a little when we installed it but after the throttle body was on, big
improvement. The K&N goes from the clamp to just in front of the cover.
It is a shame to hide such a pretty upgrade, I have seen some people
have a plexi cover custom made so you can see the Air Filter through
it. 6 degree Timing Advance was provided by Roush.
Craig and the
guys at Mad House Prod. installed my 70 mm Throttle Body. GT owners
you'll feel this upgrade right away I pulled away from a GT with a stock
TB and the next day he bought one. I suggest the mass air too.
This is a joy to drive, it is a joy to be seen in, and it turns heads
even when your just getting gas. The Roush Stage 2 works so well as
a pkg and the wheels, tires, shocks, struts, sway bars, control arms,
springs, work so well together that you don't realize how bad the car
is stock from ford, and ford did a GREAT job, Roush just makes it so
much better. Thanks to Mustangworld.com for letting me share this great
ride with you.
Respect the snake! I got the Cobra tool kit. No other Cobra badging
on the car. I thought it would add a nice touch.
Well Guys
it's done. Special Thanks to Roush Performance and my new friends at
Mad House Productions for the gauges and the custom solder and repainting
work on my atenna.
