nice car. is your redline shift boot black with red stitching? if so we have the exact same shift boot lol. my wife also got me the handbrake boot and the center console cover, but she got the wrong size for the center console :(
Ha yes it is, i guess we have the same shift boot then lol. How do you like the center console cover? I was thinking about buying one.
i'm pretty sure i would like it if it fit my console. it would be a nice visual touch and would probably add a little padding for resting my elbow on. though i wonder if it would move around. i suppose i'll never know lol. the website didn't say anything about having 2 different sizes for it, and she placed the order then got an email saying that they needed to know whether or not i had the center armrest extension because you need a bigger one if you do. i have the extension, but she thought that since my car was "all stock" that meant i didn't have anything extra, she didn't know it was a stock option and she didn't want to ruin the surprise by asking me. she was more disappointed than i was. at least she remembered to get the shift boot shorter than stock to accommodate my short shifter. :)

Welcome! I am the resident Viggen driver.

Not a fan of Tibs at all really, but I definitely respect what youre doing with it. And that, I think, is the important part.

Welcome to Standardshift, where we talk about shifting once in a while! :lol:

Like your car. Nice color, nice bolstering on teh seats. Curious what kind of turbo kit you're putting on it. I know very little about turbos (I know what they look like) so I'm always curious about installation, the plumbing, intercoolers, alla that stuff. The door crease and the shape of the window/rear quarter window together both look very good. I don't like spoilers on many cars, but it works on the Tib.

Electro said something esoteric, Watkins doesn't like your car, Mr. T did his push-the-chin dance...all you need now is for Leedeth to offer you 4K for your ride and you've had the full SS experience on your first day! 8)

I suppose I am the resident defendant of the Mustang's honor. It's not an easy job, but someone's got to wear 285s all the way around. (LIES! I have pissy 235 All Seasons that chirp at the slightest provocation. But they burn just fine.)

Welcome again.

I'm pretty sure that's stock (factory option, not base model). I remember it from when I was looking at the Tib...I should have traded in my Grand Am for one.

Its the stock spoiler off of the SE model in 03 and the GT and SE models from 04-08, i bought it off a member on my Tiburon site, because i previously had the crappy low spoiler.
