We are getting a 2006 Mustang GT and I am wondering what anyone recommends for a programmer. I like the idea of an edge with multiple gauges and such, but I am not sure as to what exists out there. Let me know what y'all's think...

Thanks, and yes I have the crappy breaking spark plugs then.. :/, guess I should change them out or at least see if they have ever been changed at all, how do I tell if they are stock? arent they painted somewhere? Thanks for your help!

That should be a really fun car once it's tuned

We drove it around all afternoon.. it is a really fun car right now!

, I think it has an aftermarket exhaust system already, I need to look a little better, and for more than a few seconds, but so far I love it!

So the hood has some damage from hail and some chips from rocks I believe, and I am looking to get either a new hood or a good place that will fix the damage... any ideas on a good hood/repair place?

, thanks!

I also have thought of getting a ram air scoop hood if I have to get a new one, or get a shaker CAI, those look good and seem semi functional, but I think that since all of them (ram air and shaker setups) do the same thing my makeshift one did on my F150, let cooler air, and bugs, enter the system, there might be a better option out there. I like the shaker because it seals better from intake to filter, but it runs along the motor so the cold air myth is still intact. A ram air has to have a seal between the hood and the airbox, and while most use the stock setup as much as possible, there can be issues(i think at least) with the sealing so warm air might still get in. Either way I think the hood vents to let heat/air escape would be a good idea, and many ram-air setups have those while most shakers require putting a hole in the hood...
Let me know what you all think!

thanks!, oh and any front bumper ideas for the mustang, or my 250 are appreciated
