well like the title says, i'm new. my name is don and i just got an 06 mustang gt. i'm 21 and a full time student.

well i never thought that i would end up having a Mustang but i'm not complaining. i have been around dsm but more around mitsubishi than the typical dsm(eclipse talon). i would like to learn more about the car i'm driving now. also i guess it would be easier to find some more people with mustangs than a 1990 eclipse GSX here in San Antonio. i'm against street racing since i beleive that racing should be done in a safe place(any track). other than that i'm a cheap guy that like to make the best of what i have.

as for the car, it's a 2006 Mustang GT. it's black exterior and red leather interior. shaker1000 18 inch factory rims. i would say it is all stock with premium factory options.

well hope to meet you guys

i am actually thinking about doing the stripes but i dont want to draw much attention to the car. i want a dark maroon dual stripe.

but, i like more go than show. CAI and tune maybe, but i just need to get some financial income. i believe in the saying "triangle rule":
reliable + fast = not cheap
cheap + reliable = not fast
fast + cheap = not reliable

but yeah, dark maroon stripes with tinted headlights and fog lights might be in the future for the car.

Black S197s with flat black stripes look sinister.

any pictures of this? i played with the idea but i just got laughs from my girlfriend since "it's a black car with black stripes" idea.

[doroyce05]

that red stripe does look nice but i'm sure that it will attract people. i guess i want to stay under the radar but still have the cool factor lol. i was playing with forza2 and i decided to put the maroon stripes on mustang gt in the game and it looked amazing. but then that is in the game.

[Agent Jones]

Here are some pics with matte black stripes...i dont like it that much

[doroyce05]

i agree with not liking the black on black.......i'm still liking the maroon from forza haha

[Agent Jones]

go to 2005 Mustang Stripe Painter

it has all of the color combos

[doroyce05]

wow cool. but the maroon i like are darker. like a redish black so that it would semi blend in.

man you dont work? how do you pay for the car?

[doroyce05]

well i've saved enough to get by plus i gave up 2 cars for this one. but yeah, i need to start working again. being broke sucks plus v8 drinks as much gas as my speed density set up dsm.


i'm actually looking for a job that helps out my major (infrastructure assurance or some sort of computer tech)
