Yes but that is stock out of the box. Most people on this forum modify their cars new wheels are easy and the ride height is a simple fix. Other than the stickers I think this is the best body they have made so far.

All we need is an Xmod detail nut to get a hold of one of these and fix all the problems.

The wheels are really a simple fix; get some black paint out and paint the spokes accordingly; if you guys aren't aware, the wheels are the optional equipment 19" GT wheels...



Looks like nice paint though. Fix it up and we'll have a sweet lookin' 'Stang.

By the way, the fixed crystal problem is also an easy fix. All you need is a soldering iron and a crystal switchable adapter.

Looks pretty good. Didn't even know they made them like this. This may be the one new XMOD I'll buy. But I'd make it look like the new Roush 427R I saw at a car dealer upstate..

Edit: Like this one

Something I just noticed....why is the rear bumper removeable but not the front? I see two screws in the underside of the back bumper...

I have no idea why the back is removable but not the front. I guess it is hard to get for some people I went to my local RS and they had 2. And I put 2 videos on youtube and the people responding didn't even know about it either.

Haha I am the........IDEA STEALER!!!MWAHAHAHAHA!
LL Yeah thats a good idea too! If you don't do this project by early August I'll be glad to do it or the Roush 427R. Next Week I'm gettin Audi R8!Right now I've got $40 so by next week i'll have $50 And I'm gonna pop into my Local RS and get myself an R8 and the AWD kit for accuracy. Then I'll start savin up again and get the '10 Mustang by the third week of August with no technical mods-just a show car! I might add the Ground Effects if i do the 427R-Close Enough!:

I might go vice-versa and buy the 'Stang next week and then wait till August for the R8. Someone's got to convince me though!!!!

Red face Man w/ the Plan

Yea once the sale ends on the 20th they might extend it AGAIN and add the Audi R8 and the new Stang to the sale!!! I'll probably buy the Mustang since Mustangs aren't supposed to have AWD or any other Then use my -$10 cupn and get it for $40 get a free ground effects then buy some supplies for a homemade Light Kit for it and my GTR oh and some 2-56 Nuts for some LOCKING steel lugnuts-they really work:
http://xmoding.com/showthread.php?t=8243

Then next month I can get the Audi R8 that will hopefully be on sale for $30 buy the AWD use the -$10 cupn and get the free ground effects all for $36!

PLANNING FTW!

Haha yeah-figures. Will it still work if I use thread tape? Thread tape seems like a better choice than scotch tape since theres more "seal".

Whats up with your " cupons " ? They have faces in them, that was hard as hell to read. So... are you going to make a project or just keep typing about getting stuff ?

What exactly is thread tape ? I would just stick to scotch tape because it's probably easier to find and it has worked for who knows how long.

LL <--See? dntspamme Haha anyways yea but remember the GT-R I said I'd get it and didn't I get it? But if they don't put the R8 and Stang in the sale by the 20th I'll probably just get a corvette. or maybe even the *gulp* '65 Stang. Yea I'll probably get the R8 first then wait for my $ to build up then get the Stang next month.The R8 seems better than the Stang to get first cause the R8 is definitely a worthy opponent to the GT-R it would seem weird to race a Stang and the GT-R.
Nissan GT-R: Drifter/Grand Tourer
Audi R8: Grand Tourer
Ford Mustang GT: Drag Queen/Grand Tourer

Anyways thread tape is a really thin latex-like tape that you wrap around the "threads" of a screw or pipe.They're also called Pipe-Thread Tape. Look:

Anyways I popped into my local RS and bought the Steel Nuts and used thread tape and it works great! I also bought some LEDS and made a homemade light kit.Too bad the nine-volt's too big for an XMOD
