Mustang Parts
by TROY PERKINS
You'll find that quality parts for your Mustang can run you a pretty penny. It's true what they always say, "the more you pay, the faster you'll go." However, you always want to balance the cost of the parts with what they will give you. Is it worth it to spends scads of cash to scrape out a few thousandths of a second?
But what if you don't want to race? What if you just want to have a little more oomph between stoplights, or even just keep your old ride on the road? What's available for the average guy or girl who just wants to stand out a little in a car that everyone loves?
The Mustang has catered to the tuning industry since it was first developed. Performance Mustang parts are even available from the manufacturer, Ford Motor Company. Also, accessories for the Mustang, ranging from chrome lock buttons to wheels, are easy to find.
You can get supercharger kits that make wicked power gains for about $3000, at the cost of your warranty. But with some headers and a new exhaust out of the Mustang parts bin, you can make a few extra horsepower, give your car a better sound, and keep the factory happy.
One area that an owner can give their car a little personality is wheels. Low-profile tires on bigger wheels is what's currently popular. Though they are very street racer, they are a bit nosier and tend to run rougher than stock tires. This can cause a little stress after a long day at work when driving home. There is good news, however. It is possible to do the opposite, and get fatter tires with taller sidewalls on smaller wheels, which makes for an easier ride, without giving up too much style.
The last thing people consider is car graphics. This doesn't just mean the popular advertiser decals you see on race cars that are favored by street racers, but the flames, tribal designs or even pin striping. A lot of them are obtainable as Mustang parts that are expressly made for a certain model. They come in vinyl sheets that come off easily allowing you to alter the design whenever you're in the mood. They cost a lot less than a custom paint job and they're not permanent.
We all know that Mustang parts cost money. What you pay for these parts only minimally increase the performance when racing. Suppose if you do not want to race and you just want to keep your old ride on the road, how will that be? Suppose a girl or guy just wants to stand out a little in a car that everyone loves how will it be then? The Mustang has always catered to the tuning industry. Mustang ford parts, the performance kind, are available from the manufacturer. Mustang accessories, from wheels to chrome door lock buttons, are everywhere.
