New member with a 3G TL

Just picked up this 04 5AT the other day. I believe the previous owner is a member here, not completely sure. Loving it so far. I used to have an 05 Silverado but had to downsize so i could save on fuel. I know most wouldn't consider this a gas saver but it gets about twice the mpg's my truck got, so i am still able to cut fuel costs in half. My mom has the same car and I've always loved driving it so I knew it was what i wanted when my truck sold.







And a couple pictures with my friend's 2011 V6 Mustang..




and some pictures of my previous vehicle..

Me and the previous owner have the same taste with car stuff so it worked out really well. Wouldn't have done anything different to it myself.

Thinking about the aspec kit but I'm worried about scraping the front lip a lot, it's already low as is. And I also have some type s tails but I really like these ones, just a nice light tint for that darker shade of red.

The mustang is rather large for a two door. I've driven the pictured one and one thing I noticed was that the front end of the car is really long

When I drove it, it was stock and it was pretty quick. Now he has a cai and a programmer and claims the power gains were pretty noticeable. In a straight drag race I'd bet he would win. But honestly that mustang doesn't handle all that great and he's got a lot less experience behind the wheel than I do so in other situations I'm sure I could give him a run for his money.

Was the guy you bought this car from in Irvine? I've seen a car that looked very similar to it around town.
