Thanks bro
I just got an 05 mustang, im not a mustang guy but love the look of it and your car is simply amaizing
Love the cool no steess atgitude you have
No showboating, no thrash talk just noce and easy to listen too
Good job buddy
Yooo!! Glad you made this video to help out up and coming mustang owners who want to do low price mods. What I did is plasti dipped the rear deck panel instead of purchasing it from American muscle ($8), Spray Painted from "Dupli Color" spray can my brake calipers to red ($10), Fog Light chrome trim from American Muscle ($15, but idk if they still sell that product lol) purchased a plastic "carbon fiber look alike" gas cap from ebay for ($15), chrome headlights from eBay ($60), purchased Pypes Violators from eBay for $130, BBK Off Road X Pipe (Bought for $150 & ReSold for $220) then purchased Pypes Off Road H Pipe from eBay for $145, Chin Spoiler from eBay for $60, Side & Rear Window Louver from eBay for $120, Used Steeda Cold Air Intake & SCT tuner for $125 from eBay, Rear Deep Dish 18x9 Bullit rims & Mickey Thompson tires for $310 from eBay.
Ebay is like the stock market, you can find very good priced for aftermarket mods but prices changed on weekly basis!!
I swear I will make a video one of these days showing my Betty before summer ends lol.
Great video, Nate!
Woah! Thanks for the great addition to cheap mods! I bet they all look amazing and perform very well too. Those are prices I love to see. Not those ridiculous prices we usually see hahaha Yeah Ebay is very tricky sometimes. It is a hit or miss. Thanks again Cruz for always showing up! Your feedback is greatly appreciated
What chin spoiler did you get off eBay for $60? Cheapest I’ve seen is like 109 or so. Know this is from about a year ago so maybe went up. Just curious.. thanks
Dude thank you so much, been debating buying an 05-09 GT for a while now and I think you've finally got me convinced.
Dude your car looks amazing! When I get mine it's gonna be almost the same.
dont, lol make it your own
tarik plat no dude i mean like that's almost exactly how i wanted mine to be even before watching his videos, always wanted a blackout mustang.
Thanks my man! It means a lot to me to hear that. Keep on building and make your car dreams come true!
That's the best thing about mustangs, everyone makes it their own
Yessir! blackout is awesome but a hassel to keep clean lol
Much better intro bud, Good job.
Thanks my man! I try my best
It’s an honor to say I have finally bought my 2007 mustang
This is like the best car youtuber I have ever seen. Honestly I was about to buy a Nissan 350Z because of the large aftermarket and quite good NA engine knowing that i wouldnt have to do much on it performance wise since i was about to buy it in Nismo version. But you really stopped me from doing so with your videos and i completely changed my mind when i really saw a 08 ford on the street. I said to myself, Nate did it- I am buying a Mustang.
On my V6 I Plastidipped my decklid panel, put a $50 front splitter on, custom vinyl pony overlay for my rear sidemarkers $10 , modern style front turn signals $31, black rubber license plate frame $4, 8 inch antenna $11, windshield tint strip $40, SIXXER decal on the windshield $20, and pony center caps $16
Damn you sure do have some great cheap mustang mods! I bet it looked super nice. Great information you posted to share with everyone
Nate Rider, Once I get my 08 GT500 wheels in I'll send some pictures and maybe a video your way!
I’m 2:56 into this video and this guy hasn’t mention a single thing pertaining to the video
The suspense is there I can see
only thing he mentioned that even touches performance is the strut tower bar and the break pads which is a wear and tear item lol i was expecting and hoping for more then this bro
Tim Tresch when was this about performance ?
I really never thought mustangs looked nice but after seeing your mustang you have changed my mind
Liked both videos the same but props on the major improvements that you've been making brother! The original video is actually what led me to this channel so to see a new and improved version of it was awesome! Thank you Nate!
Nice! I am glad you liked it and thats so awesome that your an OG to my channel :) you stuck with me when I was at 100 subscribers haha
Excellent lead in and another great vid bro! Here's mine...focussing on handling first and then engine mods soon to follow: Pypes Bomb axle-back, 20 inch Bullitt rims, Nitto Nt555/G2 tires, SR panhard bar, Billstein HD shocks and struts, Ford Performance lowering springs, Ford Performance front control arms, Moog inner ties rods and swaybar tie ends, OPR out tie rods, Ford Performance GT500 strut mounts, soon to be polyurethane bushing replacements all around, BMR rear upper and lower arms and soon Ford Gt500 6 piston amd 4 in rear brakes. As you can see I am focussing on handling first. I totally agree you can do stuff with little money especially if you PayPal...lol. Have fun!
Handling is a must with these types of mustangs haha its so bad! I love your setup so much. I bet it handles like a super car haha thats so sick. Thank you once again James for your AMAZING feedback!
I haven't done much to my ride yet...Barton short throw shifter, BBK CAI and Borla Atack catback exhaust plus some cosmetics like a carbon fiber dash kit, new shift handle, MMD rear window louver and my 2 favorite purches of all...one is close to cheap mod and one for sure is cheap mod sexy, the MMD Prepainted trim bezel which is semi pricey but oh so worth it and the Mustang 3rd brake light decal for 25 bucks. Cheap mod suggestions are awesome considering how much things start to rise in price to get your ride up to speed. Keep the videos coming they give me alot of food for thought on future additions to my ride.
Hey thse are great first mods for your car. Keep up the great build! and imma have to look into your sugestions. They look like something I can put on my car too!
I have an '07 that's basically the same as your car. I live in San Diego and got my 4.10 gears, parts and installation included done in a shop in TJ for $200 out the door. They were used, but I bought the car used too, so... yeah. It's the same from like 86 to 09, so there's plenty around. lol. I actually bought the Mustang as I figured there would be a plethora of parts available for it and would be cheap to mod. I agree with you the first S197's are the best looking body style, that's why I got one.
Aye! haha I am in San Diego too! I don't go to TJ but I go to the shops near mexico and I still get amzing prices! Thats so sick! Good luck to you and your build. I hope you have fun
hahaha awesome. Cool dude, good luck with the channel, btw I also have a nitrous kit I haven't installed on my car. Are you planning on installing it yourself or get it done by someone?
Nice! I actually just finished installing it myself 2 days ago. It is super easy!!
The carbon fiber dash kits from AM are awesome and are not that expensive to purchase. I have a torch red 2010 GT with dual 9" black racing stripes and the kit really added a nice extra touch to my ride. Less than 200 bones by a fair shake and worth every penny.
Yessir! I have the carbon fiber dash kit on my mustang but it came iwht the car so I got very lucky lol Thanks for the advice! It helped a lot
So recently I added the plastidip and honestly it transformed my mustang a lot!!
Thanks man this helps alot because I don't have thousands to spend on my mustang
I gotchu Hans! I hope this was a help for you
06 v6 convertible
Used oem gt trunk spoiler-$50 ebay
Accel power pack-$99 ebay
12" Antenna same.. ebay
Bullet fuel door-$50 used ebay
Pony center caps $50 ebay
Alternative grill (logo to side) $50
Strut tower brace approx $99 ebay
These are a few cheap off hand ones i remember. Like other i spend hours and hours hunting for mods. It is a passion!
Thanks Nate this is gonna help me a lot when I get my mustang thanks again bro
I gotchu Josh! Can't wait till you start modding
I upgraded my factory HID's to 6000k for right around $100 bucks on my 2014 mustang also got the tail light sequencer from Raxiom and the 3rd brake light flashed from Raxiom for $60 bucks a piece
I need those upgrades for my car! I can barely see at night! Are those lights illegal? any problems with the cops?
keep them coming bro. your doing a great job and u motivated me to do my own page for my stang
Do it man! It is so much fun. I am always here if you need anything
I’m getting a 2006 mustang and she’s red with black stripes and all of these mods will help! Thanks!!!
so dope! congrats man
You should get the Raxiom LED reverse light bulbs and the LED licence plate bulb. Both are cheap, sweet mods!
Yeah that is a must do as well! Thanks for letting me know about that :)
Painted mirror caps, radiator extensions, billet GT 12v plug, and black 4.6 badges.
Awesome add ons to my video. Thank you so much!
I purchase most of my mods from AM as well, but not the LED for the map lights. $30 is ridiculous. I got some from ebay for about $10. I installed them on map lights and on rear license plate. Looks awesome with the Raxiom tail lights
Ebay always comes through with the great prices. its always important to do your research before you make a purcahse so you can get the best price.
That’s a dope looking stang right there... I got a v6 auction model.... love her and just waiting to get back from mod and dyno shop now, can wait... I need to put my window raingaurds on and drive that biotch...
nice! thats awesome
Where did you get the taillights and headlights??
Aye bro you need to upload a vid of you doing a burnout in Sally !!!
Hahaha will do for sure! Thanks for the feedback
GREAT VIDEO !!! I'm gonna make sure I get these mods on my mustang soon enough!
Do it mustang Joe! You will love them :)
I'll probably make a video like this lol but my GT500 spoiler cost me $89 on eBay while at AM it was $300
Damn you got hella lucky! I wish I had that hookup lol
Nate Rider it's a cheap knock off but so far no one has noticed lol
Smoky
I got mine from ebay for 60. I dont think people will ask about the brand. Got my louuvers and fog lights from there too
these decals will forsure make you faster
I also have another suggestion. Your weight can also impact how your car performs. I have lost 120 pounds in eight months dude. I can feel like my car is faster to me lol. But aside from that. I mainly done that to get my body in shape. It's a must when you are in the automotive industry.
wow tats amazing! yeah weight reduction is key when racing thats for sure
nice video again! btw i finally have those t-shirt edits done ( 2 of them ) ill get them sent to your email sooner rather then later... again, sorry for it taking so long :P
I just got them! I will reply to you via email. Thakn you so much
Awesome really looking forward to adding plastic dip!!Really good video and informative
But what about preformance ?
Check out my channel for performance!
You need more subs, your videos are awesome.
I wish I had more! feel free to spread the word :)
Yo the billet antennas look hella better had it on my old 05 and on my new 05
I added up your cheap mods and it comes to a grand total of approximately $608 excluding tax and/or shipping (and putting tint at the max price of $80). I know prices vary, but are all of the mods you listed worth it for a high school budget?
I fly out to California to get my first mustang on the 10th it's a v6 but it's a great deal and a manual. Love your videos and mustang!!
Aye congrats! Im proud of you. I hope you enjoy your new mustang :)
that mirror sticker is sick af😂
hahahha its the best $2 ever
Where did you go to get the Eleanor honeycomb style grill for $80? All the ones I found were $200
americanmuscle.com!
I have a 2005 mustang I am looking to get the flashing tail lights and maybe smoke head and back lights.I would like to get the flashing lights that kind of look like a caution light but they are very costly.I also love American Muscle Site.I would like to do these small upgrades as cheap as I can.Have you ever seem a license tag for the front with American muscle in it?I can't find that tag anywhere.Thanks for your videos which I will be watching your older videos.
Hey nate how you plastic dip your rims? Do you take all the rims off at once and keep your car on jacks while you're spraying than put it on. Help.
I recently got a red 2009 mustang v6. What should be the first upgrade I do to it? It is completely stock!
Either handling or power.
I made a video on that on my channel! Go check it out
Those are awesome first mods for the car. Nice point out
First upgrade is to sell it and get a gt v8
Awesome vid btw
thanks Kyle!
You didn't eben mention anything like the break lights (not the tint) or the headlights etc
Did you buy aftermarket taillights?
Just a heads up on the hood lift kit. I love mine. Just one issue. There is so much lifting torque on the pistons that my hood has a small bow/upward bend in the middle when closed. From the side of the car the middle of the hood is slightly raised. Anyone I asks, doesn't notice. Its very obvious to me though.
What are the names of those head lights
Hey Nate whats your opinion on a 06 gt with 80k the they put a kenne bell Whipple now 90k miles for 13.5k good or bad idea ?
Josh badaxe if in CA it's good if its CARB legal, for the price it's a steal but than again it seems to good to be true
I think that is amazing! I would do more research to see if anything is wrong with it because aftermarket superchargers can be a hassel to maintain and fix
Great response to Josh! Thanks for helping out
Nate Rider we mustang lovers have to help each other when we can
Can u plz drop the link of Headlights and Grill Please...!!!!
so hype to cop my s197
I have tried to use the plastidip and the glossifer before but it didn't turn out this shiny. what's your secret?
Hey man what tint percentage do you have on your driver/passenger windows?
18%
How much were your lights I need new lights all four I want this complete set for mine I have a purple and red pony I love that car
Did the price of the brake calipers go up cause I’m finding them at 200$+
I have the mustang logo to shine on the ground when I open the door and it was only 11 dollars.
I want that mod so bad! I think imma get it soon
What tire size and wheel size are on your car?
I have the stock 17x8 rims and idk I have to check my tire size again
LED bulbs for my map lights did not work for me. I tried several Raxiom bulbs from AM. Don't know why, but let me know if yours end up working? Also, get yourself some Lloyds Custom Car mats if you don't have them. They are sweet! I have mine in Red with the Pony logo on them.
Damn I hope I get the right ones for my car! I never heard of those mats before, imma have to look them up and see what they are all about!
I know this comment is a few months old, but my cabin lights work with LED's just fine. Maybe keep checking around for some that work. superbrightleds.com may have them
Cheapest mod I have on my car are carbon fiber valve stem caps that costs $20
Pavlo95 I got pony center caps, and valve stem caps with a pony emblem for $16 (not my cheapest mod, but they look very nice)
Hey bro what size are your wheels and tires
Damn, where did you get those tail lights??
I would love to show you my mustang. I have a 2011 mustang GT I'm trying to model it after yours cause it's so beautiful.
Send me it to my email or on instagram! hah thanks man. It means a lot to me :)
Like your videos! Hey could you help me out be telling me where you got that seat belt shoulder bracket (belt presenter). My seat belt constantly digs into my neck and I could use a bracket like yours if it prevents the discomfort.
Mine came with the car! Try checking out americanmuscle.com for that
Nate Rider Thanks for the reply! I’ve looked all over the web and on the ford parts diagrams and I cannot not find it... could you help my out by checking your seat belt presenter arm for a part number? If you can, I’d greatly appreciate it!
I love black but I think u over did it here
too much black? What should I change
How about u get some performance mods
Hey man, I am going to buy an 09 gt myself with 140k miles and I was wondering what are some things to look for when buying it
Is it worth customizing a v6 2007?
depends on what your goal is
Just bought an 08 V6. First Mods?
Andrew Cultum blackout rear deck lid, tailights, wheels, louvers...they will all change your car dramatically 👍
cruz_ thanks!!
Sell and buy a v8
Imma make a first mods video very soon! but for performance get yourself a cold air intake and tune and appearence mods is all up to you. I made a video on that as well.
Great suggestions! I love those
What hood scoop do you have and where did you get it. I can't find one that looks like yours with that same insert that looks like the grill.
This is the hood from the ford factory. You can find one at americanmuscle.com
What is that called on the window
David Cobarruvias window louvers?
Local Swanger:p glass 😂 nah I’m playing I don’t know what he’s talking about :/
On my side view mirror I have the decal, on my quarter window I have louvers, and on my rear window I have rear louvers
Yessir!
hahah you got jokes huh!
I think a fun video or at least a mention in a future video to consider is doing a why did you choose Sally for her name. Not sure if my plates can be seen but they say Fiona because she is a feisty red headed monster who looks sexy as hell...just like Fiona from Shrek and Fiona Glenanne from Burn Notice.
Yeah man for sure! I will definitely mention that or even make video on that very shortly. Thanks for the advice. It means a lot to me
where you buy it?
Americanmuscle.com
How much did you pay for this before all the mods you've added since
I got my car for 17k and I added 8k in extras
Nate Rider that's awesome thanks for the reply keep making these awesome videos!
Love it!!!
Needs a Tritan decal
Do you need experience to install these mods ?
What car is this bro?
Where did you buy your mustang?
I got it at a used car dealership
I have a 2007 v8 mustang and I get so much hate cause it's not a Manuel but I have so much money put into the mods but I like those hood pins I kinda want them lol
get the pins they are hella sick!
Where’s the links?
Beautiful
You would play a Good “Joker”
3:37 thats a dodge thing imo .... Its even in there logo.
haha it still looks nice tho!
Lol those brake caliper covers
i know aren't they so cool!
what if i dont have a mustang?
Modified Mustang GT razor men
Im gonna tell you right now if you get your car tinted for 40$ if you keep it for longer then 2 summers you'll regret it. after a while they start to turn purple/blue and foggy no bueno.
Sweet car! I just got my own mustang and am exited to begin on mods, this really helped me get some ideas going. Also what is your thought on the AM racing stripes? Link below: www.americanmuscle.com/white-8in-stripes-0512.html
Yes! I love the racing stripes as well! It gives that iconic mustang look
Yea. Go for it
How the hell you tint your windows for 40-80 bucks? Did you do it yourself?
Nah I got the hookup here in California! A shop here does it for $40 for two windows. Most tinting shops rip you off. You have to do research
It looks cool but its stock in the performance area so eh at least get a new exhaust set up
Video starts at 3:00
Side rear window Louvers-$40
Mustang Ali express 🤑👍
You forgot cheap quarter window louvers
Are those stick-on hood pins?! They look stupid
Damn could be a nice car but total rice damn less is more and I a mustang guy got a 07 GT the tail lights are bad ass as well as rotors and caliper covers I want them
nice man! definitely get them. They sure are super nice :)
I don't have one,damn
