Upgrades after a few scrapes

About a month ago my Mustang was rear-ended while in stop and go traffic. Luckily I was stopped and there were no injuries to anyone.

The damage was mostly cosmetic including scratches and a puncture in the rear bumper cover and the passenger side exhaust was pushed ahead a couple of inches, bending at the axle. Other than some annoying vibrations at certain rpms the car still drove fine.

One funny thing, although to be honest not at the time, was that when I wanted to sit in the car to fill out the report, 2 of the officers were standing right were the door would open. I asked them if I could get in the car and their reply was "Sure, we're just checking out the car." Even a little banged up the Mustang gets compliments





Since the Mustang was going in to a bodyshop anyway, I decided to finally do something I've been wanting for a while now. I bought and had the shop install a new spoiler. I think it changes the look of the car and was worth the cost (I did pay for it!).

Now that I've started to modify my car, I'm getting other ideas! What have I started?

Sorry to hear about the fender bender, glad everyone's OK, that's funny stuff with the officers checking out your ride, nice. Spoiler looks good, mods are indeed a slippery slope, looks better than stock and thats the whole idea.

That sucks, but the new spoiler is a huge improvement
