Since there is a worst mod, i thought i post up a best mod thread.


For me it was the Steeda Short Throw, it made my car feel so sporty and fun, definatly worth the 100 bucks i paid for it.

Body colored oval w/ silver mesh. Completely changed the front end look of my car for the best.

+1 + turbo.

I can see this getting out of hand, so I'll knock it down a notch to keep it attainable by anyone.

Open air intake was probably the most ENJOYABLE mod. The sound really comes alive with that.

The BEST mod was probably painted front oval and mesh grilles all around.

Window tint

Absolutely the most useful mod to the SVT.


Posted By: frenchblueC2_dup1 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/03/06 07:41 PM
rear STB on the Coug. Love how it handles!

I'd say winter tires for the GL, if you want to call that a mod.
I didn't buy the car for modifying, but damn does she love the slop and snow.
Posted By: jtour Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/03/06 07:46 PM
My side markers and window tint. I think it really dressed up the car!

I think I'll agree with this. Although for me it was my 2nd tint job, much better qulaity and darker!

+ eleventy billion. Tint coupled w/ blacking out the B-pillar. Best look ever for the Silver Frost!!!

Most enjoyable mod for me, would be my Infinity Basslink + HU. First major upgrade I did to the car, the improvement was immediately noticeable, and I've enjoyed it every day since then.

"Best" mod, would probably be my TSW Revos. Best looking $400 I've spent on this car.
Posted By: mystiquevltwin Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/03/06 10:37 PM
sleeperZ intake for the zetec...it gave it a litle more pep and a lot more sound.

painted grille and wheels/tires are up there too
Posted By: CRZYDRVR_dup1 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 12:02 AM
My best mod was the "Roush" mod (springs and rear sway bar).

WEEEEE!!!
Posted By: amarv12_dup1 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 12:27 AM
For me it would be a combination of the woven mesh grille and the projectors with painted bezel. Completely transforms the look of the mystique, makes me happy in the pants when i look at the car.
Posted By: Loco4G63 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 12:38 AM
BBS wheels was my favorite best mod.
Posted By: MazTour Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 02:54 AM
cloth to leather swap in my Mystique.

Then I traded the car in 4 months later. IDIOT!
Posted By: Bike2112 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 03:03 AM

Anyhow...best mod I've done so far is the spoiler made the look of the car stand out more. Oh and the post98 sail panels I love the CF look in them.
And the intake I'm working on too.
Posted By: BrandonSVT99 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 03:45 AM
The best mod I have done to the svt was umm.. eveything! I have done to it so far!The SVT is a great car stock but wants you start to mod it,its a driving experince like no other....(short of supercars..haha).I only wish I didn't spend $800 for my borla exhaust(to my defense I wasnt a member on ceg yet so I didn't kno any better) I could have gotten headers and trubendz exhaust for that much .
Posted By: MapOfTaziFoSho Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 05:09 AM
TH trans with fidanza flywheel.

3L rocks, but the above changed the car totally.
Posted By: RandyCSVT Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 06:01 AM
Nitrous. It makes it so much fun to drive the car.

I love all my other mods very much, but the headers were probably the best out of the rest.
Posted By: 111R Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 07:47 AM
best mod either koni sport kit or P.R.T. Poly Roll Resistors.
Posted By: blu_fuz Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 02:14 PM
GCs with konis and 225/40/18 on chrome wheels with no wheel gap! The best..... ugh I love my car

Im so borderline on what to do with my nitrous, either install it or wait a bit and install it on the Cobra..
Posted By: B.Brattina Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/04/06 10:05 PM
all mods are good... the best mod is continually keeping her in good condition --

overall best mod: TWO mirkos-- which are now both broken, but mirkos just make the front end look so mean

my up-coming best mods are getting her back to normal condition (cd player is broken, antennae is broken, etc.)

then the painted oval and intake

Fog lights, I can actually see something when I'm driving at night. Stock lighting is crap.
Posted By: 69Boss302_dup1 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/05/06 12:00 AM
I took the dead body out of the trunk and buried it. It isn't friendly to AutoX use with the added weight just flopping around.

So the Boss in your screen name must stand for Mob Boss eh.
It all comes together now!
Posted By: Pudmunkie Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/05/06 01:29 AM
Projector headlights. Love the look, and driving with them.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say my Built trans waiting to go in will top it though
Posted By: Augi Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/05/06 05:29 AM
Remote Start, and all engine mods. I always get compliments on the sound of the car, I just love watching the people stare at my car trying to figure out how it starts without a driver.
Posted By: IRingTwyce Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/05/06 06:17 AM
Besides tint, the best mod was the sledgehammer mod to my factory CD HU when I put in a Clarion ProAudio unit. Be careful of flying debris if you try this mod. It's VERY cathartic.

Nothing better than a LSD (Torsen in my case) and a fidanza flywheel!
Posted By: BrApple_dup1 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/05/06 11:19 AM
I just put all new headlights and fog lamps on my 95 Mystique, I can now see at night again


as for the contour, I can't sya which one mod was the best, I did everything, am doing everything because I want to ...
Posted By: AliasJerkâ?¢ Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/05/06 11:39 AM
my CTA intake, I got it used at a meet for $70. That thing made my car sound like a porsche, every time I guned the gas pedal people near by would whip their head around to see what was making that beautiful noise... Then they saw that it was a contour, and got confused... Lol, it sounded great and I got redickulious gains out of it, a noticeable difference I could feel all the way up the powerband.

Has to be my wheels. How many times do you see Gold Rims?
It really makes the car stand out.
Posted By: Loco4G63 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/06/06 02:25 AM
Now that I think about it.....BBS wheels AND the Jackson Racing supercharger.
Posted By: Jeb Hoge_dup1 Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/06/06 12:53 PM
On my '95ATX, as much as I'd like to say it was the BAT suspension, I have to say it was upgrading to the SVT exhaust. I loved the sound of it, even hamstrung by the auto tranny.

On my '97SE, so far it's been wiring the Pioneer with an aux line in so I can get the audio output from my PDA (navigation & music) through my stereo. That has been so useful. But I have an SVT exhaust in my garage waiting to go on this car, so my "best mod" may change soon.

You've got Revos? When I had my car, I had those on there. My brother-in-law inherited them when my car became not mine anymore. He now has them on his Silver frost SVT! They look good!

Top 3:

1. Lightweight wheels. Amazing what unsprung weight does.

2. SHM long tube headers - power throughout the power band - very nice.

3. 3L
Posted By: m4gician Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/17/06 06:02 AM
If I had to say? Sprucing up the front end with mesh grille, body coloured grill, and 9005s in my 9006 for sexy looking lights while driving at night. Makes me want to ONLY drive at night
Posted By: svt4stv Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/17/06 07:38 AM
tough call between subframe connectors 3L and intake. the sound the intake alone made was pure

I hear you on that, it was very nice going from heavier 17"s to my 16.3 lb 17's ;p

Nothing beats hitting 60 in second one moment, then reflashing to drive a dog that gets better gas milage..
Posted By: Tourige Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/18/06 12:37 AM
i have a feeling my 75 shot will be my new favorite mod.
Posted By: Hightower GT Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/18/06 01:25 AM
My best mod actually MADE me some money! I sold the damn Contour
Posted By: TaurusKev Re: what was your BEST mod? - 07/18/06 08:06 AM
Is upgrading to a car with more power a mod?

Certainly feels great to me driving a Taurus every day
