Really just looking for opinions on exterior mods that improve appearance. I have never been one for aftermarket add-ons, but I like the looks of some of the mods.....fender badges, etc.
Anything interior?

I'm hoping one day for the Gods Head replacements for the Mercury front and rear emblems. Those will make a major diff.

Good job!
I almost scored a Metco tube, but no luck yet.

The Dynopro's door sills and pedles are very high on the bling factor as well. If you want light factor the underbody lights are cool too.

She's fine just like she is !!! :D I like the SS Inserts and put them on the rear of my Blue MM. They are also awesome on the back of a Silver SS. But, I guess that opinion varies by taste.
Have been considering the Marauder flagged fender badges for the front and the "4.6" or "Panther Interceptor" for the rear. Just haven't committed to doing either yet. :rolleyes:
I really like the badgeless grill look and hate those "hockey sticks" on the front. The rear badge doesn't bother me as much. Mercury can call 'em a "Waterfall" if they like --- but I think it detracts from the overall vehicle appearance. :(

Anything to replace the stupid hockey sticks on the front & rear, plus cool vanety license plate(s), and SS inserts. The Ford GT Coil covers look good, as does the God's head sticker to cover the stupid hockey sticks on the stearing wheel center. The trunk organizer is a very nice acessory, but you can't see it. Oh, and the chrome dual snout deer whistles, from Walleyworld, that I tell everyone are the purge nozzles for my nitrous fogger. :D

I would say the God's Head badge conversion as well. It ties all the "old school" cues in with the wheels/seats. I didn't notice in your sig but if you haven't done it yet, consider tinting. The car takes on a whole new appearance. Plus it keeps the sun from beating down on the interior.

Here's a list of the most common exterior appearance mods:
1: SS inserts- These are stainless steel inserts for your rear bumper that fit snugly inside the "MARAUDER" indentations.
2: Marauder Fender Badges- Get em while they're still available! These are nifty little badges with the word "MARAUDER" and a checkered flag.
3: OEM Spoiler- This is a low-profile spoiler that was a dealer option. While you can get them sent to you painted, the overwhelming experience here was that the paint SUCKS and doesn't survive shipping. Get them sent to you in primer, and have your body shop paint it after it's installed.
4: Badgeless Grill- "Zack" from this board used to make these from your OEM grill and an additional grill you would have to purchace. I'm not sure if he's still willing to do them, but you can ask.
5: Gods head upgrade for front and rear badges- This is a Do It Yourself project. You need to buy a couple of gods head wheel centers and do a little creative destruction of the OEM badges. Full write-up is available in the "Resourse Room" forum.
6: S55 style Tail lights and backup lights. This is another DIY project. Basically, you need to paint the lens covers with body-colored paint. Petrograde can probably fill you in on how he did his. Another member (Barry?) just used a dark tint in place of the paint. Do a search on S55 to find the threads.
7: Black Out- Logan and perhaps another couple of members have painted the silver trim that goes around the side windows black. Gives the Marauder an even meaner look.
8: Wheel interiors- A few members weren't satisfied with the look of the insides of the OEM wheels where they are not polished. A quick sand and some black paint will really make them look better. Some guys used gloss, I used Satin.. you could even go crazy and paint them another color.. like bright red!
9: Brake Calipers- Quick sand and some high-temp paint will really make these pop.
10: Window tint- There are multiple threads about window tint. Just remember that the stock windows are already tinted .. so take that into consideration when tinting the windows if you want to stay legal.

22 year old dental hygenist named Bambi. It's expensive but it will dress up your Marauder and brighten your mood considerably.

Any 22 year old name Bambi or a 32 year old, maybe even 42 year old.

So far, I've only tinted the windows, and in FL the law says 35% max on the fronts and 20% on the rears. I went 35% all around and like it fine, especially at night.
I currently have a top-secret project in the works and will be getting the award for best bling mod of 2005, but it isn't going to be in the "economy" category. :o
Coming soon in July. Trust me, Jersey Girl will be jealous. :D

Member AG3R (Alan) sells the sticker for the steering wheel. PM him for the info. I ordered 4 from him about a month ago.
