Hey my name's Anthony (obviously, haha) and I just bought a 2003 Black MM. I got it for 15k and it has about 50k miles on it. I traded in my beat up SRT-4 for it and couldn't be happier. The car isn't as fast as the SRT-4 but it's nice to say I don't drive a damn Neon any more. When I first bought the SRT, I enjoyed how quick it was but it was time for a change so incame the Marauder and I love it. Of course being a car guy, nothing will stay stock~!
Either way, here are the pics~!

I saw your post on MW, welcome. You need to post pics after the tint, if you as dark as discussed in that thread. I don't think anyone has gone that dark, the white taurus in that thread is my friends and at night it's dark but I actually think his truck is worse. But your srt was dark so you must be used to it, which means you are probably blinded with all the light while driving hehe. Have fun with it :burnout:

Gonna start out with tint and already ordered my K&N CAI. Then I'm gonna splurge a lil bit and get a full exhaust w/cut-outs, 4:10s and then a tune.
I'm going to have a baseline dyno done next Wednesday so I'll be sure to post the #s and sheet.
Where's a good place to check out different wheels on black MMs. I kinda browsed thru the gallery section but it's hit and miss when finding aftermarket wheels. I'm thinking either a set of HREs like are on the Sean Hyland MM or maybe some sort of black wheel w/polished lip. Do most of you guys get 18s,19s or 20s?
Oh and the only complaint that I have is that the stock stereo is probably the worst I've ever heard. I think the speakers in my 86 nissan sound better. Guess it's time to upgrade.
:burnout:

Well not to bash some one I hadn't dealt with but SHM doesn't get high marks here when it comes to Customer service. The Tirerack wil give you a good idea of wheel selection. I had to have mines custom fitted due to some center bore issues. We have a hard to service offset issues also so keep that in mind when looking. YOu are safe down to a +38 for sure...lower than that I am not sure.

IMHO start by inflating the LF tire :)
A tune and 4.10s will get you started out good. Welcome.

What is a good PSI to leave all the stock tires at F/R?

I ran 40 PSI up front for 34k miles. The tires would have lasted longer if I had gotten an alignment. Most of the Marauders came off the factory line with an inner-tire wear problem. Keep an eye on that. As for the rears? Some people have said 35 PSI some have said 40 PSI....the rears tend to wear out prematurely anyways IMHO. Do a search on tires, you'll see a lot of feedback about them.

Welcome and congrats.
Check out www.Steeda.com (http://www.Steeda.com) for their selection of '05-'06 Mustang wheels, they have a gloss black, polished rim that's a sure thing bolt-on, no problems.
I'm in Chicago and 40 PSI at all 4 corners works well for me in city traffic. It gives me a tad more feedback on the road and I like that, other have said it's too harsh. It also reduces rolling resistance, which help MPG, and I average 22 MPG with my bone stock #3 car. Of course, I drop to 35 PSI for road trips due to the heat generated in long stretches of driving, so, experiment?
Good luck with your mods!

Nice ride manmarauder needs tune, gears, I/H/E, and drags to come close to the 13.3's the srt runs. 230 hp is difrent when the car only weighs 2869 lbs ;)
