Ponybuilder.com


I found the best site ever. Ponybuilder! It's made by some California company that sells Mustang body mods. But you don't have to buy anything or go through complicated procedures to see the builder. It's a very simple, user-friendly website, and you'll love it. Firstly, you pick which kind of Mustang you want: Coupe or Convertible. Then you can pick its color, lower or raise the body. But the side menu is the best. You can fit the car with an impressive variety of body kits, fascias, scoops, spoilers, hoods... pretty much everything. And as I said, each category has such a variety! This is such a fun site to play with.

Once you are done, you can click a link and it will tell you just how much all of these modifications cost. I was expecting them to be much more, but they are actually not. My total was a bargain $3,577.25.

Eleanor & Matte Black

You know what's a hot car? Look at this car. Okay, so maybe it's a little old. It's a '90s Mustang body, after all. But I still think its hot, as I do most .
But you know what's even better? It turns out that this Eleanor body kit is sort of a new version of the original. The original came out with the '70s fastback Mustangs. It looks just as incredibly sexy. The new Mustang seems a bit punched up in comparison; stockier, but they both have "big noses." Here's the older Eleanor:
It seems more streamlined. The dark silver and black racing stripes seem to be an Eleanor thing. I definitely like it a lot. But if I were to design my own paint job, I think I'd go for matte black with glossy red stripes. Oh, I didn't tell you? I'm obsessed with matte black. It's a lovely color and totally underappreciated. When you paint a streamlined car with it, it ends up looking like a stealth jet. It also feels nice, not smooth like glossy paint, but sort of rougher, though not so much that it is unpleasant to touch. It's sophisticated. Unfortunately, I have a lot of trouble finding pictures of matte black sportscars on Google. Here's one of the only ones.
I don't really like the car much, because as a Mustang lover, I am in favor of the big, muscled, boxy look as opposed to the über-flatness. The paint job is fantastic though. Neon orange? Strange, but it works.
