Updates from the last couple of weeks

Well recently bought an 05 Marq and have been tinkering a bit. Added true dual exhaust with flow master 40's and snagged some wheels off craigslist this morning. Looking forward to a performance tune and cold air kit next to open her up a little.

looks like a nice car but not feeling the wheels at all

The wheels aren't bad, they're just screaming for a lowering or some complimentary black/gunmetal accenting.


FYI, general wisdom is that cold air intakes don't do much. It'll sound a bit better, but not be any faster. That's speaking specifically about 03(?) and up panthers.


I love the duals. I usually prefer stock-looking but if you're going custom the way you've done it is the way to do it IMO.

Can't complain too much about the wheels. $125 off Craigslist. Around town most custom Marq's are rolling on 26's so mine is more custom with these baby 16's :smirk: Not sure I would have done much better shopping on my own with dozens of options. May just drop a K&N filter in and be done with the intake side. Loving the exhaust note though. Low and deep. Quiet on the freeway and beastly at WOT. Reminds of my old 92 5.0 notch back sound.

You should smoke those Tail Lights like miamibob or whoever did!

Looks good man.. id murder it out a lil more and be done with it

I was actually checking into a flat black vinyl wrap for it but good grief they are ridiculously expensive. I am probably done. Will definitely smoke the rear lenses but not sure I will do much of anything else.
