Ok so I have a 2005 FXT and I'm looking to mod it. I'm looking at anything such as upgrading the exhaust sound, wheels, sound system, etc. Just let me know what you recommend. If you have any pictures of any of the mods on your car, post them!

+K For helpful responses of course.

I live just outside Worcester so it's not bad, but the city isn't as bad as you'd think. However, wicked hilly haha.

You should try Beacon Hill, Seattle. Or anywhere in Seattle for that matter, we got some steeps.

sand them with 1000, then 1500 then 2000 grit sand paper, then use rubbing compound with a power buffer and buff the shit out of them.. then you can use like scratch and swirl remover and carnuba wax to make them really shine..

Stop making excuses, pussy. You probably can't even drive a manual.

Ummm I loved driving it around town and on flatter grounds. But I hated it on steep hills in traffic. Now shut your mouth before I fuck it.

Learn how to drive. I understand you're just a wee, little 16 year old, but you should at least learn the basics. If you don't like driving a manual because you're too scared of "big" hills, you're just further proving my point that you're a huge fucking pussy.

Here's my subaru,
Click for larger image
I recently bought a 1999 Impreza, and lets just say its been a learning experience. I bought it because I wanted to be able to drive myself around this winter, and because it was all i could afford. Ive actually learnt A ton about cars since buying it. All I need now Is to fix the brakes, and change the 02 sensor, and Itll be on the road, but the thing is, I No longer have a job, and cars are fucking expensive.

Sparknotes: Fixed up this car almost. Can't afford it. Might need to sell it.

Lol at buying a car with 200,000 miles on it just because it has a Subaru badge, when you could have bought something with far fewer miles that actually runs for the same price. Idiot.

I still don't think you understand.. I know how to drive it and never had issues with it. It's just an auto is a lot easier for the driving I do. I prefer the automatic. I'd love a standard, but I'm fine with my auto.

It's also funny because I don't need to pick on 16 year olds on an Internet forum to gain self satisfaction.

I have a ridiculous amount of "self satisfaction" in my life. Making you look like an idiot is just a small bonus for when I'm bored. We'll have to continue this conversation later though, because I'm going out with my non-existent friends who hate me because I spend 24 hours a day on NS. Ta-ta!

you dont make people look like an idiot though.. you make your self look like an idiot. Your not calling someone out on their stupidity here, your just trying to look cool over the internet by starting arguments.

Jesus christ, shut the fuck up and take the stick out of your ass. You sound like a 90 year old woman. I've honestly never heard someone bitch and search for things to cry about as much as you. You are extremely immature.

Yeah scoop seems obnoxious. Would be better if the same color. I think some bronze wheels would be so sick on that. A dark bronze.
