Mustang specialist for aftermarket work

[reidms]

Had my 2015 GT some months now and I keep researching aftermarket upgrades/mods but really can't decide the best way to go. Really want to do a bit at a time with the prospect of eventually getting a super charger fitted but some way down the line.

I live in Warwickshire and would really like to visit one or two Mustang specialist garages/tuning houses that could advise and maybe fit, tune and upgrade as and when I'm ready.

So the question to you lovely lot is does anyone know of, heard of or experience of any Mustang specialists I can visit? If you have first hand experience I'd really like to hear your story.

Preferably not too far but depending on how good they are I may travel.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys I'll definitely be checking Modurstang out.

Any more suggestions?

To be honest, the S550 is so easy to work on, just about any competent garage can do the basic mods.
I have done All work myself on stands at home.

Various Steeda and CJ Pony parts for stiffening the gear train, new Swift Spec R springs, Resonator delete, Roush axle back boxes, GT350 steering wheel, gear knob, Air Raid CAI - no tune needed, throttle body spacer, rear subframe bushings and stiffening kit, jacking rails, oil seperator, hood struts, extra set of wheels for winter with pilot sports, PZeros back on now.

The only time I've been to a garage is to have the suspension aligned after dropping the rear sub-frame.

I haven't had a tune yet, due to warranty retention. There is a great satisfaction in working on your own car, especially a nice clean one without rusty bolts...!
I've not required any special tools or equipment so far, a selection of deep sockets and scanners should see you through. There are plenty of specialist places here in the US, but until I get into specialist tuning and engine mods I shan't use them.

Wow that's a lot of mods, sounds cool, thanks for the insights, great to hear from an enthusiast.

Unfortunately here in the UK we don't (yet as I'm keeping my fingers crossed) have easy access to the amount of after-market parts you do. I have looked on both cjponyparts and americanmuscle and I see that they both ship to the UK which is great, a bit of a hit on the shipping and duty costs though. What I'm really after is to talk and visit someone in the know before committing any time and money. I want to do mods and upgrades gradually both to appreciate each mod and spread the cost.

I think I want the sound, I always loved the raw deep but not raspy burble of the muscle car sound of the Bullitt mustang (don't want it too loud unless you're giving it the beans), and a little upgrade to the looks first. Thinking of Magnaflow competition axle back (may get rid of the resonator later) and some wheel spacers to give a better stance, look and road holding presence. Just my thinkings for a first hit.
