It varies too widely to even pick a number. Some are just suspension modded cars, some are all out racecars that would eat an LS1 alive.

And some are just guys who bought the emblems and stickers from MM & FF.
My buddy did this ona yellow notch he had. The steeda emblems look much cooler than the f*rd ones, and he put the sail panel and windshield sticker on that came with the kit too, against my advice. IMO, the emblems are cool, but the stickers were overboard when not running asingle piece of steeda gear.

Well Steeda works with Ford so you can go to a "Steeda certified dealer" and buy a Steeda Modified Mustang. Ford ships the car directly to Steeda them to the dealer who sold it.

It's basically just like Saleen. Steeda is even more widespread on the cars they put out though. Whatever you want, they'll do it and stick their name on it...

Most Steedas you'll see on the street are GT's w/ big ugly front bumpers and a whole lot of non-sense. However, they're hooked up pretty damn decent in the suspension department. Independent rears>>>>great for autocross BUT>>crappy for drag racing. So, they can't get out of the hole for carp and they're still *seriously* pretty slow IMHO. My buddy has a '99 and he can drive............I've sen girls w/ auto's tear his *** apart LOL

Steeda is just a way for new, jerk-off, Mustang owners to get overchaged on work they can't do themselves.

You might also consider those that purchasing a steeda mustang get a new, modified car that is covered by a factory warrantee.

It may not be the way you or I would go about getting a modified car but come on, does that make them jerk offs?

YES

Seriously though, I like the ground effects I see on some late 80's ragtop 5.0's. Indeed, were I to own one, I'd definitly go "rollin" in it with the "ragtop down" so my "hair could blow." Some people hate gfx but I think almost every car looks better with them (tastefully done of course). Is Steeda sort of a Mustang equivalent of NextGen? I swear I've never seen such catalog nonsense in all my life. They pretty much just scour junkyarts and order from dealers and aftermarket manufacturers, but instead of charging less and passing on their bulk savings to the final consumer, they charge an average of three times MORE! And then they insidiously price throw away stuff like oil filters cheaper than auto zone knowing that dumb people will assume because the filter is cheaper everything else must be too...what a crock. Maybe I should publish such a "catalog" too..."The public be damned"
