The voicemail on my office phone was time stamped at 3:17AM, and the frantic message that followed was left in an almost unintelligible whimper:
“Dude. You are so not gonna to believe this. Check your email first thing in the morning.”
I could hear quiet sobbing in the background. “When my wife finds out about this, I. am. a. dead. man. She’ll have me listing my pony on Craig’s List before the day is out so she can do the down payment on this thing. Don’t ask me where I got this. Dude. I’m so upset I can’t even sleep.” ((click))

While there’s a certain segment of the population that loves the “sleeper” style (you’ve seen them, they’re the primer-black beasts with the huge engines), and there’s nothing wrong with that, most folks prefer to have a ‘Stang with a cleaner style. Whatever your preferred look may be, there are no limits to your styling options. One of the things to consider when planning your exterior mods is what kind of look and feel you’re into. There are several popular themes, and you might want to consider one of them when you’re customizing your pony.
