Default My new Daily Driver!!

Well,
The wife and I had agreed that once our son was born we would get me a new daily driver that would be more baby friendly vs the Geo Prizm I am driving. I had my mind set on a Pontiac G8. So about a few weeks ago, we started looking and I started visiting dealerships. Ended up putting a deposit down on a used G8 only for the dealership to sell the car the next day. So after looking and looking my in-laws offered that we take their 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis and save the money which we would be putting towards a new car purchase. Though my heart was set on the G8, I couldn't pass up a free car. Needless to say, I will be selling the Prizm, so if anyone needs a VERY realible daily driver, let me know!!
The Car:
1994 Mercury Grand Marquis
66,200 miles
4.6L V8
The car was orginally my wife's grandmother's car who purchased the car brand new in 1994. When she passed my wife's parents took over the car and just used it for road trips as they really didn't need it.
Mods planned so far:
window tint
JLT Cold air intake

Beautiful car! I love the body styling on these things. It's in immaculate condition, too!

A few modifications that I would recommend are keyless entry and SMD LED brake lights. SMD (surface mount diode) are better for the Grand Marquis lenses because their light is non focused and will fill the lens better. warden_jp2002 is my favorite seller on ebay motors. I only give props to him because I love my LEDs.

Thanks! How do I install the keyless entry? Also, I was told that Mustang wheels will bolt right up to these cars, is that true and if so, what years?

keyless entry would be an aftermarket (universal) option (or a raid the junk yard and find a same body style with the parts - '92 - '94). You might find the parts at a dealer but they'll be more expensive. As for the wheels, check out this thread or this thread or this thread.

There's more info in the forums. I did a quick search for mustang wheels and found those threads.
