I've always been a factory appearance type of guy. There are very few aftermarket Mustang body pieces that I actually like. For example the PJ front facia looks like a stock piece. Even the 3D carbon pieces that Ford offers I feel look over the top in some cases.
Also a white car doesn't do very well with hiding sudden changes in body lines.
I loved the CS package and planned on getting the whole set up even if I didn't get a CS.
You should think about your favorite parts of what you have now and go from there if you plan on changing anything.
More importantly, don't be overly concerned with what others think. All of my buddies scoffed at me when I wanted a Bullitt grill and GT500 wing. And now I think that my car is perfect.

REMOVED!
Here it is, It took 4 long hours but it was worth it. Looks way better IMO. I kept the front piece becuase it think it looks ok without the other pieces on it. Got some lowering springs ordered and think maybe changing rims. What do you guys suggest?

Looks so much better! 
I agree about finishing the stripes on the rear. That cars got a great color combo on it and it looks really good now. As far as wheels...just go with what you like. I like 18's myself. Just the right amount of tire and wheel IMHO.
Great job. You made a good decision.

Much better, but for me the chin looks a little large, maybe that's just me though since I have a CS and don't need any kind of chin spoiler on mine, yeah nevermind, I'm just not a chin spoiler person (One of the reasons I got the CS)
As for the wheels, they look OK, but I really think some deep dish or something with a nice lip would look hot on your car, it really sets off the white with some nice chrome or polished lip.
I like the louvers with the smaller, more numerous slots, they look cool and don't see them to often, they are more like the original Bullitt ones.
But over all much, much much better!!
