Ok, got a year end bonus from work. I'm going to use $750 to spend on the Mustang, but I need some suggestions.

Current mods include:
-C&L intake
-Xcal 2 with tune from BamaChips
-Bassani X pipe
-Eibach sway bars
-Audio upgrades are 10" Audiobohn sub, and 4 Kenwood 5x7 eXcelon speakers.

Any suggestions on what else I should upgrade?

Get a new hood, or some louvers/side scoop and a chin spoiler. You could also get some stripes.

I would suggest a set of 4:10 gears or possibly 4:30s if you have a 5 speed. That will be my next mod when the IRS returns all the money I loaned them this year!

I second the chin spoiler idea.

Chin spoiler and gears sound like a good use of the xtr cash to me. That what I probably have lined up for next.

I am stongly considering the 4.10's.

Also thinking about a Hurst shifter and maybe some more suspension upgrades. Maybe a Strut Tower Brace, Panhard bar, control arms.

If I had $750

I would save some more cashola and then get the SS body kit.

I know with painting and install it would be more around $1,500, but I'm absolutely in love with that kit.

Other than that I would say 4.10's

I'm with Don on this one also... FRPP 4.10 gears and a CDC classic chin spoiler.... but if you don't want those choices, you could just wire the money to my bank account!

I'd go with the 4.10's and a Hurst shifter. You won't regret it!
