This is what I would like to do. The top five are the essential ones. More of a "show" guy I guess. Would love to get the Cali hood but its a bit pricey for this guy right now.

1) Tint
2) CAI & Tune
3) Eibachs Prokit
4) Billet grill
5) Spinners
6) California Dream Hood

Ford did that one for me! My 2006 does not have a Hydrocarbon trap!

5) wheels
Heh, my mods didn't quite pan out like that. Here are my actual first 5 mods in order:

1) CAI
2) 4.10s
3) internet tune
4) throttle body spacer (boo)
5) Saleen supercharger

For the record, I think the "essential" mods are CAI/tune and differential gears (4.10s).

1. CAI w/93 octane tune, TBS
2. 4.10 gears

I went with these in this order:

1. Stereo install (I'm an audiophile, not a boomer :P)
2. Tint
3. Stripes
4. Wheels & Tires
5. Predator Tuner
6. JLT CAI
7. Flowmaster axle backs
8. California Dream Hood
9. Bassani x-pipe w/ cats

Still to come will be Bassani headers (if they match up with the cats on the current x-pipe, otherwise some shortie headers) and some DD black bullits if they make them without need of spacers and if they make the deepness of the lip stagger front/back. ALso want to get a shifter, leaning towards the chrome hurst only because I like the looks of it.
