Yeah u got it right. Alright here goes...again, lol.
Got a custom shift ****:
Havent seen any 13s with fog covers yet (maybe b/c theyre a b*tch to get on):
And I think Im sold on this custom graphic to cover up the seams on my side scoops...
...but not sure if I want different text, maybe 302, or maybe none (and not sure about the roof blackout, so havent pulled the trigger yet)...
...matched up with an RTR-like hood graphic, but with thicker stripes inline with the hood vents (instead of painting them)...
...and probably a WMS CAI...
...plus a GT500 front bumper...
...so I can wire up lower fogs in a blue color (tied to parking lights only) to match this underhood glow...
...with some of that stainless, but not all.
And already got Borlas...
...but want Boss side exits and Intake. That should make it stand apart enough for me.

Lol, yeah most of that I can do without voiding my warranty, along with suspension upgrades (waiting on RTRs Watts link for starters) and then power adders later in the warranty, but theyre not unique/different.

Here's our car in March of 2006 when I brought it home from the dealership. It started out as my wife's daily driver.
This is after the first round of mods.
Here is how is sits currently with the Kenne Bell and GT500 body parts.
Sadly, something let loose in the motor last Thanksgiving, and it's been parked ever since! My plans are to have the motor re-built with forged internals by year-end. The engine shop says I should be at around 600hp to the wheels. That should be plenty!

FWIW, I bought a new '88 GT and drove it really hard for 3 years. I know, I know, it doesn't have the power of the current V8's, but I got the need for speed out of my system. I topped it out a couple of time.
This one was just a keeper to remind me of my '70 and '88 whenever I want to chill in the garage away from the wifey :-)

her 06 is 100% stock, she wont let me do anything to it, my 06 has cosmetics only so far- fang shaker hood, 70 mach style stripe, blacked the lower lip/rockers/wing, sequentials, and SHR louvers...
of all the stuff ive seen for these cars, IMO the SHR louvers are my #1 choice for changing looks of the car- #2 would be a shaker hood, just always loved that old black aluminum scoop
eventually the 09 will get them too...hopefully.

lots of pics, but they are just plain old mustangs...the few cosmetic things on the 06 dont hold a candle to most of the cars on this site...the black one on the second page of this thread with the flatblack stripe is a favorite, as is MTAS's car- havent seen pics of his in a while, but love the way it sits
