Not much left to do

Things I thought of (after reading what you have done) was:

1. Smoked or Clear Turn Signals and Back Markers with stealth (chrome) bulbs in both.

2. The two small Grill pieces that fit into the two front openings on the lower grill openings of GT fronts. (SilverHorse Racing).

3. Rear Window Louver?

Appearance

1. Lower it. If your worried about ground clearance get the Steeda Ultralites. That's what I've got and I've never scraped my chin spoiler.

2. Smoked or Clear Turn Signals and Back Markers with stealth (chrome) bulbs in both.

3. The two small Grill pieces that fit into the two front openings on the lower grill openings of GT fronts. (SilverHorse Racing).

Performance

1. Intake and Tune

2. Gears

3. UDP's

4. Delete Plates

5. LCA's

Thanks for the input so far guys. As far as the supercharger goes...well lets say its something Ive always wanted to do, but being a college student I dont have that kind of money built into my budget. I think Ill definitly get the clear turn signals and tint, and maybe go for the intake and tune as well. Keep the suggestions coming!

I think you're getting close to your appearance mod quota (I prefer the clean look).. but a few more subtles like tinted corners would work. Or replace the spoiler with GT500 or the newest V6 spoiler. I would vote no on the rear window louvers.. but are your windows tinted?

Well i took your guys advice and just ordered some clear front turn signals with the stealth bulbs.

No my windows are not tinted, I agree that I should tint them. Im thinking maybe 20% all around?

+1 on lowering it. I have the FRPP springs on mine. I got them from http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/ for $159.00. Also 20% Tint would look great just get the felt installed to keep the tint from scratching.

20" Razors and FRPP

My first thought when I saw your car was stripes. Maybe not racing stripes, but some additional black on the car. Maybe paint the center section of the chin spoiler.

One more suggestion would be body color side skirts since you painted the CDC classic chin and GT/CS cover.

Smoked turns for sure, Louvers would be great, and grill pieces for the lower grill. After that your exterior would be pretty much done. Looks great as it is right now too

Intake and tune for sure

Pretty sweet sixer

What to do, I say buy my AVIC-D3 so I can get the 900BT! Just kidding dude. I agree with Deric, and get some painted side skirts. Also, rear window louvers, would look good on the car. It would be just enough black, to make it stand out even better (in lieu of stripes).

just curious on the delete plates mod. Is this something you notice ? I assumed it was only good for high end gains only seen on the track. My stang is a DD, and im trying to decide to do this along with my CAI/tune that I am ordering soon.
