-aluminum driveshaft (my stock one has slack in it and its noticeable.)
-cobra brakes (obvious reasons!)
-tuner (cause I have yet to get my car tuned for all my parts on it: gears and exhaust)
- wider front rims and tires (because I have 8" in the front and 10.5" in the rear, I think the front looks kinda sunk in.)
Give me your opinions! I'm really stuck between the tuner and the drive shaft.

Honestly, i would go for the brakes and hit a scrap yard for a driveshaft. You can get one from any mustang i believe. Even if you cant, I would still get the brakes and look for a used stock driveshaft. You dont have enough done to your car to where you would notice an aluminum driveshaft imo. The brakes would be money better spent.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2004-Mu...#ht_661wt_1165 bada** rotors, but the calipers would need to be painted.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2004-Mu...#ht_687wt_1165 these are just alrightttttttt

I'd go with the first link with the drilled rotors. They look a little better than the second one. And the second link rotors have been turned so I'd want to change the pads also, but maybe that's just me.
