Upgrade ideas???

First post here!!

Well, about 3 weeks ago I got my first car, and I choose a mustang!!
Its a 2002, v6, 5-speed, premium coupe. White in color with the black/dark gray? Cloth Interior.

Little disapointed about the v6, but I was looking for gas mileage than anything.

Just this weekend replaced the clutch and flywheel, it was really sensitive, but drives great now!

Well, im a little stretched on funds, but im wanting to do something to it cool that I can afford. Just wanted any ideas on what looks good and is affordable.

Congtrats! Cheap mods that I would start with are a Mach1 chin spoiler and a grill delete. Next a bit more money but get some used OEM 17'' wheels and lower it. Those are relitively cheap and would help out in the looks dept.

I dont care for lowering the car, but new wheels are in my plans later on.

I do plan on getting the grille delete though, I really like that and its only $70.

These would be my first mods as well. I highly recommend you get a chin spoiler. It really sets the car off and its very inexpensive. Just be careful, if you decide to get one, and make sure you get one that is like the OEM. There are companies that sell cheaper ones, but they are plastic and dont fit right (I bought one to replace the one I had and ended up trashing it and getting another one).

Wheels are also a great option, though you will begin to want to lower it afterwards just like most every other person.

Ill point out right away, you not going to get alot of performance out of these motors with bolt ons. I know you not at that stage yet or if you will be at all but its something to consider.

IMO, these motors are great and in my experience will last you a long long time. Congrats on the ride from another sixxer

Its what happens when people dont remove ALL of the ice from their windshield. The guy only removed the ice for right in front of him, so when I had the right away he pulled out and didn't stop. He would've hit my door if would've just stopped, so I accelerated to get out of from hitting the door and when he hit I slid and rotated 180 degrees.
