What to do with 250 bucks?

Well... I came across an extra 250 bucks in our budget that I can spend on some Marilyn tidbits.

What would you guys suggest? My current mods are listed in my sig.

I am up for cosmetic or performance upgrades

Let's hear it

Hmm, I got the redline tuning hood struts which are an awesome cosmetic mod but are really helpful if you are working on your engine or go to car shows and dont want that fugly prop rod. Oil separator is another option (I got a bobs oil separator).

I already have MRT kona good struts, so I might have to look at those oil separators... Are they worth it?

lol Yeah, but that's risky. I say spend on it on your baby. Your Mustang!
How about an aftermarket CAI, or you do already have one?

I am leary of those without a tune tho. They raise intake air temps.

You know what has my eye... Those billet oil filler caps ... Esp the ones in black or blue color.

That sounds good.
Maybe some high end detailing products as well? Microfiber towels, polish and such?

I have an Airaid Intake for sale...its basically new! I bolted it on two days ago and then I got a great deal on a ROUSH TVS so I took off the CAI! According to my aeroforce gauge IAT went down, not up!
I will sell it to ya for $235 shipped. It has the NO TUNE required insert so you can run that until you decide on getting a tune then take it out!

Wow that's nice man! I'm so jelly of you and your TVS... I was SO close to getting one last month. Other priorities came up for now. Congrats on your TVS.

I will take a look at that air raid . Did you like it? Did you notice any difference, or mostly just sound?

It's more of a longevity mod. I installed mine with 300 miles on it in about an hour. I got the carbon fiber finish. It looks awesome. Pictures are in my album

or this, i ordered a porter cable 7424XP dual action polisher and some meguiars polishes and wax. Needless to say im addicting to detailing now, i love it. Keeps my car looking great all the time and with the DA polisher it cuts down polishing and waxing time in half versus doing it by hand. Something else to consider. Heres the link... http://www.autogeek.net/porter-cable-flat-pad-kit.html you get to choose 6 pads of your choice and it comes with some microfibers to!

What about some body color-matched engine parts? I'd love to get the radiator cover and coil covers body-matched. Radiator cover is exactly $250 from AmericanMuscle.com too.

In my opinion the Airaid is the best intake for guys like yourself and I...because you have so much freedom when running the insert un-tuned...then remove it and custom tune later! I like the looks of the intake a lot! I had 3 other intakes and the Airaid was the best!

the filter is the K&N one yes.

front splitter?

I know where my next mods are:

Tint (getting done next weekend)
Roush Front Splitter (next month)

Shifter might come sooner or later. Tried my first honest 1/4 mile run with track apps today, and somehow couldn't find 2nd gear. yeah, frickin' 2nd. Now I get the whole "get a shifter" people, but it feels more like a hydraulic release issue than anything...

anyway, back to your car.. If I had your car and that money, I'd look at Raxiom tails or a front splitter of some type.
