IMHO... Those chin spoilers are cookie cutter because everyone seems to have one. Check out Cervinis chins or even the Steeda. They will cost you a little more, but it's all about individuality right? lol

I think everyone on here has an idea of what they want their Stangs to look like and this thread will get you a ton of personal opinions (mine included). The way this mod bug seems to affect people is in two different ways. Either appearance first and muscle last or vice versa. If you are looking to kill 2 birds with one stone (if on a budget), get new wheels and tires first. You will drastically change the appearance of your car and if you go with a wider rear tire (recommended) then you will be one step ahead on the power adding later on down the road. Lowering is also inexpensive and a simple DIY project that will not only change the appearance of you car, but will give it better handling. Read up on some "lowering" posts or do your research on what other parts you may have to invest in to correct the camber issue on the S197.

You are already ahead of the power curve with those stripes!!!

Your car looks GREAT now, maybe try something inexpensive for now... like others have mentioned, maybe the Painted Mirror covers / caps. I just ordered a set for mine last night

I've always been partial to the Roush hood scoop. Makes the cars look so much more aggressive!

+1 on the wheels/tires and lowering. One of the first mods I did on my car and it was great! It's a great appearance mod to do since you may not get something that everyone else has, unlike the chin spoiler which you will see a lot of. IMHO I would go wheels/ tires and lowering first.
