everything about you ride screems v6 which is fine if you like the look. personally I like to look at a mustang and have to figure out without looking under the hood on what it is. I too have a v6 after I get my Roush front bumper installedand 18" polished bullits its gonna be hard to tell whats under the hood. If your ride was my ride first thing I would do which coincidently was the same thing i first did to mine was remove the door bumpers. remove the rocker stripes either new front bumper or 3d carbon airdam and rear valance like OIIIIO's I would upgrade to 18" wheels and go dual exhaust, I think stripes either dual or supersnake look great on an aggressive looking mustang not so much on stock looking sixers.

Majik755..What color is the top on your car? I can't really tell from the pic.

0IIII0. you are right, it does scream V6...hmmm. Maybe just lose the rocker stripe, go with a GT grille and supercharge it. A few suspension upgrades (shocks tower brace, etc) and have a sweet little sleeper.

BTW, I've only had the car for about a month now and it's my first Ford and my first Mustang so I am kinda new to the possibilities.

Kinda nice starting with a clean slate and a good solid car

+1000 Well said. Consider the stripes as your finishing touch. You may want to upgarde your bumpers first. You may want to upgrade/add a new spoiler or add a chin later. When u r "pretty much happy" with the overall look of ur ride then do the stripes. U don't want to restripe restripe as u add new mods.
This is what I would do.
