Question Mustang Customization

If I were to customize my 2008 Mustang GT what are some of the things that I should put into it. The cheaper the better but money isn't too big of a problem. You have to keep in mind that some performance parts are specific to makes and models so with all that in mind can anyone help me out?

Thanks.

i would first think about what you want out of it? is it a show or go, or a mix. with show think of a look, i chose the eleanor, maybe you want the roush, saleen, gt500, etc. and go from there, just try and find pics of cars that look like that and you will get a better idea of what it looks like. interiror there are a lot of optinos, from dash kits, different *****, different shift kits, seats, etc. for go, again, decide what you want. is it a daily driver or a strip vehicle. the best bolt-ons would be the cai and tune, headers, i consider these bolt-on because they do "bolt on," mufflers, thousands of vids on youtube for sound difference, springs, new wheels

Take ideas from the people on this board, for the most part they have good taste lol. I bought my car and came on here with a plan of what i wanted to do and now thats completely changed because i'm in complete awe of some of the cars on this board... The main thing is do your research, and do something that youre happy with, don't let others sway you because in the end its your car and your money.

Are you going for show, go or both?

For show, there are so many options it's unbelievable. But definately wheels, louvers, scoops to go with the the other front-end mods...
