Default Exterior appearance mods? Ideas?

I'm having a hard time deciding on what to do to the exterior of my car. I definitely want to lower it, so that will eventually be done. But what else? It's a little plain looking, but I don't want over the top tacky looking either. I thought about rocker panel stripes, a hood stripe (the entire raised portion blacked out) and possibly the rear lower valence blacked out. Any silver mustang owners or any mustang owners for that matter have any ideas? (I'm only looking for exterior mods right now, not performance....so no, "save for performance mods" replies)

Thanks

*here are a few shots of my car

lol, I was thinking maybe pink underglow lights instead

I really would love to have an 03/04 cobra front bumper and hood, but I really don't have the $ for that. If I could only win the lottery I would be set lol...I, like most Mustang owner's have MILLIONS of ideas for my car but just don't have the cash flow to support them.

NICE CAR! I like!.. First thing is first: Tint the windows. But I see you already have that done. It looks good!.. I'd say lower it next and be done with it.

Stripes wouldn't be a bad idea, but your car looks good how it is.

Those wheels are chrome, correct?

If so, this might help make them a little better...

Thanks! The first thing I did to my car was tinted the windows. I went with legal 32% tint, but now I wish I went with 20%. I don't want to go too far beyond what is legal here in NC. I figured that if I got pulled over now for speeding they could give me 3 tickets, one for speeding, one for tinted tail lights, and one for illegal exhaust, plus if I had illegal window tint a 4th ticket for that lol.

My wheels are the optional 17" polished 99/01 cobra wheels, so the inside portion of the wheel is already polished. Plus I wax my wheels inside and out every 2 months or so to keep them really looking good.
