The gauges and pillars are for people with f/i (forced induction) like turbo/supercharger/procharger.

You do not need new headers. A full exhaust starts with headers then mid-pipe then cat-back then tips. If you do headers, go long

You can only have one or the other.

Steeda Cold Air Intake and SCT SF3 Custom Tuner Combo (05-09 V6) , Steeda Sport Mustang Lowering Springs (2005+) lowers one inch, Eibach Pro-Damper Shock & Struts (05-09)

Here for other stuff?

Honestly, body kits aren't my cup of tea. I'm just thinkin, why don't you save your money for about a year or so. Once you've learned how to drive and can handle a 6 CYLINDER haha, then go all out for performance. Don't dump money into it right away.......you don't know enough right now to start buying anything and everything that pops up in the crazy mind of yours.

I totally agree. To the OP.....First what you need to do is learn your car. If you start throwing parts on it you'll never really know to appreciate the differences that it made. Read some of the posts study some of the mods available and ppl opinions on that mod. This is my first stang and I wanna throw money at it right now but still even with my experience driving i have a lot to learn about this car. RWD vehicles handle completely different than FWD and AWD cars and Im still getting used to driving this type of system. Learn to drive it in heavy rain conditions and what to do when your car runs thru an unexpected puddle. I like how confident you are in your driving skills but honestly you havent touched the road yet. Everyday I see alot of teens killed or hurt in accidents by being confident drivers and is it worth not having your car or even worse your life. Take it slow my friend and figure out where you want to start and how you are going to do it. Once you figure that out then go for performance. But Congrats on the new whip, take it slow, enjoy life...

So here is my plan...black bullet rims 18 inchers,roush body kit, white ghost stripes, dual exhuast, one inch lowering springs, tint the windows, blue carbon fiber type interior, race seat and five points harnesess( just for looking fast), some kind of new grille, and maybe some gauges anda tachometer to look fast.
How does that sound?

Good plan! And if anyone complains about you modding, I would say get a Roush Wheel set, a set of fender badges, and a stage 1 decklid, and call it a Roush V6. Also, I hope you know that dual exhaust needs to come first in order to have the body kit, and you also need to buy Roush's $700 exhaust system. Here's my plan for the GT...


Roush Body Kit 2849.00
Roush Window louvers 399.00
Roush Legal Exhaust 730.58
Roush Coupe Stripe Kit 182.39
Roush Rocker Stripe Kit 186.93
9-Bar Billet Grille 349.99
Roush CAI 323.42
Hypertech chip 514.23
Mustang underdrive pulley 220.92
Roush Stage 3 Suspension 1499.00
Strut Tower Brace 371.82
Roush windsheild banner 27.44
Roush rear decal 7.14
Roush Seat Belt Sleeves x4 66.52
Locking Lug Nuts x4 116.20
Billet Pedal Kit Auto 120.40
Roush Door Sill Plates 41.50
Stage 1 Dash Plaque 9.44
Auto Shifter Bezel 59.17
Trunk Mounted Tool Kit 294.98

JBA Shorty Headers 339.99

As you can see, the performance and handling mods are in my plans, but I'm doing mostly visual. I think you'd do well to adopt this plan as well, but to each his own. Good luck.

I have mixed reviews so far from the OP. Yes. its your car; you want to make it go "fast" and look "fast". But IMO not very many people that have a car given to them, i mean just dropped in their laps really value the car, and take care if it. They reck it doing something stupid, which he already did once, and they think "oh mom and daddy can buy me a new one". I might be wrong about you, but so far it doesnt look that way. My first car, which was a Mustang, was older than me, I worked hard for that car, and I worked hard for my current car, nothing was just given to me....
