Default What should I do?

Hey guys my birthday is coming up and I am asking for a new paint job for my 3.8L 1995 mustang since the crappy paint is all peeling and later I was hoping of getting some nice cobra rims for it. But performance wise I dont have a clue what to do. So I was wondering are there any simple mods I can do or buy. The only thing I really know what to do is to get a cai from auto badges. I would really appreciate your input guys thanks.

After getting gears buy a SCT tuner ($350-400)
UD pulley + belt ($110) from autobadges.com
