Default Need opinion on new car ideas...

hey guys, im turning 17 in july and for the last 6 months i've been looking for a mustang and deciding what to do with it. I wanted a GT but long story short parents said no. so I found a v6 that i really liked. Its a black stock 40k miles, leather, 5 speed manual... Im going to purchase it next weekend for $9000 which i think is a good deal. I had extra money saved up since in my mind i thought i was gonna be getting a GT but since that didnt work out i have extra money to do some modding. heres what i want to do with it so far...

Bama chip tuner & CAI

gt/cs rear bumper

gt 500 rear spoiler(spoiler store ebay)

FRPP dual exhaust x pipes GTA's

18x9 Gunmetal Grey Shelby Razor Wheel(not sure tire size?any suggestions)

Tint back windows

pioneer avic in dash nav/subs

lowering springs

shorty antenna

Thats everything i have on my list now. What i need help on is picking a front fascia? what should i do with the front end? I want a gt500 front end but its too pricey for me now. Also are there any other suggestions for the car that i should get? Or anything on the list that you would change?

Thanks for all the help I will keep you posted on the progress.

personally I would not get the GT bumper and make the cuts myself. I would also go with an 8.8 or a t-loc with 4.10's. But it sounds like you want to go for looks more than performance. Maybe you should look into some louvers and side scoops. Or scrap that whole list and go for the gt500 front end.

If you lower it your really should get shocks.

for the wheels get 255/45-18. I think id use all the money in parts, except wheels, and use it on a gt500 front. they sell them as a kit or as a whole body kit at northamericantuning.com

I would buy 4.10 gears with a trak lok, tune, and CAI. You will be extremely happy with the performance.
