Default Help with my new Mustang look

Well, I'm 16 and Christmas isn't too far away so I've decided to make my Mustang look a little more aggressive. I'll post a current pic of it below. It's mineral grey and I want to make it blacker. I want black stripes, a blackout panel, sequential lights, and black billet rims. I suppose with my 16" tires I'd have to get new ones since I don't believe the Billet rims come under 17"? What are yalls opinions on these options? I also don't have a spoiler, and I think I would need one to make these other options look right. I really don't think I'll have over $1,000 to get these things, and I know those options go over that, so I'm really in a bind. Any help?

To get started you may wish to consider the following:

1) Remove the Mustang stripe to make the sides cleaner.
2) Remove the door rub strips.
2)17' Black Bullit wheel/tire combo
3)Dark window tint
4)A takeoff GT or pony package spoiler.

You should be able to do all of this for less than 1k.

Man, I really wanted to keep those window stickers =P Anywho, I don't really want to remove the side stripes because my dad got those special for me when he bought the car, so actually I really don't even have to have the other stripes down the whole car. Would the black bullit rims look ok without black stripes? And would I still need to get my windows tinted?

How does this sound: Keep the side stripes, 17" black bullit/tire combo, dark window tint, gt takeoff spoiler. Would a rear blackout panel be too much? I wish I could see this stuff on my car so I wouldn't have to buy blind...

Well, I got what I wished for. I found a site where I could view all options, but there was no stripe option, which bugged me. Anywho, with mineral grey I'm not so sure the black rims would look right, and because of the other plainness, not so sure a blackout panel would look right either. I suppose I'll just think a while about it.

IMO. Tint out the entire car with 5%. Also use moleskin felt for the inside as not to scratch. Will cost you around $200 to get tinted give or take 50$ sometimes. Have them tint the headlights, turn signals, and tail lights. Or you can do the spray which is not that exspensive either. Go black 18's with a billet or polished lip. Don't go 17's they are too small. Do the rear blackout trim panel to cover up that emblem on the back. Gt front bumper and rear bumper with duals.

Theres a list to get you thinking.

I'll ditto the suggestions here, except maybe consider the CDC ducktail spoiler instead of a factory one. It'd look really good on your car.....

Blackout panel looks good with MG. Accent it with a black spoiler if you like......
