Default What Next? Help!

I Have a 2006 Mustang GT in black. I have been stressing over what to do next as there are so many things I want to do to my baby! I currently have just a Borla catback exhaust system. I have about $600 to put into her and can do about that much each month with my weekly income. I really want to do some visual mods too and not just performance although that is a huge part in the future of my stang. There are just so many things I want to do please help me out on this as I have been searching through peoples signatures etc.

I appreciate all replys and support from other mustang enthusiasts.

Depending on where you live you could probably get vinyl stripes of some kind put on for around $600.

As for non-performace oriented mods, I'd say add on a CDC Aggressive Front Spoiler and a new stainless steel grille. Makes all the difference in the world in the look of the car. Plus you'd still have money left over to give you a head start on your next project...

Yeah, I was debating whether to go with the aggressive or classic by cdc. Do you have any pictures of yours? Did you go with the aggressive also?

I went with the aggressive one. For one thing it allows you to remove the lower grille. This is good becasue if you are going to use a custom upper grille you don't want the lower one to be different (would look out of place to have the stock lower grille and a custom upper grille). In addition you get an added cooling effect from having that bottom grille gone. Of course this also means you only have to buy a custom upper grille, so you also save money.

I'll have pics on Saturday when my baby comes back from the paint and body shop.

Does the agressive chin spoiler come with instructions on how to install/ what to cut? Is it something that I could just give to my body shop and then they could figure it out...?

Yes they have instructions right on their website. Seems easy enough to do, but since my car was already at the paint and body shop I figured I'd let them deal with it...lol

Instructions

Can you let me in on a little more information about the 4.10 gears? I've chosen to go with the aggressive chin spoiler and roush rear springs.

Also on the cdc site when you have the option of having the spoiler painted do they give you a color specification? Or is it just the standard black color they show in the pictures? What route did you go with?
