Default Advice on front of my 4.0(w/ pics 56k warning)

I just washed my car yesterday and I took a long look at it, I love how my rear looks, but my front, looks, soo, empty! I need some advice on what I should put on the front
PP grill?
GT grill+bumper?
Saleen hood+bumper+grill
Cobra hood?
Hood Scoops?

Also some tire pics b/c I've gotten a lot of pm's about them and I promised more pics!

I would say go for the PP grill. Those wheels and tires=bomb btw. Where did you get them? Are they heavy though?

It's a very clean-looking front end, personally I'd go with a small hood scoop (like the Roush) and a spoiler, and leave the rest as-is. That's a great looking car!

are the hood scoops functional? like do you have to cut a hole in your Hood or are they cosmetic? (IE: 3M tape them on)

Some are "functional", some are not. Frankly none of them do much good because of the air intake being located at the front left of the engine bay. You could stick a hood scoop just over your driver's side headlight and it would be perfect (functionally). But so far I haven't seen anyone do that [8D]

Thanks guys.
I was thinking a Chin, but I'm pretty low as it is, when the chin, I'd think I would just scrap it a lot, we have a lot of bumps/construction in Metro Atlanta.

The Wheels aren't too heavy, they are the same ones going on the new GT500's. I found them on Mustangtuning.com But they don't seem to carry my size anymore.

Here is my V6 with the GT Grille, fits beautifully but you do have to do a little cutting of the V6 bumper no need to replace it. I went with the GT grille because I TRULY HATE the look of the PP Grille. Plus the GT grille cost me just under 400 on ebay with all the needed harness while the PP Grille is over 700 not including install less you do it yourself which I did with my grille. I took my sweet time with it si it took me about 6 hours to accomplish. The front end is a Razzi front end on a stock V6 bumper. So think it well through because you will need to cut the V6 Grille tabs off to install the GT so to place the V6 back you will need to replace the bumper with a new one.
