Default Picking up my new 07 GT tomorrow and have some Q's

I'm picking up my Windveil Blue GT tomorrow from the dealership. They are changing out the rims to the 5 spokes and detailing it for me today.I want to do the following in the next month or two and wanted some opinions

1. Tint to 80%
2. Side window louvers. Leaning towards the Roush, although I like the CDC ones as well. Don't really like the flush mount ones. Thoughts/opinions on these?
3. Cat-back exhaust. The salesman showed me his 06 GT with a Flowmaster system and it sounded awesome. Which system is the best bang for the buck and which sounds the best?
4. Stripe Kit. Looking at the 10" kit. I was thinking of doing silver. Any thoughts on that?
5. I want to do a CAI, but I'm not really very mechanically inclined (or patient). Are any of the CAI's fairly easy? I was also thinking of maybe just getting the Ford Racing or Roush kit and having the dealership install. Thoughts?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Your not really going to see a gain from the exhaust its done for sound and is worth it at least for me. But I would defintely go for the CAI.

1) it's a beautiful car, congrats
2) if you don't plan to mod much, you can go
with one of the ford power packs and keep part
of your warranty.....hopefully gt newbie will chime
in and give more details on that

anyhoo, good luck and welcome

CAIs are very easy, any one you pick really, shouldnt take but 15 min to install, make sure to get a good tune with it tho, welcome to the forums! and good luck with the stang

So which exhaust do you think is the best sounding? That's what I'm looking for too. Down the road I may do headers, but not for a while

many exhaust choices...i suggest you search around the forum and find one that sounds best to you, i would also hear as many in person as you can since all clips on here dont do any system justice..

80% tint is not worth it.....there would be almost no difference at all.....you need to at least do like 35 or 20%

CAI/tune combo from B ama, Brenspeed, VMP or EVO is the best way to go

When I said 80% tint I meant 20%.

My local dealers wanted too much to install the body kit. I went got the items and installed them myself. Shop around if you want to go with a kit. Dealers will rip you off.

First thing is to get a GT500 bumper (or any other bumper) and sell me your GT bumper.

Seriously though on this question:
" 4. Stripe Kit. Looking at the 10" kit. I was thinking of doing silver. Any thoughts on that? "

I spent alot of time looking at pictures for stripes, the silver looks good, but I have a pic of a windveil blue with white rally stripes and it just looks really good. All about your preference though.
