Default Need Mod Opinions $2500 to spend

So I just got an unexpected bonus and was going to spend about $2500 of iton some mods. I need your opinions. Here is what I have done so far:
[ul][*]20" bullit wheels w/ Nitto Tires[*]Granetelli CAI[*]SCT tuner w/ JMS 93 tune[*]CDC classic chin[*]Roush Hood scoop[*]Z- Grill insert[*]3D Carbon 1/4 window louvers[*]Sequential Tail lights[*]midwest auto 1/2 mirror covers[*]Bassani Axle back stainless steel exhaust[*]Dash kit[*]MGW short throw shifter[*]custom shift **** from koolknobs[*]All sorts of interior billet upgrades[/ul]
Not really sure what else to do, but some of the things I was thinking are
[ul][*]Pioneer AVIC Navigation unit (Have the Shaker 1000 in now)[*]Different rear spoiler. Toss up between duck tail and Roush[*]Bassani High flow CAT H pipe[*]4.10 gears (afraid of gear wine with all of the horror stories)[*]Save for a super charger[*]start modding the wifes black 06 GT conv.[/ul]
For Obvious reasons, I'm not asking the wifes opinion... [8D]

I'm open for suggestions and thanks for the help!

think I'm pretty happy with the looks of my car right now. I have about 43K miles on the car, it's a daily driver. Is it too late for a super charger and/or gears? Also, I am in Biloxi, MS and don't know if there are any trust worthy shops around for SC or Gears...

George,
Grats on the bonus!! I am hoping for the same results in about a month or so, to pay for my Saleen blower.....

I suggest GT500 spoiler, and the other 2300 toward a blower er, supercharger.....[8D][8D]

Thanks Mike. I thought about the GT 500 spoiler. Yours looks great by the way. Did you get it pre-painted? Suggestions on where to get it from?

My suggestions were for power not looks

LCA $135-260 http://www.bmrfabrication.com/2005MustangSUSPENSION.htm
If you can't find a good shop for gears then leave them till later
K-member $160http://www.cheperformance.com/cartge...208&cid=15
Saleen Watts link $1000-1300 (not sure if a MF sponsor has it or not)
CMCD $85(if you can find the FRPP) $140+ otherwise
so this suggestion would be 1380-1860 and would help the handeling and add a little power getting you ready for a S/C
