just get the bigger tires in the back that will give you the look you want our car are already higher in the back
Thats what I did. But please dont "raise" the back it just wont handle the right, or look right raised. It needs the bigger tires.

Yep, wider tires out back and a heavy twin screw up front and you'll get the look you want. [&:]

If you want a nice rake, get some 17" bullits up front and some 18"s out back, then run a fatter tire out back. But please don't lift the car, they're already too high from the factory.

wow didn't expect this many replys back. Just to let everyone know, I don't care if my car is fast or not, I'm just trying to go for a different look. If I wanted a fast car, like someone said a GT would have done it for me. I went with a v6 plain jane Mustang so I can do what I want to it. As of today I have made mods to my inside and outside of my car. here is a new pic.

This is the most insane thing i have ever heard come out of a MUSTANG owners mouth, lol. But anyways I think you might have a hard time finding anything to lift a mustang, +1 on the bigger rear tires.

The bigger rear tires is probably the best idea. If your not going to drive it hard then you could look into the spring spacers that some 4x4 guys use. They just go between the coils then you use a wrench to turn them and they expand the gap between the coils. You can buy these at most auto parts stores. Keep in mind that if your suspension gets fully extended these things can come out. Personally I don't think you should lift it but, it's you car.
