Default New Car need advice on some mods

Well I have been watching over this forum for some time but never registered till now so this is my first post
Ok well down to businessI just brought a brand new 08 Mustang GT convertible got a great deal on itand I love it but there are three things I need advice on 1. Based on the color of my car what color strips would look best (pic would be nice) 2. Don't wan't spend much on painted strips so how well are the vinal strips? 3. About how much does the GT hood scope from Ford cost?

Not sure on color. Id go safe with black stripes if I were you.

Vinyl can be 300-700$ (so Ive been told)

Why would you buy a scoop from Ford???
Its 340$ I believe

IMO. Dont put stripes on it. Put a light bar, and some new wheels & lower it. Get a chin spoiler, and a shorty antenna. Oh and def a cai+tune.

Just a starting point

thanks for the advice as for that hood TJMJoe sorry but I don't really like it and am not wanting a whole new hood just a nice scoop light bar would be nice but I don't have the money as for lowering I don't think that would be the best idea because were I live there are alot of speed bumbs and steep driveways so I donno it seems like it would bottom out >.<

Actually what I was thinking of was getting the CS apperiance package but I am sure Ford would charge a fortune for that so does anyone know were I can get it for a good price?

get the roush hood scoop and stripes on a convertble doesnt look good, so no on stripes. Also get a cdc classic chin spoiler & get the ford racing 18" bullits wheels.

Not feeling the stripes. However, you can't go wrong with a chin spoiler.
