Default Perfectly modded mustang...does it exist?

I've done some mods to the car so far and got the appearance done and am working on the performance part. Started with the magnaflow cat-back, hurst shifter, and now the HO polished whipple and then the BMR LCA's. I want to do a full exhaust, put in a forged bottom end (possibly a new assembled block with forged internals) upgrade the fuel system, new clutch, put a 14 psi pulley on the whipple, and then put in a whole new suspension from BMR. Want to have all this done within the next year or 2 and was wondering since I'm starting on this task what everyone's mods were that they think would contribute to a perfectly modded mustang. I'm in the research/start buying stage and what some inputs on this since it's VERY $$$$$$$$ consuming lol

That all depends on what your idea of perfection is....Some go for for pure appearance some for performance......hell some even both! I guess in this case, perfection is in the eye of the beholder...

I aint got much going onto my Stang but, I'm extremely happy with the way things are turnin out with it:

Airaid CAI
Chrome Bullitts
Clear Corner/Fender lenses
color matching mirror covers & Louvers

Future Mods:
Hellwig Front/Rear sways
Eibach Pro-Kit
Retro-Solutions HIDs
3D Carbon Front Chin
Tuner+Tunes from BAMAchips

I'll be set with all that because my mind is set on all that. Who knows maybe some other crazy idea will pop into my mind....It always does whn it comes to modding a Mustang LOL

Yeah adam is the man. We didnt get a chance to finish my tune but I hope to hit 700+ with 110 and 620ish on 91 with a 15lb pulley. He thinks well see 16-17psi going 7 grand so I hope for the best. Its getting painted right now so as soon as its finished he is going to finish it.

The reason why its not tuned is because my fuel pump crapped out but I hit 550rwhp at 5,000rpms with no tuning at all just getting the car so its safe to drive and not having to trailor it around

what is perfect?
The answer may be different for everyone.
Maybe a purple paint job is perfect on your car, why ask everyone else?

I agree; for some it is simple changes and for others it is a total change from stock.
