Default I finally got my Mustang!! - question on what next

I just picked up this Mustang after selling my Jeep. I would like opinions on whether or not I should add over the top white stripes, or just start saving now for a supercharger?

Specs (as I bought it):
2007 Mustang GT Manual
1400 miles
Ford racing lowering springs
lighted sills
Agent 47 mirrors
spoiler delete and honeycomb panel
edit: CAI and strut brace

I have in mind to do this summer:
4.10 gears
tailight blackouts
maybe over top stripes
shorty antenna
correct the camber
replace the fender badges with something
maybe flowmaster exhaust
Edit: Tune
Edit: Bullitt grille (already ordered)







A day of detailing in the garage yesterday since it was raining most of the day.

I forgot to mention that it also has a CAI already. Also there are already 1.5" Ford racing springs on it. I can't imagine any lower.


I definitely agree about the tune and clear fronts. The tint, shifter,and sway bars, not so much on my list for now.

If I just got a basically brand new car, yours.. I would get only FRPP's. Fords Cold air intake, Tune, Exhaust, sway bar, ect. and A hurst! Try to keep your warranty man. For exterior I like the factory look so I would go for some polished 18inch bullits, tint, scoop, and white or silver stripes! just my ideas. i think the shelby grille would look pretty sweet to!

oh also u should get headers and exhaust, a nice growl is always a plus

and tints r probably the easiest job u could do, i got 20% all around for $225 done professionally, and it looked great

whether that's your daughter or little sister in the photo, I think your first "mod" should be this http://www.pedalcarsandretro.com/For...Car-p-414.html

Spend the $250 and let the stang bug bite her early

Maybe consider swapping the shocks/struts out for either D-specs or Konis if that"s not what"s already there. Either of those is generally considered to be better than the Ford OE or FRPP pieces either for just handling or for the ride/handling compromise. Drive it for a while the way it is first, then stop by the 4.6L Handling subforum (under 4.6L Specific).
