Default WHat was your first mod?

I have about a 6 month old silver 2008 v6 mustang with the pony package. I can not decide what to do first. So i am just wondering, what was the first thing you did to your Mustang?

I had window tint done the day after I bought it. It makes the car look better, keeps it cool, and is good for the life of the car. You can't lose!

First performance mod was 4.10 gears, followed shortly after by a SCT X3 tuner. The tuner was required for keeping the speedometer correct. I figured I'd buy a CAI since it was chump change at that point.

Actually, I went in the same exact order as Jasper. Window tint (which is a requirement in Florida!), gears, then intake/tune

Within a week of buying my 09, I had the windows tinted, and later that week my billet grilles were delivered. Performance wise, I've installed my CAI and tune from Bama, and exhaust is next on the list...
