I agree....at least to start. I went with the CAI and axelbacks for a more aggressive sound then went with the supercharger about a year later. Looking back on it I wish I had just gone FI right off the bat. By far the best mod I've done so far.

I have a Diablo Predator U7145 For sale. Just gave $430 for it like 2 months ago. It isn't vin locked, Because I sold my mustang and joined the forum to sale a few parts. But I will take $280 shipped for it if your interested. And see like they were saying earlier. Search around and find them cheap!

I'd personally never supercharge my car unless I upgraded the brakes as well.
I say you just wait and save up a little extra. Then get an intercooled centrifugal supercharger kit, do some suspension and brake upgrades, and get yourself a better set of tires. Keep the car looking like it is, because sleepers are awesome.
That's what I'd do if I could mod my car from the beginning again.

So I've got a budget of 5k USD to mod (not including labour) and there's so many possibilities I'm in two minds. I was initially planning on getting the following list.
SLP Loudmouth - $339
Cold Air Intake - $554
Carbon Fiber Dash Kit - $209
Sequential Taillights - $156
Side Scoops - $125
GT500 conversion (local ford parts dealer in Dubai, Cant get it cheaper) - $1975
Window Louvers - $75
CDC Spoiler - $175
3d carbon rear valence - $260
Roush side skirts - $330
Venom hood - $800
TOTAL = $5028
However, I came across this http://www.brenspeed.com/fbpaxton.html and thought I could easily add a supercharger and get a California Dream Body Kit as well http://www.andysautosport.com/ford/2...p00095921.html and it all comes under 5k.
I really would love a supercharger however I have no clue when it comes to technicalities and details. I've got an 07 GT auto bone stock and wondering if I would need any other bits and pieces to get the best out of the supercharger or will it be fine on on its own on a stock stang? However, I'm really keen on the GT500 fascia as well so now here's the trick question. Can I get a supercharger in 3k for my mustang? If not,is there any way I can trim my 0-60 time without a supercharger within 3k? (preferably without any exhaust mods) I just want my car to pick up 0-60 real quick...
Basically I can go about spending the money in three ways.
1. GT500 fascia and other body bits,more show less go.
2. Supercharger and rksport body kit (more go less show)
3. Gt500 fascia and supercharger (ideal combo)
Hope you guys can help me out!

Appreciate the responses and members trying to hook me up with parts as well...as of now I guess i'll go with option 1 and get it to look and sound good. I guess next year for my 20th birthday I shall invest in a supercharger. Unless...someone can still hook me up with a supercharger (complete kit) under 3k :P
Also, I found this turbo kit for 2k on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/On-3-...ht_9064wt_1165 should I just pick this up instead of the supercharger?
