Confused about first mods
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!

your paying way too much for alot of that stuff, take your time and be patient...the classifieds and ebay work wonders man, i've saved hundreds using ebay/craigslist
idk how they do it in dubai, but craigslist is your friend

Quite a bit of the stuff is off ebay ( scoops,louvers) etc...thing is I will be shipping everything to a US address and then to Dubai. Luckily I won't be paying the full shipping rate as my friend works in a shipping company. The gt500 fascia would cost me less in Dubai from my dealer if I were to buy it online (cheapest was 1700 USD+250/300 shipping to US) PLUS shipping to Dubai...so it would be more expensive. The rest of the parts I'm pretty sure I'v got cheap (if not cheapest) deals. I'v been scouring the web and would prefer to buy off a reputable website rather than craigslist. ebay is still fine.
...To the OP, your first list of parts is all show and no go? You'd spend over 5k and still get beat by stock Mustangs?

I guess..which is why I'm in two minds..it would be perfect if I could get the car with a gt500 fascia and a supercharger as well..
