What kind of a budget are you looking at? Are you interested in performance? Looks? Both? Either way is cool. It would just make suggestions easier to come up with. Wheels are the first thing that come to mind. They seem to have the biggest impact on the look of a Mustang. But, that would mean tires too, since you're not likely gonna want 16" wheels like the stock V6s you've got, so you're looking at spending a pretty good chunk of change. If you're on a tight budget, you might wanna consider newtakeoff.com. Their wheel/tire sets also come with the TPMS sensors already installed. There are a bunch of sponsors to the forum that are quite good, and most offer a discount to forum members.

Free. You can do it yourself. It's attached with 3m double sided foam tape. Heat it up with a hair dryer and use fishing line to "saw" through the length of the tape and pry it off. You'll have to clean up the adhesive that's left. I'd recommend bug and tar remover. Just take your time and be patient.

Congrats and welcome!!
I just put on black FR500's today!! Check it! This is a staggered setup with Nitto 555's 285/40/18R and 255/45/18F.
You probably want to get rid of that stock antenna riding crop and get a shorty. They are around $20 and will boost the appearance of your car by A LOT. Otherwise, CAI and tune is a quick booster to performance.
American Muscle is a great place to shop for mods to jazz up your car. They also just recently teamed up with Bama chips. I have Brenspeed tunes and love them. Both are top rated.
Pst Pst, btw, there is a silver mustang registry.

No offense but I would leave it totally stock, take the mod money and put it straight into the bank, sell the car in 18 months then buy a one year old 2011 V6 with a few options used in August of 2011 just before the 2012's come out. Cost will be around $18k. What you will have is a 305 hp V6 that gets 31 mpg, handles like its on rails (with GT suspension option and 331 rear). I think this is one of the biggest secrets in autoland. Its funny I have always been a V8 man but I am very very curious about this new V6. Now with two turbos ala the SHO.......
Or if you are a fool like all of us, mod yourself into a Shelby Terlingua tribute car, complete with 15 K in mods that you will never get out of the car. I think I am up to $55k, I guess I could get $35k. Have fun

I bet your making Matafy jealous. Woops sorry wrong thread. Nice Stang. Wheels are a must when you have the cash. Other than that as everyone has already mentioned Cold Air intake and a tune. Remember it's your canvas we're just spectators.
