Default 5.0 Prep in April.

So as you guys might of saw on my last post on the discussion forums I'm getting rid of my 04 3.9L and getting an 11 5.0. I'm in the process of selling my car at the moment but this weather in MA is killing me and the people interested in the car. So basically with the money im getting from Taxes im going to put some to the side and get some mods for the 11 right off the bat for when day 1 comes around. I was thinking the normal first mods, exhaust, grill, and GT/CS Valance Kit (Looks in my opinion just as good as the gt500 but much cheaper). If I got some extra $$ maybe throw an Intake/Tune Package on it.. Then with the 04's Funds + it being paid off start building up some money for about 2 months put a big down payment on the 11.

Now my question is from people who have bought these mods already, where did you guys go to get them? Cheapest places for each I saw were these. And don't say E-Bay ;]

Saleen Grille: $219 https://speedlab.saleen.com/store_co...roduct_id=7183

Front Valance: $390 http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...nt-Valance-Kit

SLP Loud Mouths: $375 http://www.lmperformance.com/69965/73.html
(Wish they made complete cat back, anyone got some opinions?)

X-Pipe: ??????

Cold Intake Package: $740 http://www.americanmuscle.com/steeda...gt-manual.html

I planned on putting aside around $2000 for mods alone for the beginning so i'm sitting at around $1750 which im pretty pleased at, but if you guys got any opinions one where to buy these parts differently throw them at me by all means.

I'm going with the black 5.0 by the way guys. :]

Do as im doing.. Try to finish all the exterior first You can use those $700 for something else maybe.

5.0 is a powerfull fast car already so it has too look good first.

Im installing my springs this weekend, and just need the Trufiber Hood, some Roush Splitters and some Scott Drake qrt window covers to finish my exterior looks.
Then ill start with all the engine mods

I would choose somewhere in the darkest tint, since white, black, red, silver, & grabber blue look awesome with dark windows all around.

contact your local ford.
about the front valence.

Part # BR3Z-15200-AA

It's about $350 after tax and shipping under $400

Rather than $500+ from latemodel

With the new 2012 models coming out soon how much do you think I could get an 11 for or should maybe look at when going in to strike a deal?

there is little changing between the years so I doubt discounts are going to be huge
