Default $5000 To Spend On Upgrades???

Ok.... So I have $5000 to invest on my 2010 mustnag GT and was wondering what would you would spend it on if it was yours. The only mod I have done so far is add Flowmaster Hushpower axel backs. $2000 or more needs to be spent on Rims and Tires so a supercharger is out of the question.

Black. As for rims I am looking at the RTR's , Giovanna Kilis Matte Black 20's staggared, or TSW Nurburgring 20's.

Keeps the wheels fairly cheap and get nice tires.


Really depends if you are going for all looks or if you want performance.

RTR wheels run around 1200$ , plus nice tires around 700-1000

so the rest i would do, CAI, Tune , Headers, Gears if you race if not i would leave em alone.

the rest on looks.

Good God this is an easy one. A blower so you don't have to worry about barely beating 2011 V6's or getting your a$$ handed to you by a mildly modded one......

EDIT: Noticed you're blowing $2k on tires and wheels. Should've titled it "Have $3k to spend". Get the tires, get beat by V6's, get the Supercharger, beat V6's. Seems like a no-brainer.

Not sure if you read my original post but I said a supercharger is out of the question. The no-brainer was getting the 2010 GT with 10k miles that was the same price as a new 2011 V6. The only thing I envy about your car is the gas mileage.
