Hello All,
Just bought a 2002 GT Convertible and am a novice. Would like to know where I can get parts like the license plate bulb housings and other not so common parts. Thanks. Also, I have about a $1000 to add more power to the Mustang, thinking about going with headers and a new exhaust. Thoughts?

The first thing you should do performance wise is put in a set of 4.10 gears. This will not show power on the dyno, but will multiply your torque and make the car a lot faster. After that, exhaust upgrades to long tube headers and a good mid-pipe would be a good idea as well.

An intake also helps. There are many options for the mustang...everything from UDP's to nitrous.

id say either gears + midpipe + catback ...or... gears + tune + catback should be around 1k either way make sure you do gears and something with the exhaust. good luck keep us updated.
