Default Ideas for inexpensive mods?

Hey all. I just bought a new 2004 sonic blue mustang gt after i traded in my '98 mustang convertible. I am loving it, but the car payments and insurance are wicked...well, not so much the payments but the insurance.....for thew insurance alone, i am paying $350 a month and then another $310 for the car payment. I want to do some cheap performance mods on it, but I dont want to void the warranty on it (i've already had a problem with the car and it was nice to not have to pay for it..)....any ideas? but i'm not realy interested in exhaust at the moment because the stock 04 exhaust is already pretty damn loud and it looks nice as is. I appreciate any input though. Thanks!

Nice color, was the first color choice when i wanted to buy one... but i went to a dealer auction so I couldnt get too picky, got it for about 3500 less than i should have.

Anyway as ^^^ said... his name is ridiculous lol, get a short shifter (if its a stick)... and get a dencecharger CAI. If your looking for more than that get some underdrive pulleys i think steeda makes the best ones... not sure i dont have them (yet).

Vanessa, the problem with modification is that several dealers will refuse to even look at your car if you have any aftermarket part, even if the warranty doesn't say anything about it, and theres not all that much you can do about it. Generally though, intake and exhaust modifications are the most common, but you could do several appearance mods that would make your car nice too.

OK Sonic,

The first thing you need to do is put some stripes on that thing. It may not make you go any faster but it make you look faster. Here's mine.
