Default What to modify?

I have $175 I'm looking to put toward my 2004 mustang gt. The car is bone stock except for a new air filter and I'm trying to decide what is the best modification I can purchase for under $175? Or if i should save the money for a more expensive upgrade? Thanks

Gears are about $150 or less everywhere I look. But the install is going to cost ya.

Silver.... what are your needs as a driver?

Agreed, that you can do very little with $175 and need to save more, but what would you like from your ride?
