Default Any advice on what to get.. 17 years old, help! hah

Hey so in the past month I went from a nissan 240sx s13(yes very asian) to a 2000 mustang gt. to be honest, idk why i bought it. perhaps cause i always wanted a mustang since i was little but who knows! When purchased, there were no performance mods or anything to it. it was stock everything. but heres what i did to it so far..(not including general maitenance)

- Older version Cobra rims 17's, new tires.
- painted calipers red, duplicolor
- shorter antenna
- K&N cold air intake
*had to since im a kid! - clarion deck, 2 alpine 10's, rocksford fosgate amp.

and thats basically it. my uncle did give me the cobra rims off his 98 mustang, but the new wheels i purchased myself! i never knew theyd be that expensive!
everything else i purchased and had the stereo system in my 240sx.

i noticed though, that my car is lowered compared to all other non lowered mustangs. just cant tell what kind of springs they are. lame tint too

i also noticed, the muffler's are louder than stock ones. my friends say theyre flowmasters but eh i cant tell..

with that being so(sorry for the essay), i have about $500 bucks to spend. and im looking to use it on looks. any suggestions guys? its appreciated much. i was considering changing the exhaust to slp's. cause i think they sound sick...

but heres what i have in mind:

- delete grill kit
- chin spoiler
- tint windows
- slp's

youre input would be great!

You wont be able to get everything on that list for $500. grill delete is $100, chin spoiler is $100 and tint is going to be over $100 and the SLP's are like $500 shipped from american muscle. so youchoose if you want looks or sound.

Since your car is a 2000, maybe you could add a quality hood scoop.

^Thats true too. Side scoops, hood scoop, and maybe the revised spoiler design.

He already has a shorty antenna and the right grill delete is $100. The 2 piece is $60 but the full 3 piece is $100. And tint is probably going to be closer to $200 like avlon said his was.

Could look for a used exhaust,LM I OR LM II, if not will run you close to all of your budget.

Haha yea, but good luck finding the exact exhaust you want used. lol i've been having a hell of a time trying to find a catback for an IRS car to put in mine.
