Buying a mustang tomorrow (Was supposed to be today but bank is closed...)

I have around 4500 to play with. Atleast 4, but possibly 4500-5000.


What would you guys do?
I planned on supercharging it, but this seemed to be a stupid idea as this is my first mustang. I'm 18 and just recently learned how to drive 5 speed, so i'm no professional driver.

Info on car i'm getting:

18inch FR500 rims 18x9 in the front 18x10 in the back wrapped in New Bridge Stone Potenzas
Caster Caber Kit with recent alignment
Sport Line springs 1 1/2 drop
4 inch fiber trend hood
8000 HID headlight bulbs
OEM 03/04 Cobra front bumper
Full Bassiani Exhaust
SLP longtube headers
New RAM clutch and heavy duty clutch plate
40,000 Mile tremec 3650 trans
New UPR solid upper and lower control arms
TrickFlow pletum
K&N cold air intake
Steeda Tri Ax short throw shifter
White face AC and Speedo Gauges
Everything new in the rear end with new Clutch packs and 4:10 GEAR
Car is real clean inside and out no rips no tears inside car did have a spoiler i still have it but it doesnt look good with the hood so the trunk does have plugs in the spoiler holes
Everything works heat and ac
also has new Bilstein shocks on the front and i have almost new tokico shocks for the rear that i have not installed yet.
The Car has 120,000 miles on it but you would know that by driving it, it pulls really hard in every gear and handles great

so you have 4500-5k extra for mods ontop of car purchase or not (bit confused). How much are you buying the car for?

Car is 8000, I have 8750 to spend on a car and selling my jeep later this week for another 3800, plus I have 500$ already.

So I have some cash, just dont want to use it all on the car.
I planned to save a grand for a used motor in the future since this one already has 122k miles, and a used 70k mile motor is around 600$.

Meet my friend Mr. Bell, but you can call him Kenne.

Oh I was thinking of these so far:

Rear oem cobra bumper
Louvers
fatter tires in the back, still leaves a large amount of cash.
Also found a hardly used SC for 2500$, just needs 2 things from kb for another 300$.

For close to 17K I'd say screw it & I'd take 13K and by myself a low mile MACH 1. Keep the JEEP as my DD. And then use the 4K to buy gears, exhaust, tune, etc. Or even do some searching around and hold off until I found a cobra.

The jeep is a toy, an 87 yj with a 350 sbc v8.

Also I only have 9k to spend on the car, then when i sell the jeep i'll have the rest.

My mom is actually buying my car so I can get to school.

Also I found an 03 mach 1 in good shape for 12k, he said he'd take 9500, but I don't want to get something I can't work on and I heard the parts are 3x more expensive then a gt.

sonicx

Maybe that guy whats to trade w/ me plus cash ahahaha. Cuz 9500 if its in good shape is a steal i'd think. Yeah parts a a tad bit more but your starting with a better car with better parts oughta the gate which you don't have to spend money on to get like the GT. Dont get me wrong i like doing stuff on my own as well but its nice have alot of it already there & not having to worry about it.
