I think I'm done. I like my car as-is and not looking to add more power.
Plus, this year I want to join the dark side and buy a 2011 GT. I can't decide if I want to keep my 03 or sell it, as the 03 will sound MARGINALLY better than the 11. But I love the bodystyle of the 03 more than the 11, so I don't want to part with it. But to me, the Mustang died in 2005 with that overly-bling-bling retro bodystyle and still underpowered, The 2011 is the first Mustang that caught my eye since the NE's.
Meh, maybe I'll tune my 03, since people say it makes a big difference from stock.

The more I consider spending more money on the car (newer seats, more power), the more I lean towards just keeping it as is and selling it as it is to acquire an S197...or maybe a Mach 1 or some other type of vehicle. There are a lot of other good vehicles out there.

I have been quoted to say "your never done till it's Totaled". There will always be something more I want to do to my car but I'm one of thous crazy customizers that most mustang people don't like.
I think it more has to do with the person. Some people like stock cars... Some people like having a nice car that the have add on to... Others like adding on to their car endlessly till they get a new one to work on.
I don't plan on selling mine and putting the 5.0 in it at some point has been a thought that crossed my mind a number of times. I also have other passions and rides I want to build. So Not sure if I ever will but after that there will be something else.. new interior, new paint, Supercharger, who knows.

For most of us our budgets limit our goals. So, in that sense I think the majority of us are never done.
Personally, I have taken the budget route to modding... I'd say less than 2k since I got it 3 years ago. I look at it as something that will get me thru college, after which I'll upgrade
to a Termi/2011 5.0/M3. This way I can save a little for those dreams rather than spend in on my current ride.
