Default 5.0 Project (pics) ideas needed!

Ok guys, bought this car for little under 5k 4 months ago, been thru paint, redone almost the whole front suspension/headlights/sensors, bushings, and a little interior.., cars got 3.73's, tremec trans, hurst shifter, lakewood drags front/back, bbk drop springs, wiseco stainless shorty headers, mac prochamber, flows out back, cold air, about to install edelbrock performer 5.0 upper/lower, pro-m 76mm mass air, 24lb injectors, 70mm TB...im stuck, if this was your ride, whats your next move? I need ideas! lol..nothing crazy expensive 500$ and less, I need to set it off tho, visually, any ideas? im open to negative comment to lol..

Thanks for input, Adam

Heads?? You can get gt-40's for under 500, and since you are changing your intakes all that stuff will be out already

by the time you get them milled for the correct compression, redo valve springs and throw some roller rockers on, get gaskets and stuff, your probly over 500$, plus you might as well powder or replace the valve covers, ya know? i was actually head shopping the other day, but i think this cars already got thumper heads on it,it pulls too good in the high rpms for E7's, ill know for surewhen i tear off the intake, how much are cowl hoods, +hood pins?, etc, thats my next idea i guess,anyone got a cowl hood ya wanna sell? i dunno, im firing from the hip here.

Car looks very clean. I say get a used cowl hood from someone. You should be able to get one cheap and have money left over for something else.

get a heat extractor hood or a cobra R hood, that'd really set it off visually. window tint is cheap. you could actually do both for under 500 maybe. also you could do smoked headlights or one peice head lights. all would visually really set it off.

idk, hes got the bright *** rims, id go with clear corner headlights, like mine, not the smoked...bright headlights, bright rims, black car, its all a nice offset..

but yeah, get a hood, window tint, and headlights

I'd agree with going clear corner with the lights

smoked allow less light to go through and with the crappyness of the ford headlight intensityas it is....

I did an experiment the other night, drove 10 miles home from work with my high beams on. no one flashed their lights at me or honked, hell even drove past a cop...[&:]
