Talking Newbie! Convert from Chevy to Ford!!!

I am 20 years old and just bought my first Ford ever to touch the driveway where Chevrolet has roamed lol. I have a 1994 Canary Yellow Mustang 5.0 with 64,000 orginal miles. All that is done to it is K&N CAI, O/R H-Pipe and Flowmasters(not loud at all). It came with MSD, HVC Coil, and 70mm Throttle Body. It has some extremely ugly factory rims and looking to buy some black 03 Cobras, Black FR500, or Black Cobra R's. Any other suggestions I will be glad to consider. Have one question though should I get a Cobra Manifold with the Upper and Lower intake kit or the Typhoon Mainfold kit? Also again suggestions please!!!

dont get black rims... black on yellow looks like ****.

Also, before you go buying ANY engine parts... decide what end point you would like the vehicle to attain.... then go from there

Don't take this as me treating you like crap... but I honestly don't care about your feelings.

I'm just sick of seeing mustangs out on the road that look like they have been infested by latin families... I still maintain that a wheel that is completely black may look awesome by itself, but when you put a tire on it.. they look like ****.

Stick to a silver, gunmetal, polished/chrome, even a hyper chrome or hyperblack...

anything other then straight black... please!

You might also want to look at some of the 18x9/18x10" saleen wheel sets...
