First thing I would do is lower it. Then you could do different wheels,bodykit,wing,etc. It is really just your personal preference.

for inexpensive mods I would start with some letter inserts for the rear bumper, a shorty antenna and a license plate cover either in black or chrome w/ mustang on it. whichever color scheme you wanna go with? for the inside maybe go with the billet aluminum window buttons,shift ****,light switch ****,tilt lever etc..... you can get all this stuff on ebay fairly cheap! Cool lookin ride by the way [8D] have fun moddin'

clear corners, then springs, then get new tips for your exhaust. idk, i just think the flat tips don't look at clean as the beveled ones.

oh yea, if you get clear corners, don't be retarded and get the orange bulb to put in them, cause the lens will still look orange. they make an almost clear bulb that is sold at advance auto or auto zone, that still glows amber, and it makes your clear corners actually look clear.

Lower it with performance springs (not lower than 1 1/2" otherwise you will really complicate your front end set up). And then invest in some custom wheels that are to your liking. Too many out there to make a recommendation. Satisfy yourself first. If you don't want to lower your car right now, think about +1 on your wheels. Go with 18 x 9 up front and 18 x 10 in the back with 35 or 40 rubber instead of the stock 45's. You can also go 245/40 x 18 front and 275/35 x 18 rear. It will make a big difference in appearance, that's for sure.

Forgot to mention possibly using the new Euro tail light lenses that will give your back side a lift in appearance. Good luck with your ride!
