Default body kits?

i have a 98 5 speed gt, its completely stock right now, i just got it miraculously from a wreck in my old 85 GT convertable, the 85 was restored to perfection. it won second place in a car show a few years back and the restoration was done by my father. i'm not much for the japanese imports that you see on the fast and the furious movies but i would like the 98 to ride a bit closer to the ground. i've been looking around at different kits and the stalker type 2 caught my eye a while back and i'm liking it a lot. sadly i am completely new to cars and know nothing about important issues with assembling bumpers and skirts to the body. just hopefully give me some tips to look for and tell me how it looks. http://www.cruizinconcepts.com/mustang_body_kits_94-98.asp

I'll second the vote for just lowering it. There are few body kits that I think actually look good on an SN95. Just say no!

i like the second link you sent ponypower, the first just took too much from the mustang look, i dont like all the gaps and lips and all that jazz, i will probably end up just getting lower springs. i'm just completely new to this stuff, i'm 16 and i've been into distance running until now. the way i look at it is the cars can go faster easier thanks everyone
