Default Bodykit help

hey everyone im new to the forums and pretty new with how cars work. [&:]

Well i just bought a Mustang 2002, it was on sale for $3900 but i managed to get it for $3000 but it needs some work done on it.
Im taking it in tomorow to service the engine and all that. But what i need help with at the moment is choosing a body kit. I've found one i like but it looks too "Japanese" if you know what i mean. If you dont go watch Fast and Furious : Tokyo Drift then you'll know what i mean.

Here are some pictures of the car

Let me know if you have some ideas of what i should do to it. Right now im just looking for a body kit but if you have any other ideas let me know

This the bodykit i plan to buy since its pretty cheap and will do for now.

Thanks.

Just get a Cobra R front bumper, wing and rims itll look nice. Or if you MUST put a body kit on it the Saleen one is really nice

Got a link or pictures of the Cobra? Im sure ive seen them before. Didnt know they could fit on the 02. That Saleen looks nice.

If i take my car to a Ford Mustang car dealer or whatever you call the place to take your car to for repairs. Can they repair and put on a new body kit, chrome alloy, chrome gas lead, new paint job and mustang pony emblem on the front ?

Sorry if these are really stupid questions.

My advice is to skip the side panels and wings.If you have to add something,get a Cobra bumper.Use your money to get any bodywork done and get a quality paint job,or barring that,a re-clear of the original paint.
Also,the first thing I would do is to take off those ugly stickers.Stickers are for little kids to play with.

That front flows better with 03/04 Cobra side skirts and a GT rear bumper cover. A steeda wing would be as aggressive, but not so over the top. A car that has a big wing should NEED one....not have it slapped on there to look like it needs one.
