New Mustang Owner, Couple Questions

New Mustang Owner, Couple Questions
]So last week i bought my first mustang, a black 2007 GT with only 13k miles on it. I immediately fell in love with it. Growing up I always loved mustangs, and I remember when they released the 2005 body style while I was in high school, my goal was always to buy one. Well I've realized my dream, and I have a couple questions for those of you who have a little more experience than I do. The GT is mostly stock, though it does have a few visual upgrades. The rims are 20" rims which I wasn't a huge fan of at first, but then after a closer inspection, I noticed they are Carol Shelby rims, which changed my opinion on them quite a bit. I may or may not stay with them, but I was wondering if anyone knows the market value on these, in case I decide to get new rims. The mustang came with an aftermarket spoiler, which isn't too bad, though the carbon fiber sides may be a little too ricey for me, so I'm thinking of getting one of the original spoilers and putting it back on, anyone have an idea where I could get one of those? Also, I love the exhaust, but it could be a little louder. I'm probably going to put some SLP Loudmouths on it, but I was wondering if this affects the warranty. I have a bumper to bumper until July, and a Ford Extended warranty for another 5 years. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with that. I don't think it changes anything, but some input would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

The spoiler doesn't match very well.. looks a little ricer, IMO.. though congrats on your buy and welcome to MF! Those wheels look good..

I'm not a fan of 20's either and think they look like wagon wheels with rubber bands. But it's all a matter of personal taste.
+1 on losing the spoiler. I was going to ask how many channels it picks up...
Now you need a CAI & tune. Wake that baby up!

I don't know about tune, what with warranty and all. I'm pretty set on changing the spoiler, but anyone know where I can get a stock spoiler for not 400 dollars? I saw a site selling stock spoilers that were lightly used, don't know too much about them though. Any ideas?
