Where are you located? MRT in the Novi area seems to have a lot in the way of appearance stuff for Mustangs.

The site sponsors are a good place to look.

americanmuscle.com and brenspeed.com are two that I've personally used and will vouch for.

cruizin concepts...do a search on them before ordering.

Are you looking for performance or looks? Performance, forced induction is the best way to go on these motors.
Looks wise, I was always fond of Black mustangs with white stripes, and a light color wheel. If I had your car, I would get a mesh style wheel such as CCW classics. If those are too pricey XXR makes similar style wheels.

ok for now i would like a body kit!
the front bumper needs replacing and the rear has rubbs in it from a tow truck sling?
so i am looking for a kit that replaces the front and rear bumpers and the roker moldings too,, the last owner was an idi0t for a car with 18000 miles on it there are dings and marks every place you look it took 5 hours to clean off the black grime from baton rouge la .no it was not in a flood just covered with gooie black tree sap. as i said i got her cheap or i would not went 1100 miles for her ...i love the car and my best friend is an body man/painter so that will be the easy part!!

I personally like the GT/CS front & rear pieces... the Steeda kit is nice as well. There are also kits by Shelby, Saleen & Cervini to consider.

It really comes down to what YOU like most *your the one that has to wash it after all*
