Default First Car

Alright, so it's senior year of high school and time to get a new ride. But since i worked the whole previous year, i had a nice little bit to spend.
So i go to ebay and i find a 02' Silver Mustang Coupe V6 with about 66K on it for $5500!!!!

So that's what i started with. I have put the Euro tailights on it, had crome detailing done to the air intake, the "mustang" logo on the bumper has chrome lettering, and i had 232 put in chrome on the back. my 3rd tailight says "mustang" i bought the 06' GT rims, got the smoke headlights, and have dual turbo-tip exhaust kit. The interior was all black, but i decided i wanted to have a 2 tone, so i painted all the removable parts silver, so i have a black base with silver on top (looks nice). And since i'm a kid and i like the loud music, i have 2 12" W3 JL subs with a 1100watt Kenwood 2-channel amp powering them.

Now here's where you fellas come in to play. Which should i do next: get my head unit, get tint done (thinking about going with 15 all around), get my 6x9's and amp (friends selling them to me with a 250 watt amp for $100), or go for the hi's (tweeters)?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Pictures would help. I just got a 07 V6 and the dead unite is fine for me. Altho I would like to put 2 10" subs in the back as a fill in, dont want it to over power what I wana hear.

Maybe upgrade the rear spoiler to a GT spoilier, a hood scoop. If the head unite is fine for you, no reason to upgrade it. is it a factory unite or a aftermarket?

any idea how much it would cost to do either?
i wanted the GT, but mom doesn't want a car whose speedometer goes over 140
a couple of my friends were telling me to get it supercharged, but i have no idea as to how much that would cost.
