Talking New here and need help on the mustang i might buy!

Hey guys whats up!
Well i am about to get my first car (woohoo!!) lol.
I am thinking of buying this guys 96 mustang convertible that is really clean, all it needs is a tail light and a new rear window and he had cut part the exhaust off to make it louder for $1500. It has a new motor put in within the past 2 years and he has some aftermarket rims on there.
Is it good or what?
I can give yall a link to the pics of it.

I work at a paint and body shop and i am really good friends with the owner so i can get great deals on parts if i want but most of all i can paint it for free cause i am a painter in training there and the other painters said they will do it for free with me and what not and i am wondering what color to get?
I am thinking a bright metallic orange with black metallic stripes down the middle or all metallic black with bright metallic orange stripes down the middle. or all metallic black with like gold brown strips down the middle. Any other ideas?

I am also thinking about blacking out the lights and i was looking at buying a body kit and selling the rims that are on there right now to get some cheaper ones that are all black. For right now i am just wanting looks cause i am sorta buying so my mom can have something nice to drive everyonce in awhile cause she has never really had a nice car, so i will save the motor work etc for the future.

Any help would mean alot guys, Thanks!

Welcome to the forums. Go to the photo gallery and look around. No one can tell you how to make your car look nice. You have to make it yours. The gallery will give you ideas. For me I wanted stripes, not everyone likes them, but it is my car.
