I have a few things in mind, mostly visual though.

Before all things, I want dual exhaust. This GT takeoff is only $130. It should fit 94-03 models. Should I get that, or spend $300-$500 on a system? I'm not so much going for sound or performance, just dual exhaust. Also, does that go right on to what I have now, or do I need a connecting pipe? How much should I expect to pay to have that put on (I have a neighbor who owns a regular repair shop).

I definitely want to put some new bulbs in, so when I get the chance I'm going to buy Silverstars and put them in.

Next, I want to go with a GT bumper so the exhaust comes out the back and through the channels in the bumper. Can someone link me to where they got theirs?

Maybe a sun roof is next, I know my parents have no problem with that and they might actually put some money towards it. How much for custom sun roof?

I might get a superstripe kit from Baltimore Street mods and have that put on my Mustang, maybe not.

And lastly, I'd really like to put on the Mach 1 wheels. Here is a set of four wheels for $389, but they aren't exact Mach 1 wheels, like these from AmericanMuscle. How much would it cost to have the tires from my wheels put onto the new wheels (keep in mind my neighbor owns a regular shop, I just don't want to bother him about this all).

Edit: If it helps, I'm only 10 minutes from Evolution Performance (one of the sponsors here).

I guess I can expect around $400-500 for the bumper and exhaust, then $35 for Silverstars, $? for sunroof, $100 for stripes (without installation though), and $400 or $640 for the wheels, but I still have to get the tires on them.

How much do you think I could do all of this for?

for the bumper i would get a take-off and have it painted from ebay or mpsautosalvage, if u want a new one go to 50resto.com
sunroof, i would talk to 232 mustang he has one that was installed from a honda
for the exhaust, in my opinion do it once and right, i got divorced true dual flowmaster custom pipes from a shop for $295 and it sounds great
are your tires now 17" prob about $50 for the change in tires if they fit

I'm on a budget here, lol

v6stang07, if you really got it for $295 I am impressed. Would you suggest I bring that up at a shop, and say I'll just find another place that will do it for that much?

Also, my parents got like a three year warranty on it from the dealership, would that void the warranty?

you can do things right on a budget

besides, unless you live out in the boonies, you probably won't even need that much headlight power

You can do them right, but not the BEST

That's awesome v6stang, nice job.

Couldn't I just have the channels for the exhaust tips cut into my stock bumper? The two of them look the same.
