Default What would you do???

Hey everyone I just got my 2004 40th anniversary Stang all ive done so far in White gauges my Boss 327 20" rims get put on today! (ill get pics up) and I already got my audio system. So my question to all of you is what mods would you do next? I dont got the cash for a turbo or supercharger so cant do that but def want some more power or should i stay with apperance first? I was thinkin BBK C.A.I., w/ Mac Headers, H-Pipe, and Gt exhaust. But id like to hear what everyone else has to say?

Exhaust was one of the first things I did. I don't care what anybody says my reasoning is that every single time I drive my car I hear and enjoy that exhaust, and so do the people around me! SO it is worth every dollar spent even if the gains are not that much.

Upgrade suspension next, put some rims on it, and then pop the hood open and do a a few things in there. At least that's what I'm doing.

you can do the intake yuorself, its not that hard so dont waste your money for some one to install it, do you have a gt bumper already? cuz if you dont, be a lil different and get a cobra rear bumper, its a lil bit better styling and not as cliche. the hpipe and exhuast and headers will sound nice and free up your airflow, you'll notice a quicker response with your throttle too get some pics up fast! btw hows the ride with 20's? im gettin 19's soon so i wanna compare?

Man i was supposed to have my rims installed but the damn tires arent in yet! So I get to just sit here and look at the damn things till my tires get here on Mon or Tues. But no I dont have a GT bumper I was thinkin about a body kit I was leanin toward a Black Widow kit but then decided to stay with a actual Mustang kit but not sure which one yet? But my next mod is gonna be intake, headers, hpipe and exhaust for sure well maybe a turbo? I dont know but i do know 2nd gear in my car sucks! how do I change that? oh and everytime i try to upload a pic it says file is to big so how do i make it smaller?

if it were me i would sell the 20's b/c i got 18x10 fr500's and it kills performance, my car was much faster with the stockers on it. if i were to redo the rims i would go with some of those rims by steeda, the ultra lite II's to be precise. (17x9 all around.)

Well, if you really like the rims and you could always keep em and just plan on F/I for the future. Plenty of people who have 240sx', G35's, Altezza's, etc have 19 and 20" wheels and their cars still perform well because they have huge turbos on them and upgraded suspensions. What's your budget? If you are planning on doing the whole body kit thing you probably have enough to get a supercharger. Body kits are ridiculously expensive when all is said and done with purchase, shipping, paint, and install.

budget wise i make pretty good ching (between $900 to $1300 a week) right now its kinda tight because i took the summer off to party but im back to work now so money should be comin back in soon. I know my next upgrade I was plannin was intake, headers, h pipe, and gt exauhst (all done at once) , how much would it be to get a turbo or supercharger kit and have it installed? Should I just do that first?
