Default Need some tips..

Well I'm brand new to the site so HELLO indeed....

I drive a 2001 3.8L V6 Mustang and am looking for some easy DUI mods Engine/Exterior that wont run me to far into debt...

I got the car in May for my 16th birthday with 130k miles on it but its runs 100% percent perfectly...With the only mods on it being Cat-back Exhaust and a K&N Air Filter and that's just not enough for me...

So HOPEFULLY with some help from you guys I will be on my way to making my Stang the car of my dreams;

Just a bit more info...I really want to mod the exterior first and get to the engine mods later...THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!

Thanks I looked around the site for a bit now and have found some amazing wheels that I think will fit my car perfectly...And I must say for 580$ and FREE shipping is one heck of a deal!
