Get a rear sway bar under there ASAP.

Red W/Tan stripes do not look good IMHO.

Thats a good lookin stang.
Reminds me of when mine was stock.

Congrats! My first mods when I got my car are some of the ideas you have.

First, I took off the sides stripes - You definitely should, especially since the stripecolor is horrible.
Then, I got a C&L CAI/Tune andnew wheels and tires. Upgrading to a bigger tire andwheelsize has made handling a lot nicer too! Some of my best mods!!!
Most recently, I got the windows tinted. Looks great on these cars...especially the Red, white and black cars!

Moleskin the door trim and tint windows as dark as legally allowed for your state. Remove side stripe(free). Remove dealer decals if you have them(free). Shorty antenna($20.00). Interior trim Welts(cheaps), if you have seen them and like them. Most people replace the front grilles as one of their first major appearance mods. Wheels and tires are the ones that really make our cars look a lot different IMO. You might want stripes, but I would makes sure you have the spoilers (front and back) front and rear facia, and hood scoop before getting stripes, or you will be replacing stripes. Hood pin appearance kit? I think they look great on our cars .....American muscle ($66.00 shipped) I just ordered mine.

Any spoilers/scoops/rocker panels/.....all exterior appearance stuff needs to be looked into fairly well, as a lot of products come prepped for painting, but are not necessarily pre-painted. (especially Roush items) this is not true for others though. Be sure if you do body mods, you check for any paint requirements.

Great looking pony! she have a name yet?

Welcome to the forums.....drive safe.
