Default What Next?!?!?!?

well my birthday is coming upi next week and everyone keeps asking what i want.......
which leads me to ask my fellow mustang owners, "What I want for my B-day presents?"

mind you i do not have an unlimited budget, so no X.....i am leaning towards an Aluminum DS

anything else i should consider, i like to go before i show, so the car is mostly stock with the exception of mods in my sig, new Sony radio, 2 1000 Watt amplifiers, 2 10" sony xplod 1100 watt, and custom hand built by me speaker boxes and amp rack

Rims? I don't see rims listed in your sig. I'd say exterior is next. then a DS. post some pics up, satin silver FTW.

some 20" rims would be nice but they are out of reach
and headers are cheap enough not to waste them for one of my gifts

reallistically the budget is prob like 800-1000 dollars

20's will just slow you down!

I say go for the "go" mods for sure! Since you are a manual, I would say go with the CHE Kmember brace w/tq limiters ( http://powerhouse411.com/catalog/ind...products_id=91 ) and some LCA's (I run these on my car http://powerhouse411.com/catalog/ind...;products_id=1 ) in there so you can get your power to the ground. Maybe then panhard bar and brace as the stock panhard bar is pretty heavy (filled with lead beads). So to summarize:

KMember Brace w/TQ limters: $170 (rounded up)
LCA's: $128
Panhard Bar and Brace: $230
Take off bullits: $300-400

All the manual guys swear by the kembmer brace and tq limiters, smoother shifts, etc. Following the above, look at things like DS, anti squat brackets, uca, etc.
