I'm not a huge fan of the side exhaust thing, so I say go with the mach look. You can't go wrong with it.

Side exhaust looks sick imo, but I have heard its a bitch to live with cuzz it scrapes everywhere being so low. Just look around at other members pics. Your bound to find some ideas you'll like.

Stick with a vintage look. Take advantage of the unique modern-retro design of the S197.

I have a Full Cervini's Body Kit "Eleanor C500" with Air-Ram Hood... If you have Stock Wheels (16" 17") then you will need or at least want to get new rims and tires 20" is what I got BEFORE you go with the side exhausts, and even then you are going to scrape at certain places and depending how you pull into a parkinglot/driveway with steep entries. Speedbumps are now your enemy...

Eventually I will get another Mustang and do up a Retro "Boss" style Mustang (on a V8).

You really can't go wrong with Cervini's, their stuff is the best out there as far as fitting correctly...

If you are just looking at Hood and Splitter/Front End Mods, then you can keep your Stock Wheels... But like I said, Exhaust requires 20" basically, and even then you have 3.5 inch of clearance from the bottom of the pipes to the ground... And on steep entries, it disappears quick...

They do sound amazing though!

Anyways, not trying to scare you away, as I LOVE my Cervini's Kit and Exhaust, just forwarning you so you don't make the same mistakes I did...
