Summertime cash
Ok, so I have a waiting gig this summer and I'm estimating that I'll have about $100/week to burn on my stang. It is currently completely stock and I have $260 bucks in a jar reserved for stang spending.
What do I do and when do I do it?
Go.

Start with an exhaust (single(flowmaster/gttakeoff) or duals(frpp kit, pypes kit, etc) and then a tune and cai. I had a single gt takeoff, and for about 90$ it sounded great! Ive heard flowmasters sound good too.
If you want looks then maybe stripes? or sequentials? hood scoop? window louvers? The possibilities are endless...

-C&L CAI w/ Xcal3 tuner from bamachips
-Exhaust, pypes dual kit or FRPP kit, or a nice single
-Better tires or rims
-Lower the car/New shocks
-T-Lok w/ 3.73 or 4.10 gears or 8.8 rear end
As for appearance mods, side C striping/Boss striping will look great on your car

I had a couple issues with striping the roof.
1. I don't want strips of tint ruining the view from the inside
2. The tint probably wouldn't even show up since the roof is already tinted and appears black from the outside.
I do really dig those Boss stripes though... Whose car is that?

+1 for boss stripes. Black gt spoiler, and black hood scoop, with the black boss stripes would be a killer combination!
I dont think they put the stripes over the sunroof, but probably just cut out that section.
Grabber orange is an awesome color btw

Shop around for that exhaust kit. I have started a couple threads recently about the cheapest way to get there. This is what I would do first and in about two weeks will be. Then its off to a CAI/tune from bama and 4.10's 
But it really come down to wanting looks or go fast mods. For not too much you can get some side scoops and louvers. That would make it look pretty mean IMO.
