Default Modification ideas on 1991 LX V4 Mustang

I have a black, totally stock 1991 Lx V4 Auto transmission and I am looking to start working on it a little bit. I don't have a lot of money and would probably be more inclined to improve the looks of the car since I don't race. A cheap performance upgrade would be nice though.

I was thinking about maybe rims and a tint and a body kit but I don't have any idea to see how it would look with those

Thinkin about http://www.grounddynamics.com/Templa...ubFolderId=578 body kit

If anyone could make some suggestions for some less expensive upgrades for my mustang that would be awesome, or if you could post some pics of what you have done maybe I could get some ideas from that.

By the way, I would assume there are additional costs for painting/installing the body kit? I would probably need to paint the whole thing right? I doubt I could find paint made to look as old as mine lol

What's a V4?

Browse around the "Gallery" section of this website and pull up the Fox Body pictures so you can get some ideas on cosmetic upgrades.

Johnson/Evinrude have been making V4 2-stroke outboards for decades. Most of which put out more horsepower than a typical Ford 2.3L I4
