Hey guys, So I have some extra money in the bank and was think of dumping a little into the 'stang... I've really wanted a good CAI for a long time, but don't know if I want to spend $500+ for a good setup right now. I just have done some minor visual mods so far and am thinking the exterior is still missing something, just not exactly sure what that is... Please offer some suggestions for cost-effective visual mods or if I should just hold off and get the JLT+Evo Tune I've been eying for a while now.
As for exterior mods I am considering:
OEM-style Center Fog Grille
ROUSH hood scoop
Clear turn-signals
CDC Classic Chin Spolier (painted to match)
GT500 Wing
....if there's anything else to consider please share!
Also, just a minor question... I bought these slotted taillight covers (Moss Mustang Store - Parts and Accessories for your Ford Mustang) and still haven't installed them... Should I just black out the whole lights, install these, or just leave it as is? I am very undecided right now.

I say install what you bought. Someone was saying on another thread that you'd be sad if you black out your taillights and someone plows into you because they couldn't see the lights...plus, I like the red in the back.

+1 go with the parts. I'm not really sure the blacked out look with go as well with the color of your car.

if i had a coupe the first thing i would do is put rear window louvers on it. Then sit there and decide on the 1/4 window louvers since there are about 50 different kinds.
But a chin spoiler would go very well but i'd worry about clearance because i believe you said that you have a lowered stance.
For an exterior visual mod you would love the CDC Classic chin spoiler.....when I had it put on my vert I could not believe the difference it made in the look of the front of the car. My best visual mod since the CDC Light bar.

I agree... I had the blacked out tailight covers, which looked sharp, but were a tad bulky. When I removed the full covers I noticed that they rubbed on the reverse-light section of the taillights, causing minor scratches. I now added the slotted covers with the CDC sequentials, and couldnt be happier.
Go for the CDC Classic Chin Spoiler and Quarter Window Louvers. That should be about $500. We've got the same color car so check my profile.
Does the CDC chin sit any lower that the stock fascia? I specifically didn't lower the front of my car incase I ever wanted to add this part.
Before I got my wheels/springs I drove my friend's GT to get a feel for the ride (he had 20"s and Eibach ProKit) and just with that drop I couldn't get in my side of the driveway at home.... and he also has the window louvers which I couldn't stand when driving...
