www.californiamustang.com or www.atlantaauto.com or www.silverhorseracing.com. You should do what you like and customize it to your taste. Except... No blue LEDs or fartcan mufflers We have to draw the line somewhere.

It is an awesome deal at $325 painted!!

You already had a hood in mind but, here is the one I'm getting next week; Suncoast Creations

Yea that spoiler is a deal and that hood is pricey...

What do you mean by full exhaust? If you mean catbacks don't get them as axleback are just fine and much less!!

aight so w/ exhaust there's a few ways to go...

#1 Axel Back- just replaces mufflers and sounds great
#2 Cat Back- like #1 but includes pipes that go from the catylitic converters to the mufflers
#3 H/X Pipe- Replaces factory H-pipe and/or catylitic converters
#4 Headers- Long tubes are typically illegal but are the best option, shorty headers are essentially useless from my understanding

So ya, that's basically it bro.. As you move from #1-#4 horsepower will gradually increase and the car will get increasingly louder. Go with a good set of Axel Backs for like $400 or so... easiest mod to turn heads.

I want to add, again that catbacks are a waste of money, just get the axlebacks. If you ever get long tubes they normally come with your mid pipe, X or H, and as mentioned shorties is a waste of money.

In short; long tubes for power, which are expensive and illegal in Cali, mufflers (axlebacks) for looks and sound. Some get an Xed mid pipe for a different sound and some more power in the mid register, maybe even a few HP at peak...

www.classicdesignconcepts.com has a lot of great stuff so you might want to check them out. The 05-07's don't sound bad in stock trim but definately invest in a set of axle-backs. Check out different sites like
www.brenspeed.com
or
www.americanmuscle.com

to see what they offer. There are plenty to choose from!

Be sure to balance your appearance and performance mods so you have a nice mix of both. What has helped me in the past is to just type out a list of all the appearance and performance mods you want and put the prices next to them. Build the list as you discover and inform yourself about new items and then prioritize by what you can afford. It will keep you motivated and give you a clear direction on what's right for your car.

Good luck!

If you want to keep it simple, just get yourself a bolt-on axleback. You'll have the improved sound to go with no worries about your warranty.

I just put JBA exle exhaust on from Summit and a AME bruteforce air intake, Sounds really good to me and I can tell a difference. Not a big difference with the air intake, but it looks really purtty under the hood. Saving for a tuner. Same color as yours with the old stlye rims, looking to tint and add some scoops. Next big one will be a hood.
