Question Gears Louvers, Rims,Stipes or Blower. What should I do first on 2007 Mustang?

I am torn at this idea. It is a good situation to be in, but i'll make it simple. I am going to be able to put away about 500$ a month just for my 07 v6. At that rate, I could get gears louvers and rims and stipes in about 7 months or so OR a Blower in about 9 months or so. If it were you, what would you do?! I just cannot decide. There are so many pros and cons in my mind for both of the options.

ps. My warranty is up and not an issue.

gears. i drove one with posi lock 4.10. i loved it talk about punch for a 6 cyl.

so what did i do? bought them i bought a hood scoop t loc bearing kit and 4.10's for $403. installed for $250. they are fun
my 6 cyl off the floor had a 6.1 sec 0-60. currently my best is 5.28

(dual exaust, short shifter k&n filter only)

my gears will be here monday and in by tuesday i look to shave off some more time.

my car is that one in 500 car that everything lined up perfect its unique from any other V6 ive seen even one with same options. its jsut dead on, i think thats why im in the low 5's already.

but gears..bang for buck.

what you're thinking of Spencer88 is the Shaker hood scoop.

if you've got a 5-spd car, put you a shifter in first and enjoy the new found fun even though it won't technically be faster, then pop in some 4:10's and you'll have what seems to be a completely stock V6 knocking on the door of about a 14.5 in the 1/4-mile. if you've got an auto, go 4:10's and enjoy them all the same and use the dough that you would've spent on the shifter on some of your cosmetic mods.

Dew - Get the rims, louvers, gears and stripes. It'll be easier and more fun because it'll be one thing after another rather than waiting and waiting and then finally one big thing.

You can always build funds slowly and blow it later.

If you decide to get louvers check out this website. They shipped them 2 days after I ordered painted to match for less than $200 and free shipping! Hubcaps Plus After Market Parts and Accessories For Cars, Trucks and SUVs

And they looked GREAT!

you should go power before appearance you dont want a car that looks faster than it is and sleepers are always respected by everyone who knows cars

I guess my question now is, Black 18 inch bullit rims, or 8.8 with 4.10s gears next?
