Default 2005 Mustang V6- Need Ideas on what to do to it

I bought a 2005 satin silver mustang V6 with black racing stripes in August of last year and so far ive tinted all the windows. 5% in the back and 35% on the front two. As far as performance ive just recently put dual exhaust on it(flowmaster 40 series) and i think it sounds pretty good. Im only 18 and this is actually my first car. I have a pretty good amount i can spend on my car so im open to ideas as to what i should do. im leaning towards doing all accessory parts and making it look fast but also im wondering if its worth it putting a lot of performance into a V6 so if i could get some ideas i would really appreciate it.

no sense in just making it look fast, might as well make it GO fast. all you need is a CAI/TUNE, thats the first order of business, then maybe some gears, and N2O to top it off, then you got one fast v6. some suspension/brake upgrades would help you handle that speed as well

For starters get yourself a GT take-off rear sway bar. They cost about $90 and will dramatically improve your handling with only a 30-40 minute install time.

Also if you don't have leather seats then get yourself some take-off leather upholstery. Its one mod I guarantee you won't regret.

You can get takeoff leather seats at newtakeoff.com also it's a good idea to get a CAI and tuner for your first performance mod.

before you go to aesthetic mods i would get some performance mods. Best bang for your buck short of forced injection (super or turbo) is a CAI and Tuner. Check out bamachips.com. They have plenty of combo deals i think for 600 bucks.

Its your car so do what you like but i don't understand the look fast but not go fast thing. I know its a 6 but if you put in a full list of boltons, and a low set of gears, you could take some stock 04 gt's
