Your thread was a bit difficult to read but I'll try my best to respond. At the end of the day its whatever makes you happy. Are you unhappy with the performance of your car and do you want it faster? Or do you want it to look faster? Its all up to you, they all don't seem loike bad choices. And remember modifying your car is suppose to be fun! Don't get so worked up about it.

well heres my $.02 ....Power,,you can add power in phases as your funds become available.Set a power/performance goal and work towards that. The mustang looks good just sitting still so you have that covered.
A carbon Fiber hood isnt going to give you 10-20 hp at the rear wheels and after you get it you still neeed to paint and install it.
Power and performance.

Well if you want me to talk to you like I would my brother then i'd say something like...

"Take it easy, there's plenty of time to mod your car. Whatever you do, make sure you have some money saved up in case something happens and you need some dough ASAP. Always make sure you can pay your bills for the month, and put some halfway-decent food in your belly, but besides that; MOD YOUR ASS OFF."

But the way I was originally going to reply to this thread was by saying...

"Whats the question? The Mustang looks bad-ass off the lot, GO PERFORMANCE!"

The CAI and tuner is a great mod to start with power wise. Now lets see, what to do next... how about some gears?

I'd have to say this, where your money goes depends on what you do. if you take your stang to a track, or do any other kind of racing, mmm no comment, then id say performance. but if you dont do anything where you NEED to go fast, except occasionally race someone off the line, then put on some styling mods and turn some heads

Trying to remember back 20yrs when I was single. It all depends on your priorities. Here's my advice to a little brother.

1. If you want to impress the guys- go with performance.

2. If your single and want to impress the girls (and everything that goes with that, ahem)- go with styling.

3. Don't own a little dog and marry a woman with a dragon tattoo.
