thanks but do u mind explaining what each of those would do to my ride.

Cold Air Intake will give you a small boost in HP.
Gears (3.73 for manual, 4.10 for auto) helps with acceleration
Traction-Lock for differential. Keeps you from doing one wheel burnouts when you put your right foot into it. Mustangs have a live axle.

wheels for sure.... I have a satin silver '08. My first appearance mod (aside from the chrome exhaust tip till I get my duals) was I traded my grille for a Pony Package grille. I love it! It's so 60's looking.. I actually prefer it to the GT fog lamps grill... the smaller ones just differentiate it so much. At night it looks like it has little snake eyes or something.
any how... A GT hood scoop is pretty cool....have you considered stripes?? I like the "c-stripes" on convertables personally.

Wheels are a good place to start. AM has lots of exterior stuff, don't worry, it's easy to find.

I personally wanted a "show" car than a "high performance" car so I started with neon lights outside and inside the car. I then moved to a sterio system Clarion Sterio, Mach Speakers, Alpine Subwoofers, and 2 Amplifiers one for voice and the other for the subs. There is also a neon strip ontop of my sterio that strobes to the music. Then I got Blue HID lights for the from and blue fog lights on the bumper and smoked tail lights and tinted windows.

Next I am going to buy a Saleen body kit and center center exhaust system so it can look like a Saleen and the racing strips both ontop and on the sides but I'm going to add "Muzztang" instead of Mustang on the side stripes. And then finally work on the engine!

This is just what I did to give you some ideas of things you can do to you're car, I'm not saying do you car exactly like this or that you have to do anything like this at all! Just some ideas that might be helpfull!

But enjoy your new Mustang! I know it'll serve you well cause they're the best!

Also a short throw shifter will be great and If you ask agout brands I will go with MGW ftw.......

and make sure you get it tuned after all that.
