I just had my new rims and tires put on (315 40 17 in the rear, and 255 40 17 in the front). I am trying to decide if I should do appearance or performance next. I can't make up my mind, so I am curious as to what you would do. I have $5,000 in parts I am going to buy, I just don't know what to start with. For appearance I am going to get: Roush stage 3 body kit w/wing and side exhaust, carbon fiber hood, fog lights, mach 1 grille delete, mach 1 chin spoiler, and side scoops.
For performance I am going to get: Throttle body, TLok w/ 4.10 gears, short throw shifter, pulleys, headers, high flow cats, new clutch and fly wheel.
Any help is really appreciated. Thanx in advance.
^^^x2 i would most definitely go with performance parts...

Best advise i can give is drop that TB off your list unless your just trying to get better throttle control out of it and get a Tuner along with all those mods... dyno tune canned tuner which ever, it just makes your car come to life

July 7, 2009 - 4.10 gears w/ tuner
soon to come long tube headers...
Thanx for all the help. I did forget to mention that I also am getting a tuner and an aluminum driveshaft. Well, it definately looks like I should get performance first. I appreciate all the input.
+3, 4, whatever... Go performance. Since you have rims, and your avatar looks like you have tint also - you already have a bad-ass looking car. Now it's time to make them fear you.
But yeah, ditch the TB and probably the headers and get it tuned! And maybe get one of the appearance mods now too...

Cool. I will not get the TB and headers. I will probably start with the gears, driveshaft, and tuner. Thanks for all the input. I AM GOING PERFORMANCE FIRST.
ya i got my car when i was 16 and my dad said NO preformance parts for a year or two so i can get better at driving, so i spent about 4,500 on apperence and i still need some new rims lol but now that im allowed to get preformance parts i wish i would have just saved that money, my stang could've been a procharged sleeper oh well at least its pretty lol
