I have added Euro Tail Lights and Chrome Mustang lettering as shown above. But What else can I do cosmetic wise to my stang to help it look a little better. My new headlights are coming and Im too broke for a body kit haha. So what else can I do?
I generally go with the KISS rule. You might consider removing the running horses -the grille is too crowded with the foglights, and removing the ones on the side will make your pinstriping "pop".
You'll have to fill in the holes, but you seem to want to go for a european look, so do as teh euros do and remove all the badging and focus on the lines.

I put a aftermarket Cobra hood on mine . It didn`t cost that much and makes the car standout . The other benefit to this was the after market hood weighs only a few pounds as compared to the stock heavy thick fiberglass hood . Now if you look around some there are alot of different aftermarket styles to choose from that will give your stang a look all it`s own ! SAve some money and ask if it can your christmas / birthday present too .
I also have the aftermarket headlights . They made a world of difference in the looks of the front end . BY far a much Nicer look than the yellowed out lens that most older mustangs have . I am very happy with mine . Just keep the buying /shipping info in case you would ever have to replace one . That way you can go right back and get the same as before .
Another thing you can do is a image search and see if there is something out there that you really like . Maybe a different stripe kit ( do you have photo shop skills to make a orignial design ? ) , side window or 1/4 vents that Look like what the classics sported , I really like the looks of side exhaust ( ford raceing ) or even something as simple as window tint . Give a look on eBay at times and see whats out there . Just use your mind and go with what you like for in the end that is all that matters . Best of luck and let us know how things goes

I too am in the KISS club. I think many times less is more… and sometimes MUCH more. Heck, my 94 does not even have a spoiler on it.. and never will. I like a clean classy look, and am not into the Euro styles or “tuner” looks with overdone ground effects and huge hoods that don’t do much more than make the hood huge.
I think keeping it simple in today’s world of “bling” is a bling unto itself.
Here is my clean ride…..

Thanks guys , I wanted something different from the rest but not ricey . I am not a big fan of the oversize wheel/tire look . and I live rural with some bad raods .
I am doing about the same thing to my 01 . something flashy but with some taste . But that car has a ways to go .

LOL Same here. Get those tire rubs as it is and bottoming out too? It is one of the things that keeps me from running right out and going slightly larger in wheels and lowering it a bit…. as well as funding.
