Get the bumper inserts if you dont already. dark insert on light colored cars, and vice versa. They look very nice if properly done. Also, mustangtuning has nice shifter *****, license plate frames, and stuff. Just take a look arond the site and you'll definitely find something you like. And purchases over $50 gets you FREE SHIPPING. Mustangtuning rocks.

as spike said. Wheels and tires would make it look and handle a lot better. I just bought 4 factory 5 star Gt rims with tires off ebay for $300 shipped. The tires only had less than 500 miles and they look brand new. My fronts are almost bald, and my backs i put nitto DRs on the back, When i bought the car 2 months ago the tires were hurting.

I got 4 more factory rims for easy switching if its gonna be a rainey week. Plus i got them for cheaper than if i went to a tire store and just bought 2 tires after u figure in mounting. Ive got a big floor jack and compressor and impact gun. I could change all 4 in 3 to 5 minutes. Since i put the subframe connectors on its easy to jack up the left or right side of the car.

My point is you can find killer deals in the www.corral.net forums classifieds and ebay. Look around in the V6 section.

If you already have some nice tires and rims, Lowering springs are cheap and give a better look and cornering.

How much do you have for mods?

Ouch $30 budget. Mustang mods arent cheap. Id start saving a little everyweek instead of blowing little bits at a time.

I got my car for a good price and had a budget instead of buying a newer stang. I did all my mods at once in the last month. Cept for maybe getting a new throttle body and plenum. Im done and happy and not dreaming about any other mods.
