Hello. First of all I would suggest besides posting here, join up on some of the v6 mustang boards. I just got rid of my v6, so I've been a member on one for a few years. I suggest www.3.8mustang.com/forum/

I wouldnt tell them you want carbon fiber tail lights though. Those are usually concidered rice (thats a bad thing). If you want to start out with a few modifications, I would suggest a CAI (cold air intake), dual exhaust / underdrive pulleys.

Not only will this help gas mileage out a little, but you will get the cool sound of louder exhaust.

If you want to get more extreme, I would suggest aftermarket gears. I would only go with Ford Motorsport gears though. Right now you have 3.27s, I put 4.10s in my v6. Made it fun to drive, though you have to get a chip to fix the speedometer since the gears screw it up.

With intake / exhaust / pulley you would see probably 15 extra horsepower or so.

Mineral Gray is nice, but nothing compares to black.

That is true

Black is so much work to keep clean but its worth it when you turn heads crusing down the street.

I had a MAC in the fender kit and a Densecharger kit on my 6...neither one really impressed me...I would go with a MAC Straight shot, or a STEEDA kit (if they make one for a 6). The Chin Spoiler will look great! Throw in a Mach 1 grille delete kit too while your at it!
