I think I have about $12,000 to spend on this car right now, and I think I will spend about $10,000 of that. Not all at once...probably within the next year or so. The money is actually all the money I've saved for "entertainment"...food, movies, games...but I think I want to spend it on my car instead. Still going to school so I have a while until I have to put downpayments on houses and things like that .

What would you guys do if you had $10,000 to spend on a stock mustang?

My thoughts are:
$2,000 on suspension work, not sure exactly what parts but I have a pretty good idea.
Possibly new rims...either GT500 or GT4 Either ones being about $800.
New exhaust system...I have no clue what to get or the price on that. Just know I like the older sounding rumbling. Probably no X-pipe.
Looking into some cosmetic pieces, rear spoiler (Roush or Cervinis), painted stripes (gold), CDC chin, and possibly a side louver..although I'm not real sure. Including paint, those could be about $2,000.
Last but not least I'm looking into getting a package from Brenspeed. Brenspeed Upgrade Package either stage 3 or 4. About $6,000. Packages are here- http://www.brenspeed.com/mustang_2005/saleen.html.

That is almost $11,000 without any installation...so I'm already over .

What would you guys do or suggest doing? I'd appreciate it if it was a little more detailed than mine, I was just giving a general idea what I had planned.

Edit. Forgot to add 3.73 gears.

Skip the cosmetics for now, get the added performance and better suspension. That should about but you more into your range.

i'd put 2k into the mustang and dump 10k into my portfolio so in 15 years i can have the baddest mustang ever and let the interest buy my mods while still aquiring more interest for gas and insurance

suspension -> brakes -> power adder -> tune

lol becuase right now i'm 20 insurance does not let me enjoy the full potential of the car, plus i love investing and the market. 10,000 compounding for 15 years can become A LOT of money lol. I'm just biased because I'm about to become and investment banker so I'm big on early investin. But in all seriousness I'd probably buy a set of rims/tires, full suspension, roush front fascia, roush spoiler, cervini side scoops and window louvers and cowl hood, then invest the rest, but only because i LOVE my car
