Good looking car. Congratulations on your purchase. Take care of that girl. So, does the car have a name?

I'm in the minority here. I prefer performance mods over cosmetic. I think the car looks great as is. I would go for an K&N air filter, upgraded brake pads, best performance tire you can afford.

Next up is the stereo. Getting a nice sounding system make driving so much more fun.

You have the M271 eninge right? I'm sure you already know, There is not a whole lot more improvement to the engines power output.

Umm, I just didn't get what you were saying. In any case, recall the Mustang 5.0. I would say it was about the late 80s. Maybe 87 or 88. You could get a 5.0 sans the body kit, or you could get the gawdy, louvered rear lights GT. I always enjoyed it when a clean car just kicks the crap out of some garish car.

To each their own. But I typically go with a stock looking car.

Very nice! I too have an 03 C230 SS in Silver and am more partial to our body kit than the new ones. Ours looks more natural to the car IMHO. I say drop it, tint it and throw some wheels on her and be done.

Your attitude is very level headed about not rushing into mods.

Oh yeah, don't forget to pick up a flat white star badge from DFWDUDE! Have fun with her.
Here is mine
