I second the flows. They can be had off ebay for less than $70/ea (40-series "Original Flows"). Arguably one of the best sounding mufflers you can install on a 5.0.
Just dont forget that the meanest thing you can do for looks is to drop it and get some fat 315s out back.
My little checklist would look like this (limited for money sake):
Exterior
1. Springs (Ford Motorsport C-springs $110 bucks)
2. Wheels (I like your thinking with the FR500s. Awesome, but NO white)
3. 315s out back
-If you can afford it- Headlights and cobra R hood
Power
1. Offroad pipe and mufflers. Forget headers. They are NOT worth the money when you are on a budget. Forget SLP. Most people are going to tell you they sound just like a truck with straight pipes. Get some flows. Cheap and sounds good.
2. Gears
-No other bolt ons are worth it when on a budget.
Just remember its not going to be worth putting a bunch of money into little performance mods cause its not gonna be fast no matter what. You gotta really dig into the motor or get a power adder to do anything worth while. Thats why I say make it sound good and get some gears so its not a complete joke and save the rest of your money to do something worth while.
If he has enough money to do the mods we are suggesting, he has enuf $$ to change the color of the top. That's the last I'll say about it but if you really like driving around in a car with a white top then its your preference and thats all that matters.
There's also a set of MAC 1 3/4" long tubes with about four hours left on eBay right now with no reserve.
I really wish I could experience it. In fact I am gonna change my top to white.

Black Stampede - Don't forget your pink shirt.
Oh, my bad. I wasn't selling them. I didn't realize that constituted a for sale thread. Won't happen again.First off, 1 3/4" headers are overkill for anthing but a serious performer....and second, no sales threads in Talk/Tech sections.
Tell your son to repaint the top "white" and please report back his exact remarks back to you.And yes that is a cool looking car.

Why does your radiator hose look like its from a shop vac?
Take it from someone who has a white top you definately don't need to change the color of it, I know I have gone through that stage AND i have gone through the stage of planning on getting white wheels when i first got my car in 2005 also. But 4 years later and many of the mods people already mentioned in this thread my car is finally somewhat to where I want it to be (i have the mod bug, im never satisfied) Get a drop, tint, headlights and some exhaust and the bada$$ factor will rise significantly, I eventually would like a cowl hood to really bring it up a notch, heres how she looks white top and all today:
