ha, he beat me to it... i was gonna say you might get some negative words on that underglow... i however like it, if it's on a fast car b/c nobody can say anything (gfcom)
you might want to hold off on ext. mods to begin with and go for 'go before show' mods. i'd like a awesome hood/bumper too, but wanna have lots of pwr to back it up
hope that info helped with cai- q's anytime.

My recommendation would be holding off on the asthetic mods for a bit and throw a few cheap motor mods on. Pick up some underdrive pulleys and some shorty headers on ebay. Go with headers for an 87-93 fox, that way you won't have to mess with the EGR garbage. A very simple metal plate can be stamped out to cover the mounting bracket for the EGR pump.
A bigger throttle body is always a good idea. BUT, unless you install an intake that also has a larger opening, you are going to have a bottleneck in air flow. You might even lose some power by going too big without compensating for it in other places related to air flow. I'll telling you, the pullies and headers will make a difference. You can also run a shorter drive belt in order to by-pass the smog pump.

Car looks great. Id ditch the underglows tho sell them to some local ricer.
For preformance start with gears. Get 3:73 gears in the rear end. That is the best bang for the buck. Then I would get full exhaust and headers.

its a nice contrast to all the leather interiors i've seen.
my car is a 5 speed, i was thinking 3.73 or 4.10, and i've read a few posts on here, haven't yet figured which one yet. any more info on the shorter belt? i haven't even looked to see if mine has a smog pump.

Personally, I think you car looks really nice. The paint seems to be in great shape as well. If everything is clean in that department, I would go with the go-fast mods.
But, whichever way you decide to go, here is the place to be. You can probably find pictures of any color stang with any hood/bumpers/side skirts combination. So if you like how, for instance, a specific bumper looks, do a search & you will be able to see it on the actual car.
Same goes with engine/suspension/etc mods. There are tons of different combo's and people always report back when the install something new. That was the first thing I did when I installed my o/r x-pipe and my 3.73's.
Gears are the greatest bang for the buck modification you can do, without a doubt. If you go with 4.10's, you won't be sacrificing much. I wish I did, now that I have the 3.73's. It's a whole new car; I kid you not!!
As of now, I am saving up for h/c/i (I have $1200 now, but I want to get the trick flow kit & do it all at once). I already have traction problems; I can't wait until the h/c/i to see what happens.
Just doing a MAF or TB won't gain you any noticeable power as you sit. After h/c/i, you might notice it.
Start with gears, then an intake manifold, and go from there. Instant & dyno proven 22rwhp with the new intake manifold.

I also say go with gears first. 3:73's would waken your car up drastically, but most people i know around here with almost stock GT mustangs go with 4:10's to compensate for the less power from higer modded cars or some cobras. Might be better for you. Another verrry easy mod that will give you some good high end hp, is to bump up your timing to 14-16 degrees. It'll give you about 5-8 hp to the wheels. Good luck.
