FRPP front control arms are the same as stock 99-04 control arms. Unless you have bad ball joints and bushings, they are worthless (I had them at one point, but I had bad ball joints heh). Some say they have "stiffer cobra bushings" but when directly comparing them to my stock 04 GT bushings they were the EXACT same material.

If you want more looks mods, go for a hood or wheels or something... if you want better driving experience - go for MGW shifter for sure, maxmotors suspension stuff is always great, some new seats would be sweet, or maybe a pair of coilovers and do the other pair later

Ya benny- I really want my car to look different compared to the 237,768,968,777 Mustangs in my town. Plus, my hood is pretty dicked up . It has stress/pressure cracks all over it.

On the flip side my car lacks suspension. I like having my B-day and Christmas so close together

Shifter and SFC's are a must on our cars. Spend the rest on NHRA Winter National tickets at Pomona in November.

What about brakes? You have plenty of "go", but unless I'm missing something, you're still running the crappy V6/GT brakes. Get some tooth-chippers!

+1 subframes and shifter.

Or maybe stereo stuff?

If I had $700, I'd probably get a nitrous kit, but that's me.

Wish I had your problem.

I'm going to hold off on the rims because my tires are only 5 months old. I'm going to buy 18" saleen rims sooner or later

I would get LT's but CA is so gay, they are illegal

I think I'm going with the Cobra R hood. My car has enough speed (for now ) so I'm going to work on appearance.

Personally I would get a nitrous kit. That is just me though. Either that or a 03 Cobra hood.

In your situation, get the Cobra R hood.

Ya I make really good money ......so I'm going to spend all that money now before I get a house/wife/kids

I found a clean used cobra hood already painted black for really cheap, so hopefully I'll get it. That would leave me with about $2-300 extra .

A gun would be pretty sweet. My TV is ****ty, but I'm mainly on the internet LOL. So I dunno....my extra cash is still fair game. Maybe a mach grill delete and some LCA's.

Tubular K-Member or Sub Frame Connectors.

If you get the PA Racing K-Member you can reuse your stock A arms and front suspension and not have to switch to coil-overs.

I can't believe you don't already have an aftermarket shifter on that car.. You should do that mod before you even consider anything else. I have a tri-ax on my car and the difference from stock is night and day. Having said that, I'm sure there are plenty of people here who would make the same case for pro 5.0/mgw/hurst/etc(non-stock) shifters.
