See my mods below...

I think I just kind of have cabin fever, the Mustang hasn't moved in a while, and I keep walking past it staring at it...We have 6-8 inches of snow supposed to fall tonight, so I know the car isn't moving any time soon...two inches are already on the ground.

So basically I am trying ti figure out maybe a small list of inexpensive tune-up/performance parts I might get for the car in preparation for sunnier days. I am happy with the looks of the car, just trying to get a little deeper...but the idea of buying one of these... Black Mustang LED Third Brake Light (99-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! ...or... Sylvania Silverstar 9005 Light Bulbs at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! has crossed my mind.

The MAIN thing I am looking for is performance and Tune up for under $300 each. I did a lot of appearance stuff this last few months.

Looking at your mod list the first thing I would do is get a SCT Xcal from american muscle.

I'd take it to the track, make about 20 passes on it, when the weather warms up.
