Hey everyone, its been a while. I have been think of what i wanna do to my 2005 yellow stang. I am in love with the gt-r concept mustang. I want to make my car look similar, plus add some performance upgrades. I am saving up some money. I am not that familiar with aftermarket parts, so any sugguestions will be greatly appreciated. here is a pic of the concept....http://media.cars.ign.com/media/497/497268/imgs_1.html

unlike the phoney baloney factory spoliers found on a typical mustang ......
these (at least) are fully functional.

at 100+ mph, just like most rear end spoilers. At the speeds we drive our cars 99.9% of the time, we never need rear down force. The front can help with gas mileage, but the rear, just for looks. But to me, the looks of that spoiler fits a Civic better than a stang.

bang for the buck; headers won't help much. And from the little I've read here and at other forums a true dual does not increase hp either. A V6 running minus even a muffler lost hp on the dyno. The stock cast iron exhaust manifolds are really well made. I would go with the Brenspeed cold air intake and a tune, you need it for the CAI anyway. A quality muffler will increase hp and give you a better sound. Other than that, gears and a T-Loc will be your best bet for faster 0-60 times. After that I would consider a 70 mm throttle body.
Believe it.
There is a reason that some of the GrandAm and SCCA cars REMOVE or DELETE the "spoiler". Most folks don't understand that in the world of vehicle engineering and aerodynamics, a "wing" and a "spoiler" perform totally different functions.
LECTURE TIME KIDS....
Get out your #2 pencils. 
In race applications "wings" are utilized. They are ugly as he** but, they are designed to create a direct and deliberate effect on handling and downforce. They are usually manufactured to be fully adjustable to suit the needs of the vehicle and track configuration. It takes a well-tuned and educated person to calculate the exact set-up of an adjustable wing.
"Spoilers" are used on most cars for looks or function. Those that are functional are installed to disrupt the airflow going over the car to reduce any "lift" that is inhenet in the body design. (Just look at an Evo, STI, my TA). In essence a spoiler increases the turbulence flowing over body design. This increases tire contact with the road, which increases traction which assists with turning, braking and accelateration.
The design of an immobile fixed design spoiler can either increase or hinder performance based on design and mounting. Most fixed spoilers on modern sports cars are designed to assist with low to moderate speed lift issues. Yeah, that it does but there is nothing more butt-clenching then an improperly designed rear spoiler at high speeds.
In the end it really depends on what you will be using your car for and for what percent of time.
