Know its more than you asked for, but here is a write up I did on another site relating to appearance mods. Be careful with body kits, they can weigh the car down, especially the fiberglass ones.

This is a cheat sheet for appearance modifications for the S197. Please feel free to make suggestions for things to be included.

Pony Builder

This is a great site for determining the best appearance mods for your stang. Lets you pick and choose wheels, louvers, lowering springs, the works.

Stripes

With the retro look of the S197, stripes are an easy and cost effective way to give your pony even more of that retro styling. Here are some links that you may find useful:

S197 Stripe Painter:

http://www.spectrummarcom.com/mustang/stripePainter.html or http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/timeline/05/05/stripes.htm

There are two ways to go about putting stripes on your car, paint of vinyl. You will have to inquire with a local body shop for painting them on, but here are some sites for vinyl stripes that have proven reliable:

Baltimore Street Mods: http://www.baltimorestreetmods.com/
Baltimore Street Mods Ebay Store: http://stores.ebay.com/BaltimoreStreetMods
Graphics Express: http://www.2005-mustang.com/

Window Tint

Tint is another option for our cars to give it that meaner look. Inquire with your local mustang club for referrals on window tint.

GT take offs

A very popular option on our cars! With rouse, saleen, foose and other companies creating their own version of the new S197, there is so far enough surplus for us sixers to obtain these take offs at an affordable price. Some kits include mufflers, bumpers, grille, leather seats, and fog lights. Here are some sites you can go to:

Thank you for the list of all those links dude

rygenstormlocke said it right, body kits usually end up looking like a 1.6 liter civic with a HUGE wing and all kinds of ill fitting parts grafted on.

My advice; find a look you like, and research that until you know what it will take to achieve that look. Some people like to put GT front and rear fascia's on. I'm not a fan of that but maybe you will be. Some tastefully added exterior parts can really bring out a great look. But not all of them do.

Go to Cervinis, go to American Muscle, go to CDC and the others that rygenstormelocke linked to and see what it is you really like. Then start shopping around for parts. Ask alot of questions here about where to get the parts, what it takes to install them, how well do they hold up, any problems with them, etc. That way you'll be informed and have a clear idea of where you want to go w/your car.

I love the Saleen style, but that's just me. You make your car what you love, good luck !
 
I just want to get rid of those stupid black plastic side skirts and get some different ones, maybe a ram air hood and the Silver Horse Racing Flush Mount Window Louvers, other than that, I like the way my car looks.
