We all know that Mustang parts cost money. "Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go" states this exactly. Unfortunately, what you pay for these parts only minimally increase the performance when racing. But for that little bit, it can cost thousands.

But what if you don't want to race? What if you just want to have a little more oomph between stoplights, or even just keep your old ride on the road? What's available for the average guy or girl who just wants to stand out a little in a car that everyone loves?

And the Mustang has always catered to the tuning industry. Mustang Ford parts, the performance kind, are even available from the manufacturer. And Mustang accessories, from wheels to chrome door lock buttons, are everywhere. The Mustang is a popular car.

You can get supercharger kits that make wicked power gains for about $3000, at the cost of your warranty. But with some headers and a new exhaust out of the Mustang parts bin, you can make a few extra horsepower, give your car a better sound, and keep the factory happy.

Wheels are a good place to start when you want to jazz up your car's personality. The tendency is to use larger wheels along with understated tires. They look a lot like a street racer but they're likely to run a bit rougher and louder than standard tires. That can be jarring when you're driving home after an exhausting day on the job. The good news is you can go with smaller wheels, fatter tires and higher sidewalls that will give you a smoother ride without have to skimp on your car's appearance.

Usually the last thing to cross someone's mind is car graphics. Not simply sponsor stickers that are present on race cars and that have recently become popular among street racers, but tribal patterns, flames, or even pinstriping reminiscent of the rockabilly days. Many variations are available for your specific year and model as a Mustang part. They are available in easy to remove vinyl sheets so that you can change them to suit your mood. They aren't a permanent commitment like a custom paint job, and they don't cost nearly as much.
