What happens if racing isn't your cup of tea? Maybe, you just want a little more power on the road; or perhaps, your just want to keep a favored old car in working condition. What can an average person do to make their car stand out a little in a crowd?

The Mustang has catered to the tuning industry since it was first developed. Performance Mustang parts are even available from the manufacturer, Ford Motor Company. Also, accessories for the Mustang, ranging from chrome lock buttons to wheels, are easy to find.

It is possible to buy supercharger kits for your car, if you don't mind losing you warranty, that make huge power gains, for only about $3000. Or, you can check the Mustang parts bin for a new exhaust and some headers, install them and have more horsepower while letting your car sound better and at no damage to your warranty.

Wheels are an easy place for an owner to give their car a little personality. The trend is toward bigger wheels with low-profile tires. They're very street racer, but tend to run rougher and nosier than stock tires. And that can be tiring when driving home after a long day at work. The good news is you can also go the other way to smaller wheels with fatter tires and taller sidewalls for a smoother ride, without sacrificing too much of the looks.

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.
