Mountaineer Upgrades

What the first thing i should do to the 97 Mountaineer v8 AWD i just bought?

I was thinking in the lines of performance chip, flowmaster, euro corners, neons, sub? Any suggestions on what upgrade i should do first to my Mount for under 100dollars?

Mountaineer Upgrades

I'm tring to reply to a post, i hope I'm doing it right, its my first reply. ---I installed a Cat back Borla exhaust and an K&N air tube on my 97 Limited explorer and made a difference after 2800rpm, I would guest it gave me a 20hp increase. (it didn't hurt my fuel intake -still 20mpg) I bought the stuff on ebay. I paid app $300us for both. The borla exhaust was used.

Are you wanting the looks first, or performance first?

For $100, unless you find things on EBay as fiddler says, you won't see much under $100. The front clear corners will be under $100, or wind visors, etc.

I can recommend tons of things to get, so give me a starting place you want to go from...
