While everyone knows the best thing about a Roush Mustang is saying you own one, some don't have the green to plunk down for a genuine artifact. Realizing this, Roush Performance has made it easy on the performance world by offering the same Roush body kits that it bolt ons to its specially tuned Mustangs for V-6 and GT cars.
The six-piece '99-'04 kit will make the SN-95 into a Roush look-alike. Included is a front fascia kit, side skirts, a rear valance, and a wing with pedestals. Each piece is available separately, and the kit can be ordered with or without the rear wing. One extra needed part with the kit is the side-exit exhaust system.
The nine-piece '05 kit consists of a front fascia, a hoodscoop, rocker moldings, quarter-window louvers, a chin spoiler, a rear fascia, and a rear wing. The kit is also available separately. Like the '99-'04 kit, the '05 kit requires the special Roush exhaust system that comes standard on '05 Roush Mustangs.

If you're looking to stand out, then turning your '94-'98 or '05 Mustang into a Boss Shinoda car will do the trick. In addition to the two kits, Shinoda also has other body add-ons to dress up your Pony.
The Boss Shinoda Generation 1 body kit is for '94-'98 Mustangs. The kit comes with graphics, a rear spoiler, side skirts, Boss emblems, and a front spoiler. You can also order the chin spoiler, 15-inch Super Spoiler, and export wheel flares separately.
For you '99-'04 folks, Shinoda has a few items as well. Like those with '94s-'98s, those with the SN-95 cars can get the chin spoiler, the Super Spoiler rear wing, and the cool-looking rear window louvers.
Specific for the new '05 Stang, Shinoda offers the Boss Shinoda Legacy kit. The kit is not only an appearance kit, but a performance one as well. The Legacy kit includes a chin spoiler, a rear wing, graphics (vibe or hockey-stick style), a BCS spring kit, a high-flow exhaust system, a Shaker hood, pedal covers, a Hurst shifter with a white shifter knob, fender emblems, and Shinoda five-spoke wheels.

When it comes to performance, the words Mustang and Saleen are synony-mous. Saleen offers its body kits to those who want the look but don't want the hassle of explaining to the wife why the second mortgage was taken out to finance the car and not the house repairs.
The eight-piece '05 Mustang kit contains the Saleen-specific front fascia, grille, side skirts, rear fascia, lip spoiler, and corner extensions. The urethane pieces are sold separately. Complementing the kit is the Saleen hood and the fiberglass Saleen rear wing.
If you own a '99-'04 Mustang, Saleen has you covered as well. The company's four-piece kit includes a front and rear fascia and side skirts. A fiberglass Saleen hood, rear wing, and sidescoops will finish the look. One note, however, is that owners of '03-'04 Cobras will need to fill the existing rear spoiler holes and drill new ones to install the Saleen rear wing.

The kit includes a chin spoiler, a rear spoiler, upper body scoops, lower brake scoops, Shelby-style wheels, and painted dual stripes.
