Default Attn Ford & Mustang guys! Newbie

I just picked up a 01 Mustang GT that I am going to put togeather for my father. The car is almost 100% stock at the moment. I got it from the orig owner, 54 yr old, and it looks like it came off the showroom floor. Only mods as of now are flowmaster exhaust, K&N drop in filter, and a upgraded clutch. I am looking at doing only a few basic mods...
please let me know of good places to look/brands for parts as well as any other parts that may be good to get. I am not a mustang guy so I have no idea.

I am looking at getting...
-Tien S.Tech Springs 2.5"/2.3"
-aFe cold air intake
-18x9 22et 03 cobra replica wheels in black w/ svt center caps
-8k HIDs
-spoiler delete

get a steeda tri-ax shifter, then go with some 4.10 gears. never heard of a afe intake bbk is the more popular brand.
summittracing has underdrive pulleys for 90 or something.

websites to look around for parts, and info:
corral.net
americanmuscle.com parts come in the next day for around here.
latemodelrestoration.com the last couple of orders for my 91 were put on back order so I dont recommend it much, but its there.
sn95forums.com recently (6months ago) became new edge mustang friendly.
91hatch is a mod motor guy.

edit: scan through craigslist, 03-04 cobra termi wheels come up quite often for a steal.
