If you have a GT and this happens to you check to see that the traction control is turned on, check engine rpms's and white smoke from the rear view mirror, then let off gas and shift to next gear.

It wont void warranty. A warranty cannot be wholly voided by an aftermarket part. Only the parts affected can be voided.
Funny how Ford now has their own CAI. Go ahead and do it. You can always spend 10 minutes reinstalling to stock if you need to take it to dealer with a problem.

Well I certainly don't need more than 16" to 17" wheels on any car. I like the stripe look on a Stang and Cobra, and the hood scoops look fine to me. Are you perhaps assuming everyone wants, and needs a car to your liking? Interesting. Will have to check with you before purchasing any car to be sure it meets your criteria. 
As for chrome wheels, I would not own any which were too heavy, as in unsprung weight not being a good thing, but if it matched the color of the car, and the look of the model of car, I could go chrome. Even if you think it is pimp.
Have you ever seen the Liberace car at the Imperial Palace. Now that is ummm, well, let's say something else. Maybe it needed a hood scoop.

Different strokes. I just think 18" chrome wheels, a hood scoop, racing stripes, etc. overdress the car, are in poor taste (imagine a BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus with these accoutrements).

I was concidereing the scoop but now that I know they are fake and add no performance or engine cooling I will not be adding one. The only one that I say that was funtional had a intake tube routed under the hood to the cold air box. However unless it improved something its just air resitance and noise.

Thank you, Imm. Now I re-consider of buying CAI.

What are Clutch Packs and why are they being used in repairs of Mustangs?

White Mustang, with blue stripe has always been to American racing colors. They do race Mustangs. As for chrome wheels, they can look sharp on a black car, like a Mercedes, BMW or a Stang. Do you need 18" wheels -- I think not. Hood scoops can look good, or they can be a bit too large looking like on the WRX. Yeah, non-functional on the Stang, but it may not be an overdress. I personally dislike the spinner wheels, which aren't real.
Don't care for the manual tranny on the Mustang, so would buy the automatic. It is one of those drive it, and if it feels right to ya, and you are thinking of buying a stick - go for it! In this case, I do not like the tranny.

Clutch seems too heavy. The point of catch seemed a bit hard to get use to, but I did not drive it too long - just short test drive. The stick is a bit notchy. Mostly it is the really stiff clutch. For driving on a track, or just a fun run, it may be OK. Would not want to live with it for daily travel around town or stop and go traffic anywhere.
Best manual transmission I have found so far is on the Miata.
On a Mustang, I think I would go with the automatic. Wonder if some sort of shiftronic - tiptronic or whatever so called tranny is in the cards for Mustangs? And the new 3.5 V6 is a go?
