Where do you buy affordable car parts for mustang?

I want to start upgrading my 07 mustang but everything seems so expensive. For example, a cold air intake. Do you have any suggestions for places to buy? Read your answer please. Answers like "You should not do that because..." or "Cars are expensive." can be kept :) Helpful answers are greatly appreciated!

1. Craigslist used parts are a great idea for parts on a budget. Or, join a few forums and browse their parts sections. Otherwise it's not wise to buy parts just because they are cheap, you really do (with a few exceptions) get what you paid for. Good luck.
2. Try JCW.com Alot of times they have better prices than anywhere else. You just have to worry about the installation.
3. Buy it off of the vendors on a forum site...usually they give group discounts. Keep in mind that on most mainstream vehicles there are going to be a lot of poorly constructed parts hacked together by companies to make a quick buck. Stick to the major manufacturers. If you're worried about cost you probably shouldn't be messing around with a working car. That's just common sense. You start throwing in parts that require other parts (which you don't want to pay for) you're going to be in a world of hurt.
