I hope you haven't experienced the infamous "typewriter tick", as Ford calls it, in which you may need to get a short block replacement. Also, if you have the 6-speed manual(MT-82) be careful about banging the gears. Many owners are losing their 3rd to 4th gear shift because of bent aluminum shift forks. I think there's a Ford TSB and maybe a fix on that.

Sound system... usually updating the speakers and adding a good amp will make all the difference. As far as tire noise, try having a fresh alignment done. My alignment sucked from the dealership. I had it checked at Firestone and it was way off.

Your car didn't come with a monster truck stance. None of the gen6 Mustangs come with that anymore. You put smaller diameter wheel and tire setup than factory. If you would have put the performance package size wheels and tires you wouldn't have had so much fender gap. You also would have less rattling in your car because you wouldn't need to lower it and get a rougher ride. Anytime, I've lowered a mustang it becomes a rougher ride and more road noise.
