Default upgrades????

hows it going fellas, i was needing some advice here. I cant afford to get a new F150 right now so i was just wanting to fix up my 95 f150(xlt 5.0 V8 92k miles). I love this truck and i want it to stand out. So far I put a K&N air intake on along with a 40series flowmaster duals coming out the rear and a new stereo system with new speakers all the way around. What else do you suggest i can add or upgrade to make my truck perform better and look better. Im not to knowledgable when it comes to the automotive world but i know you guys are. So any advice and suggestions would be great. my next step is going to be new headlights and tailights with hid's. thanks in advance!!

Also the new headlights would definitely make you stand out. A nice shiny new set makes a world of difference, I wish I had some.
Bumpers are expensive, but some bigger nice looking tires, like bfg all terrains, which are my personal favorite, would look nice sitting under there too.
I don't know what your rear axle ratio is, but changing that up might give you a little acceleration boost. And for bling, just top that off with a spiffy chrome or color matched diff. cover.
