besides the bumpers, headlights, grill, and hood.
i.e. do i need a header panel, bumper supports or any other micelanious stuff.

What year is your Mystique? Are you wanting the Contour headlights? I believe the SVT bumper will bolt right up to a 98+ Mystique. Otherwise, you'll need the Contour headlights, Contour fenders, and the Contour hood. Not worth the effort in my opinion. All of these parts are $$$$$$$$, and you still have a 170HP engine. Buy an SVT if that's what you want.

bleh u got the car that I have currently. All I can tel lyou is getting the SVT kit is $1200 painted w/ FRONT BUMPER MOLDING so you can use your existing headlights and grill. Secondly, to fix your sunroof, replace the gear in there and regrease it with some new kind of lithium grease or jelly. Thirdly, If you bought hte car for $1600, do you really want to spend another $1600 putting aesthetic parts on there without touching your engine?

To make a slight improvement, SVT UIM/LIM + SVT TB (Upper intake manifold/lower intake manifold + Throttle Body). Find an SVT exhaust bolt it on, ....

btw....

being in the middle of this myself with my contour, ie installed a SVT "body kit" and getting my whole car painted I would agree with everyone else and just buy a SVT.

I followed through because I got a good deal on the "kit"

You can mod your current car.. but its always going to be a Slushbox.

Save up and buy an SVT.

My laptop sucks. After I changed the motherboard out (I had a broken headphone jack, and pinmodded it while I was in there), the numpad section doesn't work anymore. The "num lock" light comes on, but nothing happens

So I have to bust out Character Map (Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools) to do common special characters, like ° and �
