Garner,
It's not just Mustangs, it's ANY car to trade in. I used to own a used car dealership and worked at several new car lots.
Trade ins are a huge profit center for dealerships. Behind your back they'll use terms such as P.O.S. if it's in bad condition and "took your head off" if they get your car at a low price.
Some people will argue the tax savings, but this doesn't compare to selling the car outright to a private buyer. You'll still come out way ahead selling privately. People who don't have patience to do it always take a bath on trade ins.
Do yourself a favor and put it back to original as much as possible and then post it on Craigs to sell to a private buyer. It'll take longer but will be worth it. Any modded looking car people think you drove the piss out of it and mentally it loses value.
