When it comes to shotguns (or anything for that matter) a minimalist approach is best. If your Mossberg 500 works fine now, there's no sense in changing the furniture on it.

Yes, it is a matter of opinion, so if it already works well in his opinion, nothing should be changed. If he wants something changed because it doesn't work for him, that's fine too, but if he wants to change something to live up to these dumb new age tactical expectations, he might be wasting his money. The parts might not work like he wants them to, or at all, so he could be downgrading. Most guys will tell you that fancy foregrips, rails or collapsible stocks are just money you've put onto your gun and don't increase efficiency, at least not enough to justify cost. If he wants to throw money at his shotgun to make it look cool though, it's his gun and he can do what he wants with it, but 99 percent of the time you don't NEED shotgun "upgrades" like this. Side saddles and buttpads are good, and in a few cases new stocks, but hundreds of dollars in new parts won't change the way the action works or how the gun shoots. Like I said before, take a minimalist approach.
What's the barrel length, magazine capacity and type of furniture(wood or synthetic)? Do you have pictures? It would be good for us to know before we can give any real input on what you do and don't need.

I stand by what I say, and I don't mean to be rude, I'm just saying that looks aren't everything and it might not be a good investment, and before anyone says anything else it might be a good idea to know what he has now.
One last thing though, if you have to change your parts, you should go with something that's factory made or aftermarket parts that are highly rated or recommended on the site you're buying it from. Tapco, the maker of the stock, can be a bit hit and miss (as can a lot of the collapsible shotgun stocks) and I wouldn't trust the foregrip.
