I upgraded my suspension to Fortune Auto coilovers w/ Swift springs and added FSport swaybars. The swaybars are the best bang for the buck out there in my opinion and provide a considerable improvement in handling.

I've also installed a Greddy Evo3 exhaust and JDM window visors. They're a little costly, but sound/look great.

Coilovers and wheels. Lip kits and exhaust. Intakes is usually the first preferred choice for mod.

Spend some time viewing member's cars on CL to check out their mods, then decide which you would like to do to yours........ TONS of threads, pics and details at your fingertips.

Performance: Axle Back, Mid Pipe, Intake, Headers
Stance: Coils/Bags
Aesthetics: Lip, Red Outs, Roof Spoiler, Wheels, Window Visors, Lighting, Interior Accents, etc....
Audio: Aftermarket sub and amp, upgraded drivers

The list is a never ending list.. I started with an intake, exhaust, and coils. Now I have no stock parts and all aftermarket parts including my whole trunk and hood..

Be careful to "thank" us, my friend. The modding can be a slippery slope, if you will. You will start with a few changes and soon become addicted.......... All for the good, no doubt but it really is never ending. I have finally reached a plateau, if you will and don't have anything planned besides adding a Wald rear lip or moving to drilled/slotted rotors but doubt even those will be my final mods.
