Say no the intake...

Get the exhaust and the mid pipe for the car. Megan mid pipes seem to be a decent buy for the $$ and the Tanabe or Fsport exhaust will compliment it really nice.

I would spend the $$ on different rims but get the above first. Then drop the car on F-sport springs then decide on the rims...

Looking good so far!

roof spoiler or suspension drop if you haven't done one already. maybe some spacers to push your wheels out more? i don't know if that's possible, just throwing that out there since your wheels look a little sunken in.

Get rid of the red license plate lights.

1. It looks ugly.
2. You'll get pulled over.
3. You'll confuse dumb drivers behind you.

How about F-Sport suspension mods (shocks, springs, sways, etc.)?

Ditto on losing the red lights. The original lights look good why didn't you like them?
