Kevintari, I like the steering wheel idea. Something you see daily!
Streetx, Ultimately I will decide. I sure am grateful for any opinions or suggestions. I don't have a super extensive mechanical background. I really am digging the Joe Z exhaust.
Dannyk8232, I already have the PSS's! I bought them after you suggested them to me. Lol. Thanks by the way, love em.

Are you going for performance mods or for looks? I always do performance first on my cars, then if I still have the itch after that I go to cosmetic stuff. Personally I'd do things in this order - what I got in is in ():
1. Headers (PPE)
2. Exhaust (Borla)
3. Springs, or coilovers if you're going to track it and need adjustability (Swift)
4. F-sport sway bar, or Sikky if you need adjustability (Sikky)
5. Figs/RacingBrake Lightweight rotors (next on my list)
As for appearance mods, that's all up to your personal taste. Some will go for wheels, some tires, some body pieces, some interior. Just do whatever you like best first and work down from there.

Intake isn't worth the effort/cash as others have already mentioned.
I had a Takeda intake for a few months, but ultimately found it was robbing me of HP and causing strange AFR readings on the dyno. Ended up selling it, and replacing it with a K&N panel filter in the original airbox. I then replaced the intake piping with the HPS silicone offering.
I'd go with exhaust mods if I could do it all again. Maybe the Joe Z PTS system with PPE headers. That way you actually gain something from a performance perspective, and unleash that lovely V8 burble.
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do mate.

First start small and get a Joe Z intake(5whp gains proven) or K&N, Takeda, AFE , then an exhaust (Joe Z, Borla, ISS), then for the big power headers (PPE, Sikky, Novell). Have fun modding.....
