My theory on getting a brand new car on modding:
Drive the damn car. Drive it hard. Then you will begin to realize where YOU want to make improvements. Intakes and such are going to, in my opinion, for the most part, leave you disappointed.
The single biggest improvement anyone can make to their cars is tires. Get some sticky rubber and you'll far improve your car's performance more than an intake.
