Seriously, take this as advice:
Drive the car first.
Don't assume you know everything.
And after that, if you truly feel you need more power, want a flashier kit to make the car look better, bigger wheels, blah blah blah... then go mod away.
Until then, take your $20k and go buy some GoPro stock. If you had done that in the last 48 hours you would've made 20%+ on your investment while complaining about your nonexistent car.

This isn't a "hey, I'm doing this in a week" post. This is really just part of my research. I had a few questions about some specific mods im interested in. I figured the people with the answers would be here. Fastest way to get the info is from others with experience IMO. I will take your advice and drive the car some more after I buy it but I do have quite a bit of time logged already.

Everyone here wants to help you learn about this car and how to work on/mod cars in general. To do that you first need an understanding of the inner workings of the topics you laid out. You need to research first before you just start talking about slapping parts on. You need to understand that if you do A then B, C and D will happen.
It's good that you have a friend with a shop that can help you but working on cars is much MUCH more than just knowing how to install bits and change fluids.

Makes a lot of sense and isn't written in a ****ish manner. Thank you. But I don't feel like EVERYONE here wants to help lol I feel like some of these people have a "were an elite few" mentality. As soon as I mention I'm new they're like, "your not ready for the big leagues bro!" But will be the first ones to post "awesome! Very nice!" When I start showing pictures of the progress. I dont, by any means thing I know everything or am ready to dive right in to these mods. I'm just trying to get some answers to these questions I have floating around in my head.
