The car is pretty good from the get go. It could use a few small things here and there, depending on what your goals are, but I would stick to some pretty basic things right now.

MTEC shift springs- $20 (big improvement)
Whiteline Shifter Bushing- $20 (another big improvement)

Some better bite from upgraded brake pads wouldn't hurt but they aren't necessary, unless you plan on some track time. I would wait until you figure out what you want from the car in terms of looks and power before you start really modifying things. Otherwise, you'll just have to turn around and sell stuff and will have wasted time and money.

Maybe take a ride in a few cars with different setups: something that's N/A with the basic bolt-one (header, exhaust, tune), and maybe another with some sort of forced induction. That way you don't spend $2,000 doing an N/A setup just to realize you aren't happy with it and have to sell off half the parts.

You just got the car though so I would honestly just wait a little bit. After some time, you'll discover things that you want to change/add or that you don't like that can be solved with aftermarket items. Don't just blindly modify because you have money burning a hole in your pocket.

Wait it out. Do it once. Do it right.
