Where to start?
Tires, tires, tires, and tires. :P Hands down biggest performance booster you will get from "bolt on" for the price.

I personally don't care for much of anything cosmetic. my last two cars i washed every 6 months (well actually my friends would wash because they would get upset that i was mistreating my cars..). Just to set a baseline.

Personally I swapped the projectors out of my headlights so i could properly put in HID's as I could not see around corners while on "spirited" drives (safety first !). I have a set of KSports sitting in the warehouse waiting to go on, that will likely be set at the near absolute maximum heigh. (im not giving this as a direct recommendation get whatever you want and it depends on what class you want to drive in). following that will be a re-tune from visconti (hopefully next month!) then flex fuel once he releases his kit. and a drop in filter at the same time.

Then i will likely be swapping brake pads, lines, fluids. And once Nameless releases their header I will likely be ordering one off the bat with a full exhaust & the quietest muffler they have.

Once I wear out the factory tires I will likely swap out my sway bars to balance the car out roll-wise to compensate from the added grip.
