I did this. It weighs virtually nothing, and helps deaden some of the tininess coming from the trunk. I think it was under $50 for the panel and fasteners.

kartboy short shift kit for around $250...

Check out the review. +5hp for $50!

HOw is this comparable to one of those k&n air intake filters that promises a few more HP?

I'd go K&N drop in filter for little more pep.
Weathertech floor mats for easy interior clean up.
Tires when you get around to replacing stockers, extra grip feels amazing.
Tint is pretty nice too.

The same guys reviewed the K&N and it measured a 5.7 hp increase compared to the 5 hp APEXi produced.

Some people have a great "relationship" with K&N, but I don't. The K&N setup I had on my '99 Carrera oiled up my air mass flow sensor, causing the CEL to go on. I didn't want to deal with that again so I went to the APEXi dry filter setup. .7hp was not enough for me to go back to K&N.

Clear side marker
Custom plaque for that area where the seat warmer switch goes
HID
K&N filter
LED

Yospeed center console plaque to cover up the empty square
K&N Drop-in Filter
Mtec Shift spring
Motul 300 oil to replace the factory fill (one of the best mods ever, makes shifting extremely smooth)

GrimmSpeed strut tower brace - immediately noticeable difference. The whole front end seems more bolted together. Easy as pie installation (unless you don't know how to torque bolts).

How many bottles of the motul 300 is needed?

Better be cheap seeing as it doesn't cost them much to setup cones in a damn parking lot.
